As if gesturing for me to leave, Seol Yubin took out a cellphone from their pocket. I bowed my head again. Well then, should I go…
At that moment, something fell from Seol Yubin’s pocket.
Seol Yubin’s name tag.
“……”
“……”
As our eyes met, numerous stories passed between us.
I quickly averted my eyes.
“…I didn’t see anything.”
In an instant, Seol Yubin’s expression turned cold. Sensing danger instinctively, they shouted.
“Yu, Yu Yuvin!”
I urgently shouted.
“I really didn’t see anything!”
But even with my desperate shout, Seol Yubin was already in ‘How can I easily eliminate the evidence by killing?’ mode.
‘No!’
It was the biggest crisis since the possession.
‘No, why did it fall from there.’
At this point, it’s almost like they appeared to assassinate me.
I clung to Seol Yubin in a state almost about to cry.
“I, I, I, no, I really didn’t see anything! I won’t tell anyone!”
At that moment, the system appeared in front of me.
[Shall I help you?]For a moment, it felt like a savior had arrived.
‘Help me!’
I don’t know how the system is going to help in this situation, but right now, there’s nothing to trust but the system.
I wish it could rewind time or erase Seol Yubin’s memory. Make it as if nothing ever happened!
As I thought about that, a message appeared in front of me.
[Exciting Small Life Conquering the World’s Rank 0]“You said there wouldn’t be any romantic stuff last time!”
[It appeared after the update. ㅇ_〈]That darn update!
“Why did only weird features come up?”
Is this really helpful?
But now wasn’t the time to doubt that.
Three choices appeared in front of me.
[Q. The wild world rank 0 has exposed your identity and is contemplating how to assassinate you successfully. How should you persuade the world rank 0, who is worrying about how to assassinate you well, to believe that you’re innocent? [1. …Can I just give you money and you let me go? ㅜ^ㅜ] [2. What did I do wrong? _^] [3. (Winking) Oh, I really don’t know anything! ㅇ_〈]Hey!
“You crazy idiot! This is not helpful at all!”
Is there a correct answer here?
All three seem like a straight train to a bad ending.
“Come on.”
I tried to get rid of the choices given by the system.
[SYSTEM] [You cannot take actions outside of the choices provided.]This guy pretends to be a system only at times like this.
But I didn’t have time to be annoyed. Seol Yubin was glaring at me in front of my eyes.
“Ugh, I don’t know.”
I closed my eyes and chose the seemingly normal option.
Then, my mouth moved as if being controlled.
“…Can I just give you money and you let me go?”
Upon hearing that, Seol Yubin froze with a cold expression.
“Are you kidding me?”
It doesn’t work after all!
I was foolish to expect something from the choices provided by the system.
“Oh, how do I fix this?”
In front of me, another set of choices appeared.
[Q. The wild world rank 0 has rejected your persuasion. How about trying to persuade again with a new choice? [1. Should I kneel down? ㅠ0ㅠ] [2. Ugh… do you want to try me once? _+] [3. (Pouting) Oh, it’s so annoying! I’m scared, Jjuuni! 〉ㅁ〈]Are you kidding me?
Especially the third one. That won’t work at all, so why does it keep appearing?
“You crazy idiot, just go away!”
[Hing. ㅜㅜ]Only then did the system seem to understand my words and got rid of the choices.
“That’s it.”
Now I can speak freely!
Finally regaining my freedom, I closed my eyes tightly and shouted.
“Wait!”
Startled by the loud voice, Seol Yubin paused for a moment. I continued confidently.
“You’re not Yubin!”
At my words, Seol Yubin raised an eyebrow.
It was the first proper reaction I’ve seen. I took a deep breath and calmly continued.
“Yubin told me. She said she has a twin sister.”
Of course, it’s a lie. Seol Yubin has never mentioned anything about her family to me. We haven’t even had a few conversations in the first place.
“Since we’re identical twins due to being monozygotic… Is that you?”
“…How did you know?”
“I told you! I said I know Yubin well! I can recognize to that extent!”
Upon hearing that, Seol Yubin slightly furrowed her brows.
“But other people couldn’t recognize it.”
I also find that questionable… Why can’t they recognize it?
“I, I know Yubin well because we’re close friends.”
Seol Yubin seemed shaken by my words. I shamelessly continued.
“The reason Yubin changed a lot at school recently was because of you, right? You pretended to be Yubin instead.”
“Did you also know that?”
“Of course. I’m Yubin’s friend! You, you should know, Yubin didn’t have any friends, right? So even if Yubin changed, there weren’t many people who could recognize her. But I! Because I’m her friend! I could recognize her!”
I appealed desperately, putting all my effort into portraying the relationship between me and Seol Yubin.
“I’m Yubin’s friend!”
At this point, it’s almost like brainwashing.
Still, my desperate self-defense had an effect. Seol Yubin showed interest in me.
“Really? You’re Yubin’s friend? Okay, I’ll believe you.”
Thank goodness.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in the very next moment, Seol Yubin spoke coldly.
“But if you’re her friend, why didn’t you help Yubin when she was being bullied?”
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.”
