“I’m getting married. You’ll congratulate me too, won’t you?”
“What?”
‘I know my sister well.’
Yeo Jin values face more than anyone.
She couldn’t reveal her humiliation, having lived by the principle that one should not show one’s weakness.
“I feel like I would be happier if you blessed me.”
Slowly, the script crumpled in Yeo Jin’s hand, as if hooked by provocation.
She approached Yeo Jin and whispered in a low, calm voice that others wouldn’t hear.
“I’m really grateful to you, sister. For giving him up.”
“Are you, crazy?”
“I am crazy.”
Seo Rin straightened her bent waist and chuckled mischievously.
“Smile a little. There are already bad rumors about you, sister.”
Saying so, she laid her slender hand on Yeo Jin’s shoulder.
“What are you going to do if rumors of discord with me also come out?”
Yeo Jin twitched her eyebrows, perhaps feeling the gazes of many people behind her.
People would think that she couldn’t help it because of her past friendship with Yeo Jin.
Yeo Jin’s eyes grew cold.
Then, as she thought, she pulled her hand off Yeo Jin’s shoulder.
It was amusing to think that she would be hollow inside, contrary to the lofty expression she was wearing.
So why do you keep touching my nerves?
“No… my sister has been struggling lately, and it seems I might have made an unreasonable request.”
“……”
“I’m sorry.”
Yeo Jin, who seemed ready to give up due to the blatant stares of people, smiled at that moment.
As if she were truly joyful.
“No, it’s only natural to congratulate. Congratulations on your wedding.”
For a moment, her mind went blank. The Yeo Jin she knew was not the kind of person to respond this way.
“Th, thank you.”
Her trembling lips stopped due to the bewilderment.
Unable to refuse, she thought Yeo Jin was trying to save her pride till the end.
‘Well, that’s that.’
The moment Seo Rin, who had turned to Yeo Jin, was about to walk back towards her colleagues.
“But Seo Rin, you’ll have to quit being a news anchor soon, right?”
“……?”
“Your belly will keep getting bigger, it will be tough to keep going.”
Surprised, Seo Rin turned back.
Did everyone hear what Yeo Jin said? The surrounding chatter ceased for a moment.
“Oh my. Looks like no one knew. Seo Rin is pregnant.”
‘Ha. Did she just mention pregnancy?’
Yeo Jin burst into a hearty laugh and deliberately exaggerated an apologetic expression.
She was taken aback by the unexpected counterattack.
“I thought everyone knew since you’ve been talking about it so much.”
A slowly spreading cold smile covered Yeo Jin’s face.
In the silence, Young Jun tried to defuse the situation, deliberately laughing and starting to talk.
“There are a lot of premarital pregnancies these days, that’s great!”
“That’s right, it’s a marriage gift, isn’t it? Seo Rin, congratulations.”
As the atmosphere gradually eased and people started to offer their congratulations, she managed to force an awkward smile.
However, Seo Rin still seethed with anger towards Yeo Jin.
She was infuriated that the situation, where she had planned to give a pleasant blow, had been reversed in an instant.
‘Did you think anything would change by announcing my pregnancy?’
“And I’m curious about something. Seo Rin, are you really getting married?”
“What are you talking about? Of course.”
Seo Rin’s voice trembled slightly as she responded to Yeo Jin, who was asking the obvious.
Ji Han hadn’t sought Seo Rin for a few days after visiting Pyeongchangdong.
And Ji Han, who had appeared quite a while later, asked about the pregnancy news.
He, whom she thought would be happy and thrilled, had a more devastated look than expected.
“I’m sorry. I feel terrible because it seems like I’m holding you back.”
In the end, she had broken down and cried miserably in front of him.
She was confident that she could naturally get married since she was carrying his child.
No, even though marriage was very natural, Yeo Jin raised the corner of her mouth with a meaningful expression.
“I wondered if it’s not just your own thoughts.”
She clenched her fist as she watched Yeo Jin, who made a pitiful gesture, leave the office.
She couldn’t stand that look in her eyes, as if she knew she hadn’t even received a proper proposal.
‘Do you think I can’t be a daughterinlaw in that family?’
She would show them. That she was different from her.
At that moment, what Yeo Jin had said while on the phone a little while ago passed through Seo Rin’s mind.
She definitely said Saturday at five o’clock.
Seo Rin savored a bitter sneer at the pleasant thought that crossed her mind.

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.”
