The Secret Night at Unyeon Palace (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 2
The sight of Hee Gyeom, whom she met again after six years, still looked upright and flawless.
Eun Seol shot him a gentle, reproachful glance as she watched Hee Gyeom standing rigidly in front of her like a statue.
“How long do you plan to stand there? My neck hurts from looking up at you.”
“How could I possibly sit beside Her Majesty the Queen Consort? And furthermore, you must no longer treat me with such formality.”
“A teacher once is a teacher forever. Since this conversation may take a while, please come over here and have a seat.”
After hesitating, Hee Gyeom reluctantly climbed onto the wooden veranda only after Eun Seol urged him once more.
A brief silence settled between them, with a simply arranged tea table placed between the two.
It was Hee Gyeom who finally broke the silence.
“Though belated, congratulations on becoming the mistress of Gyotaejeon. Your benevolence, Your Majesty, is widely praised even in the provinces. Whenever people gather, they speak of you—and every story I hear is filled with praise. Each time, I couldn’t help but swell with pride.”
“Then why, all this time, did you never once send word? Even if visiting in person was impossible, at the very least a simple message of your well-being would’ve been possible—you were too much.”
“I deeply apologize. It’s just…”
Hee Gyeom began to speak, then stopped, gazing at her with dark, somber eyes.
For no discernible reason, her chest tightened, and unease crept in.
Eun Seol set down the teacup she’d been about to raise and asked cautiously,
“Do you have something to tell me? Or… has something happened to Eun Joo?”

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.”
