Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Maybe it was thanks to the medicine Seon Ah had bought, or perhaps it was the shock of Seung Joo’s enormous annual salary—but either way, Eun Seo’s body aches had completely vanished.
After Seon Ah returned home that evening, Seung Joo persistently, almost annoyingly, kept asking her all weekend long,
“What do you want, noona?”
Each time, Eun Seo gave the same reply:
“I really don’t have anything I want.”
She truly didn’t have anything she particularly desired. Even if she did, she had no reason to accept it from Seung Joo.
“But why don’t you want anything? Girls usually like pretty things—clothes, bags, stuff like that.”
“I used to be like that, back in the day.”
She’d felt that way even through high school, even into college. Like her friends, she’d wanted shiny things, cosmetics, pretty clothes, and nice shoes…
But each time, an old sense of guilt would drag her down. Whenever she thought, “I don’t even know what Eun Ho is doing or where he is,” putting on pretty earrings or wearing lipstick in a soft shade felt like a sin.
Of course, she also lacked financial freedom. After years of restraining herself for all sorts of reasons, she’d genuinely lost the desire to want anything at all.
“Anyway, right now, there’s nothing I want.”
When Eun Seo finally insisted, Seung Joo looked utterly deflated.
“But I really wanted to do something nice for you…”
“You already stopped the demolition. That’s more than enough.”

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.”
