When I Reach You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
Eun Jae was sitting on the first-floor sofa, gazing out at the garden where a light drizzle fell.
In fact, “unable to tear her eyes away” would have been a more accurate description—aside from briefly glancing at her watch to check the time, her gaze remained fixed there without wavering.
It was already past 11 p.m.
Since no car had arrived yet, all Eun Jae could do now was wait and keep looking—there was nothing else within her power.
After all, reaching out or waiting in this situation both felt absurd.
Her nails, which she’d been gnawing incessantly, had long since become ragged. Outside the window, the rain continued to fall steadily, and along with the deepening night, her worry thickened too.
Seon Woo’s figure descending the stairs, pulling on a knit sweater, flashed through her mind.
He’d been wearing pajama pants and only a thin knit top—even though the weather had been quite chilly, wasn’t that outfit far too light? What could he possibly be doing out there, at this hour?
“Even with your injured arm…”
Between the raindrops sliding down the glass, his face seemed to appear. She couldn’t forget that weary smile or the wounded look in his eyes.
“So all this time—from then until now—you never trusted me.”
It wasn’t that I kept it because I doubted you; I’d simply forgotten about it myself.
I never even dreamed the contract would still be inside the suitcase. Since this was the only way I could shake you, and unless I did something like this, you’d inevitably force me to stay here.
“That’s why I did it…”
Now, I truly needed to clarify my stance once and for all—which was why the words that had risen all the way to my throat ultimately remained unspoken.

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.”
