An Instinctive Proposal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
“There, there! I grilled it nicely, so please eat before it gets cold!”
Golden-brown slices of black pork were plopped onto the plate.
This was the barbecue restaurant Sung Won had guided them to.
Just as he described, it seemed to be a place only locals knew—though the shop was old and cramped, every table was filled with people who looked like neighborhood residents.
Sung Won rolled up his sleeves and showed great enthusiasm, holding tongs in one hand and scissors in the other.
He had even dismissed the staff member who offered to grill for them, insisting on doing it himself, and proudly shrugged, claiming he had thirty years of barbecue experience.
It seemed he genuinely wanted, as a Jeju native, to treat his Seoul guests well.
“How’s the meat?”
“Not bad.”
Tae Han tasted a piece and gave a blunt remark.
Yet, for him, saying “not bad” was practically high praise, so Sung Won smiled proudly.
“It just melts in your mouth. How can pork taste like this?”
Yeon Woo also brightened and praised it enthusiastically.
The flavor was so moving that, for a moment, even her heavy heart was forgotten.
The tenderness, the rich juice, and the deep savory richness that grew with every chew—she had occasionally visited upscale restaurants while assisting Tae Han, but this was the first time she’d encountered pork that melted so completely in her mouth.
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.”
aah, serim really messed up.
