I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
Judging by its size, it seemed to be the main hall where the Clan Head’s office was located. It was so large that the fire didn’t seem to catch well.
Seeing the burning building amidst my already chaotic thoughts naturally brought back unpleasant memories.
‘This is driving me crazy.’
Of course, if one had successfully infiltrated inside while intending to attack the estate, the next step would obviously be arson. My mind understood that fact, yet accepting it in the current situation felt overwhelming.
Out of nowhere, another thought suddenly crossed my mind.
What if the Sorcerer’s claim about the Heukcheon Sect being unrelated to the Demonic Sect was a lie?
‘If, contrary to his words, the Heukcheon Sect is deeply connected to the Demonic Sect, and they deliberately cursed the Clan Head’s children to lure me here by making them seek help from Mount Hua…’
My train of thought was abruptly cut short by someone I unexpectedly encountered.
“Oh, Sect Leader…! Hah!”
It was a servant rushing by with a bucket full of water—probably heading to put out the fire.
The servant, who initially showed a delighted expression upon seeing me, suddenly widened his eyes for some unknown reason and froze in place. He then stammered while vaguely pointing at my clothes and face.
“S-Sect Leader… that blood… d-did you get hurt somewhere?”
“Oh.”
The Sorcerer’s blood was still on my sword—and on my sleeves and hands as well.
Now that I thought about it, when he touched my face, blood from his palm must have smeared onto my cheeks too. Realizing this belatedly made me uneasy, so I roughly rubbed my face a few times with my hand and shook my head.

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.”
