Woke Up And I'm A Married Woman (17 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
“…You have to come out today, don’t you?”
Hearing Hyle’s voice, Cedar slowly turned his head.
Under that sharp gaze—like a beast eyeing its prey—Hyle gulped down a dry swallow.
Back when he didn’t know much about Cedar Grenit, he used to be frightened by that look, but now he no longer shriveled under such scrutiny.
‘It’s just that you don’t feel like working, isn’t it!’
Why pressure me with that stare when it’s not even something you can say proudly!
‘And now you really must get back to work!’
Though he’d usually prefer to pretend he hadn’t noticed, this time he absolutely had to bring Cedar to the Azure Dragon Knights.
‘We’ve got the northern suppression campaign coming up soon, so we need to coordinate with other knight orders.’
His superior had always been such a workaholic that Hyle had never worried about this sort of thing before.
But now that his wife—who’d been in a vegetative state—had awakened, Hyle felt a real crisis: his superior might actually stop working like he used to.
‘Of course, it’s not urgent enough yet to start pushing him hard. Not yet…’
Still, he had a strong gut feeling that he needed to start nagging him right away.
After all, hadn’t Cedar already been devoting so much time to his wife?
He prepared all three meals himself, and when she fell ill, he suddenly took vacation days—something he’d never done in his life.

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.”
