The extras seemed to be both excited and worried, as if this was their first appearance.
Seo Yoon had previous experience with a commercial shoot and didn’t believe the assistant director’s claim that it would only take about two hours. She grew anxious, realizing it would likely take much longer.
“It’s Shin Young Joo.”
Finally, the female lead, Shin Young Joo, entered the shooting location. She looked beautiful from afar in Bali, but up close, she truly radiated.
As Shin Young Joo appeared, the set began to bustle. Seo Yoon crouched and stood at the very back of the group.
‘I’m appearing in a drama.’
The current situation was so surreal that Seo Yoon couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh.
“Cut! Let’s see your face in the back there.”
It was the director. Seo Yoon didn’t think he was calling her, so she kept her head down. Then the assistant director she had seen earlier cautiously approached her.
“Um, the director wants to see your face. Please stand in the front.”
The assistant director said without making proper eye contact with Seo Yoon.
“I said I shouldn’t show my face.”
Seo Yoon whispered reproachfully at the assistant director, giving him a resentful look. Somehow, she thought her costume and makeup stood out more than the other actors.
Then it happened.
Kang Hyun was entering the shooting location. He was wearing a black jacket that she had hastily given him. Seo Yoon was so surprised that she covered her open mouth with her hand.
‘Why so early?’
The director, distracted by Kang Hyun’s entrance, withdrew his gaze from Seo Yoon and the set was momentarily chaotic. Seo Yoon tried to make herself as small as possible.
‘What should I do?’
Seo Yoon was pacing nervously.
‘I shouldn’t have agreed to this.’
Seo Yoon lightly banged her head.
Kang Hyun was busy talking with the director and Shin Young Joo. The two standing side by side were indeed radiant. They had turned the dark shooting location into a photoshoot set in an instant.
“Cha Kang Hyun is really handsome.”
The eyes of all the extras were fixed on Kang Hyun.
“People said he’s amazing in real life. It’s no joke.”
“You can really see his aura.”
Wearing a faded black jacket and with disheveled hair, Kang Hyun shone brightly on the set, just as the girls said.
Being on the set made his presence felt even more strongly. Everyone listened attentively to his voice and focused on his every move.
With his appearance, the set felt more lively than before.
Once the discussion was over, Shin Young Joo approached them. When Shin Young Joo confronted the culprit, they were shivering in a corner; it was a scene where they died under a collapsed house.
“Cut! Good job!”
The director signaled cut. Then the next filming proceeded tightly. Shin Young Joo had another schedule, so the filming had to proceed quickly.
“Over there, show your face.”
Once again, the director called for Seo Yoon. He had noticed her while watching the monitor, she was indeed eyecatching.
‘I’ll get a closeup. But why is she covering her face like that?’
“Hey, show your face!”
Eventually, the director yelled. Seo Yoon had no choice but to slowly lift her head.
‘He won’t recognize me. I can’t even recognize myself.’
Seo Yoon lifted her face, giving herself a calming mantra. Then she met Kang Hyun’s eyes straight on.
Kang Hyun’s eyes looking at her showed no signs of disturbance.
‘Did he recognize me? It seems like he didn’t…’
She had no idea whether he recognized her or not.
At that moment, he opened his mouth with a blank expression. Though his lips moved silently, the meaning contained in the shape of his lips was clear.
‘What are you doing here?’
He had recognized her.

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.”
