The 7-Day Contract (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
It was close to midnight.
Seon Young stepped into Hyun Ah’s officetel and froze in place, bewildered by the inexplicable scene before her.
Shattered glass fragments were scattered everywhere, and bloody footprints were chaotically smeared across the floor.
A half-naked man sat in the center of the sofa, wearing only hastily pulled-on pants; half his face and his upper body were drenched in blood. His head was tightly wrapped in bandages, indicating treatment had concluded.
The man, clutching his head in pain, was unmistakably the same guy Hyun Ah had recently been seen with—in Seon Young’s memory, at least.
There was clearly serious trouble.
Wincing with a headache, Seon Young pressed her temples, prompting Secretary Pyo—who had arrived earlier to handle the incident—to ask worriedly,
“Director, are you all right?”
“I’m… I’m fine. But what on earth happened?”
Secretary Pyo briefly explained the circumstances of the incident:
A fight had erupted between Hyun Ah and a man named Kim Young Joon, during which Hyun Ah struck Young Joon on the head with a liquor bottle.
A discreetly summoned personal physician had completed emergency treatment but recommended a thorough examination.
“And Hyun Ah? Where’s our Hyun Ah? Why can’t I see her?”
“The young lady was highly agitated, so we’ve placed her in isolation in the bedroom. She’s currently receiving treatment.”
“What?! You mean our Hyun Ah got hurt?!”

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.”
