Acts We Shouldn't Do (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
“Is that so?”
“…….”
Shocked into silence, Ji Seung Hee’s mind flashed back to a conversation she’d had with her husband long ago.
“Did you know? Earlier, Director Im at the Kang Seon Art Center referred to our Yuri as Tae Seo’s fiancée. What’s going on?”
“……It seems Father made a promise with the late Chairman Kang Seon Il.”
“Your father passed away before even meeting Yuri—how could he have known she’d be born and arranged an engagement like that……?”
The news of Chairman Jo Seong Hwan’s sudden death had reached Seung Hee just as she’d begun seeing Dae Hoon, newly introduced through a cousin. Two months later, she became pregnant with Yuri and rushed into marriage.
As Seung Hee quietly sifted through these old memories, horror dawned on her face.
“You don’t mean…….”
“I knew Yoon Se Na had met Father before leaving for the U.S.… But I had no idea he’d made such a promise about a child who hadn’t even been born yet.”
“It’s Yoon Se Na, isn’t it.”
She couldn’t forget that sting of betrayal. She’d known he was a successful man and figured he’d had his share of flings.
But the issue was that his one and only scandal—despite his otherwise icy demeanor—was with Yoon Se Na, the actress who’d dominated both film and television at the time.
Seung Hee knew Yoon Se Na well. They’d met every year at the Korean dance competition during high school—they couldn’t not know each other.
With her beauty and exceptional talent, Yoon Se Na had swept every judge’s praise, leaving Seung Hee—raised delicately in a wealthy family—feeling utterly defeated. No matter how much money or effort Seung Hee invested, people’s eyes always turned to Se Na, two years her junior.

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
