I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
After that day, following a few more procedures, Woryeong truly became my junior disciple.
The Dao name he received was indeed “Hahyeon,” just as I had imagined upon first hearing his name.
‘Now it finally feels like things are back on the right track.’
Strange as it may sound, that was truly how it felt.
If until now everything had felt slightly off-kilter, now it seemed at least the basic framework had fallen into place.
Amid the unfolding of this tale, all the characters I knew had seemingly made their appearances. And upon reflection, that wasn’t entirely inaccurate.
Anyway, time continued to pass even after Woryeong—no, Hahyeon—became my junior disciple.
Unlike my own case, Hahyeon took a separate entrance examination, and since the Sect Leader himself verified the results, there was no gossip or murmuring behind his back.
In fact, perhaps because I’d even accompanied Hahyeon down the mountain and back, people seemed even more cautious about mentioning either him or me.
‘Right, that’s exactly why I went down the mountain in the first place.’
It was a thoroughly satisfying outcome.
……And so Hahyeon peacefully began his basic training. It wasn’t vastly different from what I’d done when I first arrived, though his starting difficulty was slightly higher than mine had been.
Moreover, as expected of a protagonist, everything—from the speed at which his stamina built up to how quickly he grasped the internal cultivation methods—progressed just a bit faster than mine in a strangely noticeable way. Of course, it probably helped that he’d always been naturally healthy and strong.
Thus, before spring had fully arrived, just as the plum blossoms planted within the sect’s gates began bursting into full bloom, Hahyeon was allowed to hold a wooden sword for the first time.
Watching him, I thought to myself:
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.”

I understood—having grown up constantly reading others’ moods, she’d come to bel
That hurts to read about. I get it. But dang tho, she definitely needed help from someone who could see her heart truly.
Made me feel even more sorry for the original owner of this body.
True…I had a similar thought. It’s very heartbreaking to think about that she was actually controlled and commited suicide when we came to realization in the end
There’s that junior disciple.
I think the address needs to be changed in a previous chapter where she was addressed as junior.

I think this novel doesnt really fit with the usual romance theme of this website. But that’s something I am actually very happy about 🙂
