The Grand Temptation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
“The wedding dress passed down through generations of the family got torn, didn’t it?”
“Ugh, dammit…”
Just as the curse was about to spill from his lips, Min Woo abruptly snapped his mouth shut. His eyes had met Yuli’s. He couldn’t afford to lose his temper in front of her. Instead, he sharply swatted away Jae Ho’s hand that had been wrapped around Yuli’s waist, glaring at him with burning eyes as if warning him not to lay a finger on his woman.
“I’ll go change and be right back.”
Min Woo grabbed his phone and stepped outside. Yuli entered the fitting room still wearing Jae Ho’s jacket. Perhaps because the space was cramped, the citrus scent emanating from the jacket felt stronger than it had outside—so much so it almost gave her the illusion she was nestled in Jae Ho’s embrace.
Am I out of my mind? What kind of fantasy am I having right now?
Yuli let out an incredulous laugh and hurriedly stripped off the torn dress.

“What on earth is going on here?”
Upon receiving Min Woo’s call, Mrs. Na immediately hung up and rushed over.
“Nancy Song, how on earth could you let this happen? What kind of management is this?”
Furious, Mrs. Na shouted loudly, her face flushed with rage.
“I’m so sorry, madam.”
“You think saying sorry fixes everything?”
“I’m truly, deeply sorry, madam.”
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.”
