Brother, You're Mistaken (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
A few hours ago.
Hye Ju had stayed at the office until late at night, finishing up the survey proposal she needed to send to Tae Yang Foods. Given the company’s usual stance against overtime, most of her colleagues had already left.
She was working after having hastily eaten a sandwich for dinner when Da Hee walked in. She, too, seemed to have drawn the short straw for overtime, clutching a stack of documents in her hand.
“Jjeon-da, you’re pulling an all-nighter today?”
“Yeah. Forgot about the report I promised to submit by today.”
“Wait, you came back after already leaving?”
“Yep.”
Normally, Da Hee would have jumped at the chance for a “double overtime” session and immediately started chattering away—but today, oddly enough, she was cold and distant.
Hye Ju watched in silence as Da Hee tossed her folder onto the desk and took her seat.
‘Is something going on?’
Lately, Da Hee had been acting really strange—switching abruptly from icy to affectionate, making it impossible to tell what mood she was in.
Hye Ju had guessed she might have had a fight with Seung Won, as often happened in the early stages of dating, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask outright. Ever since the incident at the skewer restaurant, Hye Ju had sensed a strange wariness from Da Hee—one day, she even seemed reluctant at the mere mention of Seung Won’s name.
‘It’s really bothering me. What’s going on?’
Hye Ju stole a glance toward Da Hee’s seat and placed her hands back on the keyboard.
Just as Hye Ju was special to Da Hee, Da Hee was equally special to Hye Ju. They’d met during their freshman year of university and had stuck together for nearly eight years. Since both were from provincial towns and lived away from home, they’d even shared a two-room apartment for a while—back then, it truly felt like they spent all 24 hours of the day side by side.

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.
