I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 147
Because his pride—never once bent before—had been so thoroughly crushed, it was inevitable that Haheun kept coming to mind even after he returned to the Nangong Clan’s main house.
〈Why can’t you focus? You’re past the age where you wouldn’t understand that in a real battle, such a lapse in concentration would already have cost you your life.〉
〈…I’m sorry.〉
〈Of course, I understand that since you’ve never experienced defeat before, the shock must be immense. But you’ve been lost in that shock for far too long. The Central Plains are vast—encountering someone stronger than you is hardly unusual. There might even be someone stronger than that girl who defeated you, hidden away in obscurity.〉
〈I understand.〉
〈That’s enough for today. Gather your thoughts within three days—it seems that’s precisely what you need right now.〉
〈Understood.〉
His uncle’s words during training were something Nangong Seohan himself agreed with.
But agreeing didn’t necessarily mean he could act accordingly.
He succeeded only halfway in sorting out his thoughts within those three days.
During practice, he could at least pretend to focus—and eventually, he truly did concentrate—but as soon as he returned to daily life, Haheun came to mind again.
He thought of her so incessantly that, at some point, it became unavoidable: he could no longer tell whether this fixation was the interest of a rival he needed to defeat to reclaim his honor, or something else entirely.
Haheun herself probably wouldn’t appreciate being perceived this way, but there was no denying she was beautiful—anyone could see that.
He remembered how, right after her first match, she’d instantly become famous among peers of similar age.
Had she not been a disciple of Mount Hua but rather a daughter of a prestigious clan, she might have received dozens of marriage proposals after the Yongfeng Gathering ended.

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.”
