Yoon was about to go upstairs when she stopped and listened at the door of Do Chi’s room. Judging from the sound of the wheel, Do Chi seemed to have woken up. Yoon opened the door and went in.
“Do Chi, let’s trim your nails.”
As the day was nearing its end, Do Chi had woken up from sleep. Do Chi still seemed unfamiliar, and didn’t give her an inch. As soon as anyone came near, he would curl up like a pinecone, and if anyone came closer, he would push them away with his head while making a ‘shush’ sound.
“We need to trim your nails. If we don’t, it will hurt.”
Yoon put on leather gloves and extended her hand towards Do Chi.
To befriend Do Chi, she needed to approach him barehanded. However, as the owner of a sensitive and prickly character, Do Chi had his spikes fully up, hence she had to wear gloves.
As expected, Do Chi ‘shushed’ and pushed away Yoon’s hand with his head. Then, he retreated back into his pouch.
“What should I do?”
She had to bathe him, but it seemed impossible to do anything, let alone trim his nails, in this situation.
With no other choice, Yoon opened her phone and searched for a pet clinic. Fortunately, there was a clinic not too far from home.

It seemed she would have to take him to the clinic for both the bath and nail trimming.
“He’s going to be scared there.”
Yoon poured Do Chi’s favorite mealworms into a bowl and held it out near his pouch. But whether Do Chi was scared or in a bad mood, he didn’t even glance at it.
“What are you doing?”
At the sound of a voice, she turned to see Kang Hyun leaning against the door frame, looking down at her.
“Kang Hyun, you’re here? You said you were going to Woo Sung’s headquarters, right? You must be tired without sleeping. You didn’t eat dinner, did you? Go wash up. I’ll quickly prepare something for you.”
Yoon approached him and spoke softly. Kang Hyun looked at the lovely Yoon approaching him. Yoon had certainly been talking a lot more lately.
When she first entered this house, she was so timid that she would back away and run whenever he tried to get a little closer, and her expression was always dark.
She was always careful like a guest in someone else’s house, and she didn’t even come out of her room, even staying locked in there. She always seemed to be skipping meals, and when asked, she said she ate at the apartment restaurant, which surprised him.
First, he was surprised at the fact that there was a restaurant in the apartment, and he couldn’t even imagine that she would be eating there.

“I told you not to worry about my meals.”
“It won’t take long. And I have to eat too. I’m planning to make cabbage soup, is that okay?”
She, who had once been so reserved, now approached him with a smile and took his hand first.
Yoon was mild, but she was not someone who easily opened up to others. Yet recently, Yoon was the one who approached and extended her hand first.
“Were you waiting for me?”
Kang Hyun found his smiling reflection in Yoon’s clear eyes still unfamiliar. However, he no longer disliked such a sight.
“Yes. Of course.”
“Did you learn cooking from your grandmother?”
Yoon was adept at whipping up any kind of food.
“More than learning, I’ve been watching since I was a kid.”

As Kang Hyun wrapped his arm around Yoon’s shoulders, she also wrapped her arm around his waist.
“That hardearned skill of learning over the shoulder? That’s impressive?”
“I don’t do it well.”
At Kang Hyun’s words, Yoon blinked her eyes and flashed a smile.
“Did I make a good marriage?”
“Well.”
Yoon tilted her head, looking adorable. Kang Hyun playfully stamped a kiss on the top of her head.
“Did you visit the oriental medicine clinic?”
“Yes.”
“What did they say?”

“Well, they said that my body is a bit tired and prescribed some medicine.”
“See, it’s good to work hard, but you shouldn’t push yourself too hard.”
“Yes.”
The two slowly ascended the stairs. Kang Hyun usually asked, and Yoon answered softly, and Kang Hyun watched Yoon with a smile at such moments.

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.”
