When I Reach You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
He insisted on coming all the way to the hospital entrance, even though I’d already reiterated that I’d go wherever he sent the meeting location. Well, that part was fine—up to a point.
“Ms. Na Rim, I’ve made a dinner reservation at a hotel. Shall we head there?”
Na Rim felt a wave of displeasure as Ho Seok’s hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.
Afraid that speaking outright might hurt his feelings, she forced the corners of her mouth upward in a strained smile and twisted her shoulder to shrug his hand off. It wasn’t the best response, but at the time, she thought it was the best she could manage.
When they arrived at the hotel he’d pre-booked, Na Rim offered a bitter smile.
“I hear their hallabong sorbet here is supposed to be especially delicious.”
W Hotel. Predictably, Tae Gyu’s face immediately surfaced in her mind.
Am I insane? Why on earth did I even consider bringing you here?
Just watching him from afar had been enough—but now that he was within arm’s reach, she wanted to touch him, to hold him close.
She hadn’t realized how harsh the consequences would be for stepping uninvited into his domain. All of this stemmed from her own greed.
How wonderful it would’ve been if the man sitting across from her were him instead. Na Rim lingered on Tae Gyu’s image in her mind, indulging in this futile longing.
After the meal ended and coffee arrived as dessert, he asked,
“Ms. Na Rim, was nursing always your dream?”
Actually, I’d originally wanted to be a doctor—but due to unavoidable circumstances…

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.”
