Then they began to see a bright light in the distance. The lights pouring from the large mansion, which they were about to arrive at, were clear.
As they got closer to the main house, Eun Jae took a deep breath. Sun Woo, who glanced at her, gave a slight chuckle.
“You don’t need to be nervous.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if you told me beforehand?”
“It was a sudden decision, so I didn’t have time to tell you.”
“Liar. The story you were going to tell while eating the other day is this, right?”
“Yes.”
Yes? Eun Jae looked at Sun Woo as if she were taken aback by his definitive answer to her random comment.
“See, if you had told me then, I wouldn’t have been so flustered.”
“Whether I tell you then or now, the outcome is the same.”
“Sir, the process is more important than the outcome in anything.”
“I’ll do it that way in the future.”
As if he couldn’t even speak. While Eun Jae was expressing her discontent, Sun Woo’s car entered the garden of the main house. The building, seen at night, was showing off its majesty even more than during the day.
The lights pouring out of the large windows and the lights scattered like stars in the garden were a spectacle.
Sun Woo’s car, which had been gradually slowing down, came to a halt in the middle of the garden.
As if asking why he parked here, Eun Jae looked at Sun Woo, who unbuckled his seat belt and reached into the cabinet in front of the passenger seat.
Eun Jae jerked back for a moment. Sun Woo casually handed her a red box he took out from there.
“What is this?”
“A celebration of us becoming a real married couple.”
“……”
“It’s a gift, open it.”
A gift……
With trembling hands, Eun Jae slowly opened the box. The pendant reflected the garden lights and shone brilliantly.
“Ah……”
She involuntarily exclaimed in admiration at its radiant beauty. Eun Jae just looked at that necklace for a long time.
Suddenly, while looking at the necklace, she felt a lump in her throat.
“Why. Don’t you like it?”
“No, it’s not that……”
“Shall I put it on you?”
Though he asked, it seemed like Eun Jae’s answer wasn’t important from the start. Sun Woo, who had unbuckled his seat belt, had already reached out. Holding the necklace separated from the box in one hand, he spoke softly.
“Come closer.”
Eun Jae also unbuckled her belt. As she tilted her body slightly towards Sun Woo, she clearly saw him slowly approaching her.
Slowly, slowly.
Every movement of the man was vividly captured in her eyes, like slow motion.
The sound of the man’s breath on her neck, and Sun Woo’s touch wrapping around her neck, made Eun Jae unable to regain her senses.
Slowly, the chain around her neck tilted forward. As she heard the sound of something locking with a click, Eun Jae lowered her head.
A necklace with a heartshaped lock was draped around the pretty, fair neck of Eun Jae. The diamond crammed inside the heart, combined with the lighting, shone beautifully.
The lips of the man, who had been watching Eun Jae as if observing her, moved softly as he spoke.
“You look beautiful, Ji Eun Jae.”

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.”
