Acts We Shouldn't Do (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
Dae Hoon gave a quiet chuckle and sat down. Perhaps because he was under detention, he looked disheveled—unlike the always neat image she remembered.
Although she had volunteered to come, being alone together inevitably made her uncomfortable. Jae In’s gaze briefly lingered on the door behind her, thinking of Tae Seo standing outside.
“Did you come here just to mock me for looking pathetic?”
At the hoarse, raspy voice, Jae In’s eyes returned to Dae Hoon. Unlike his carefully maintained hair, his un-dyed beard had grown in patchy and thick.
“I never thought of you as my father.”
Dae Hoon lifted his eyes to her, who spoke calmly, his head slightly lowered.
“You wouldn’t have come all the way here for no reason. Why did you ask to see me?”
His eyes were bloodshot, likely from sleepless nights plagued by repeated anger and anxiety.
“Don’t tell me you came hoping for an apology—for abandoning you and your mother?”
“Of course not.”
Jae In didn’t desire his apology. She had no intention of forgiving him. If her mother were still alive, things might have been different. Unlike her, her mother might have considered forgiving this man.
But her mother was gone now. Jae In stared blankly at Dae Hoon, with whom she clearly shared a bitter fate.
Why were you so cold? When we first met, couldn’t you have just once shown me a shred of shame? Back then, when I became an orphan, even just words would have been enough—why didn’t you say you were sorry?
All the resentment and questions that had once filled her mind now felt futile.
“You must think I’m done for, just like this.”

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
