Your Former Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
The inner quarters, located deepest within Gyeongwonjae.
Seo Yeon was staring thoughtfully at the chessboard.
“Hmm. Where did the person who was playing chess go? You’re taking too long.”
Hearing this, Seok Hyeon, seated across from Seo Yeon, spoke with a note of impatience.
Yet even with Seok Hyeon’s urging, Seo Yeon continued to study the board carefully—then unexpectedly placed her piece in an unexpected spot.
Seok Hyeon stared at Seo Yeon with widened eyes for a moment, and shortly afterward, scoffed at her move.
“It seems I’ll win this round, after all.”
Feeling triumphant, Seok Hyeon didn’t stop there—he teased Seo Yeon once more.
“Surely you won’t ask for another chance, claiming you made a wrong move, will you?”
Seo Yeon, who had been pondering her next move, lifted her head at his remark.
“That was a deliberate move.”
She replied, accompanied by a faint smile. Convinced it was mere bluffing, Seok Hyeon moved his piece to capture her cannon with his soldier on the right—
essentially taking it for free, thanks to what he assumed was Seo Yeon’s mistake. While Seok Hyeon wore a satisfied smile, Seo Yeon, intently observing the board, played her next move.
“……!”
Seok Hyeon jumped in alarm. Seo Yeon had positioned her right-side cannon so it could now capture his chariot. He’d been celebrating taking her cannon for free—only to realize he’d just handed over his chariot without compensation.

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!
