Boiling Desire (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Ha Joon recalled what had happened the previous night.
The moment after Seo Ah wrapped her arms around his neck, throwing him off balance, and their lips nearly touched.
Ha Joon had immediately snapped back to his senses and tried to sit up, but Seo Ah tightly shut her eyes.
Thump-thump. Thump-thump.
His heart felt like it was about to burst.
His mind grew hazy, and a dangerous heat gathered in his lower abdomen—but he wasn’t so pent-up that he’d take advantage of a woman too drunk to even stand.
He quickly scooped her up and headed toward the shower stall.
He needed to wash off the bath foam from her skin—just as he had done the night before.
But then, Seo Ah mumbled sleepily with her eyes shut, as if talking in her sleep.
“Why won’t you kiss me?”
“Haa…”
Ha Joon ignored her and carefully started removing her swimsuit. He kept her leaning against his body
and did his best not to look at her—afraid that if he did, he’d truly lose control.
Yet Seo Ah, seemingly still aware enough to feel shy, burrowed deeper into his arms.
Ha Joon’s head spun even more. Last night had been manageable—he’d already been intimate with her then, so at least the built-up tension had a release. But now there was no outlet for the heat gathering inside him.
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.”
He is soon cold 🥶 why he can’t just be honest with her
