Whispers of Autumn Wind (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
It was the moment Chairman Oh had just finished saying that Gyeo Wool was such an outstanding student that she was even considering entering the medical school of Korea University. Right then, as if keeping time with the rhythm, a low mutter pierced Ga Eul’s ears.
“He must’ve grilled the old man quite a bit.”
The source of the voice was none other than Oh Myung Se, seated right beside her.
“Even then, at best she’ll just become some lowly doctor.”
Making sure his target wouldn’t hear—or so he thought—Oh Myung Se sneered once again. Though his voice was so quiet others likely didn’t catch it, Ga Eul, sitting right next to him, heard it clearly.
Ga Eul quickly raised her head and checked Gyeo Wool’s expression across the table. Though Gyeo Wool kept her head lowered, Ga Eul sensed it—Gyeo Wool had heard it too.
Thus, Oh Myung Se’s intention was unmistakable: to let only those nearby hear him, to wound only his chosen target, all while ensuring Chairman Oh Gyu Baek wouldn’t detect a thing.
“A lowly doctor? You’re not even qualified to become that.”
Ga Eul murmured softly in return. It’s not something only you can do. Whatever you do, I can do better.
When Oh Myung Se abruptly turned his head to look at her, Ga Eul smiled right into his face and said,
“Did you hear that? I heard it too.”
Ga Eul’s words drew attention from those around them, prompting Oh Myung Se to stay silent and shift his gaze back to his rice bowl.
“Do you like the house you moved into?”
Madam Jang Ji Hong addressed Ga Eul, seemingly seizing the opportunity while she was at it—after all, up until now, Madam Jang had barely acknowledged Ga Eul’s presence.
“Yes, I like it. Thank you.”

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
