I'm The Lowest-Ranking Daughter Of A Martial Arts Villain (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 149
Dokgo Ja Ryong.
The eldest son of Dokgo Cheon, now seventeen years old, had entered So Myeong Palace immediately after taking his first steps. From the way he ate and dressed to the tone of his voice and the glint in his eyes—every detail was scrutinized and judged. The sole emotion readable in people’s gazes was clear:
You must be perfect.
Ja Ryong agreed with those words.
Because I am the firstborn. Because I carry the Cheon Ma bloodline.
Excellence was taken for granted; only by surpassing those expectations and drawing gasps of admiration could one earn the words, “Truly, this is Ja Ryong.”
Thus, Ja Ryong’s fate demanded relentless, blood-sweat effort simply to remain Ja Ryong—to be nothing more than himself.
Sometimes, he faced fiery pursuit.
Ja Maeng, born just a day later, raged and strained himself endlessly to close that single-day gap. Ja Ryong was well aware of his brother’s efforts—but losing was never an option.
Because I am the eldest son.
It wasn’t shameful if a younger brother couldn’t surpass his elder, but for the eldest to be defeated by his younger—that was unbearable humiliation and disgrace.
Whenever Ja Maeng studied by cutting back on sleep, Ja Ryong studied without sleeping at all. When Ja Maeng shot arrows until his palms split open, Ja Ryong practiced relentlessly until the bowstring snapped.
Surprisingly, this wasn’t terribly difficult.
Just as he’d become the elder brother by being born a mere day earlier, Ja Ryong needed only to stay one step ahead to always remain in the lead.
‘I must have been unfair to Ja Maeng.’
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.”

What? What? Is it possible that Narin Su is now entering the competition? I can’t wait!
Well, what a strange situation! But what’s the point of this paper? And Narin didn’t bring the fish.
Nice way to ease everyone and without any damage done! So different from the force method. They are women after all, and have their own tricks.

‘I’ve been unconsciously running away.’
You were tired, overwhelmed, and drained by past lives and recent betrayal. It’s understandable. You can do it!
A reason she absolutely must become Young Sect Leader.
Yesss! Trick her into it! Only you can do it. Everybody else failed already.
‘Right—Father said the same thing: to bring a fresh wind to So Myeong Palace.’
Yayy! Finally! I said it was just going with the flow and utterly disappointing before? Do your best.. or maybe.. do your worst! 🤣

Oh my God, yes, this is what I was waiting for after he withdrew from the race for the young sect leader’s seat.
