Secret Cohabitation Love (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
“Winter. That’s what we called it.”
Tae Ha was speechless.
Winter?
The tattoo he’d discovered on Eun Seo during their first night together.
He’d spent the entire deep dawn recalling its meaning, feeling as though he were drowning in a truth just out of reach.
“You didn’t like that name either, right? We didn’t either. Of all seasons, why winter—the time when everything dies? If it had been spring, when everything comes back to life, maybe that would’ve made sense. But winter’s cold, and nothing about it felt right, so I said something about it. Of course, Mr. Kwon didn’t like the name either, so your mom just started calling you ‘Bo Mul’—’Treasure’—after that.”
“……”
“Your mom really loved winter. She said it was pure and transparent. Now that I think about it, I should’ve just let her call you that. I can still clearly picture her pouting face.”
Her maternal grandmother blinked slowly, her dull eyes clouded with regret, and gradually lowered her gaze to the floor.
Tae Ha stayed another five minutes before slipping out of the party venue and calling Woo Young.
“Woo Young, please have Eun Seo’s belongings from the Icheon warehouse delivered to Dongtaek by tomorrow.”
—By tomorrow? Why?
“I need to check something.”
On the day he’d first brought Eun Seo over, Woo Young had stored most of her belongings in the Icheon warehouse.
Though her luggage was simple, he was certain it might contain clues. . It felt like holding a single missing piece from a half-finished puzzle.

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.”
