Your Former Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Lunchtime.
Jin Sung entered the secretary’s office holding a takeaway coffee. He greeted everyone politely and began handing out coffee to the entire secretary team.
“Did you all enjoy your lunch? Have some coffee and get back to work.”
“Thank you, Mr. Jin Sung.”
“We’ll enjoy the coffee.”
The reason Jin Sung had voluntarily taken on this coffee errand was that there were no junior-level staff members on the secretary team.
This was because, a few years earlier, a newly hired female staff member—smitten by Sung Jun’s appearance—had approached him in hopes of establishing an inappropriate relationship, even attempting discreet physical contact.
That day, Jin Sung acknowledged for the first time that being a handsome man could also be exhausting. He also realized just how many people in the world held onto futile dreams, even when no encouragement was given.
Sung Jun didn’t erupt in anger or publicly shame her on the spot in any dramatic fashion. The next day, however, she arrived to find her desk—and her position—had simply vanished.
Since then, only experienced male staff were permitted to join the secretary team, to avoid being drawn into such troublesome situations.
Still, the team wasn’t composed entirely of men. Though just one, there *was* a woman—the sole female among them—a married woman in her early forties who had recently returned from maternity leave.
‘What a dull, all-male environment.’
As Jin Sung grumbled silently to himself, Secretary Kwon—who was privately close to him—approached.

“Why do you ask?”

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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
