The Temperature Difference with Him (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Ji An’s car gradually grew smaller in the distance.
Dan Woo stood rooted in place, staring blankly at the road deeply swallowed by darkness.
Though he had merely seen off someone who needed to leave, his heart felt utterly hollow.
Alone inside the house, traces of Ji An remained everywhere.
Her diligence had filled the once-empty bookshelf with books, and warm-toned, dainty-patterned cushions now occupied the sofa.
When Dan Woo entered the kitchen and opened the fridge, his pupils trembled with emotion. A curse slipped out unbidden.
It was the mulled wine in the sealed jar—or rather, the note Ji An had attached to it.
As he read the note, its rounded handwriting filling every margin, thick breaths escaped between his lips.
[I followed the best recipe, but it doesn’t taste like yours. Maybe that night, your presence comforted my loneliness more than I realized. Even with the broken boiler and freezing weather, my heart felt warm. Thank you for playing along with my crazy stunt. Like you said, I’ll become a great duck leader.]
“Haah! I’m going crazy.”
“You can’t go crazy, though.”
Even sensing Tae Yoon’s presence, Dan Woo couldn’t tear his eyes from the note.
He turned his head to collect himself, but—of all things—his gaze landed squarely on the yard.
Memories of time spent with Ji An flooded over him like a tidal wave.
That snowbound night: lying together in the yard, snow falling so thick it sparked fear.

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.”
