Once More, Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
“Your father wants you to stop by the house today.”
On his way home from work, Chae Ha had no choice but to turn his steps toward the family home after Heo Young Joo’s unilateral announcement.
He had gone through the trouble of queuing up to buy premium desserts for Seol Won and Woo Joo, yet this summons was anything but welcome.
Especially coming at such a timing, he could already guess the reason.
True to his expectation, the moment he stepped inside, Heo Young Joo rushed out and immediately began firing questions at him.
“Hey, Chae Ha! You better give me a proper explanation right now! Just who is that woman, and where did she come from?”
“Mother.”
“You sneaked her into the house without telling anyone—and what on earth are you planning? And of all people, Sa Ra had to witness that mess too, causing a huge scandal! Do you have any idea how hard I had to work covering for you? Hmm?”
“Where’s Father?”
“Look at you! Are you even going to answer me properly?”
“You’re here. Sit over there.”
“Yes.”
Seeing her protest completely ignored, Heo Young Joo stamped her feet in frustration.
She firmly refused Chairman Kwon Kang Ho’s suggestion to wait inside and instead planted herself squarely between the two men.
“Why did you call me? If it’s work-related, couldn’t you have just said it at the office?”

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.”
