The Bad Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
Jangwon main house.
On the weekend, as always, three women gathered for a quiet tea time. But less than 30 minutes after sitting down, complaints began to spill out.
“Oh, seriously. This tastes so bitter I can’t even drink it. Hey, when is Tae Eun coming? I feel like I can only enjoy this tea once Tae Eun arrives.”
“Me too, me too. These cookies are way too sweet.”
“Sister, is your coffee okay? Hasn’t the coffee changed much in flavor?”
Young Hee asked, glancing toward Young Ja’s coffee cup. In response, Young Ja quietly set her cup down and muttered bluntly,
“Coffee is coffee. Will you die just because something tastes a bit bad? Since when did you become such a fussy tea connoisseur?”
“Right? But the tea Tae Eun brings—its aroma is different, and it genuinely tastes better. I guess I didn’t notice back then, but after getting used to hers, this stuff tastes so off I can’t drink it.”
“Tae Eun’s that sly fox—her tastes are secretly quite refined. Maybe she didn’t just end up looking like that for no reason.”
“Exactly! Doesn’t she carry a kind of natural elegance? Our Tae Eun, I mean! Ohohooho!”
Since when had Young Hee started taking Tae Eun’s side so thoroughly? Watching Young Hee now instinctively refer to her as “our Tae Eun,” Young Ja let out a small sigh.
She still couldn’t forget Seo Woo’s face from a few days ago. Back then, she’d found it so unbearable—just being in the same place as her felt repulsive—that she’d stormed out without a second thought. But now, every time the image of Seo Woo’s venomous glare surfaced, Young Ja worried she might spread that malicious gossip to the press, and regret crept in belatedly.
But Young Ja wasn’t just anyone. She’d already instructed Director Lee to firmly warn Seo Woo to keep her mouth shut. Crude as she was, the girl had quick wits—she surely understood the message.
Just then, however, she sensed a shift in the air—like water suddenly changing its flow. And Young Ja knew all too well what this change meant. Only one person could alter the atmosphere this drastically.
“Aunt.”

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.”
