49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
I’ve gone mad—I really have! My statement just now isn’t merely rejecting the Taewol envoy; it could be seen as defying the Emperor himself. And yet I went ahead and spoke up!
“So you must be the Yi Guk Sa. What exactly is the problem?”
The Taewol envoy turned toward me immediately, wearing a satisfied smile as if he’d hooked his fish.
Damn it! It would’ve been best to stay hidden and let the Emperor handle this. Instead, I’ve gone and shown my face!
I glanced subtly toward Princess Bumun. Both the Taewol delegation and the princess looked pleased that I’d stepped forward.
“Could it be that you dislike becoming His Majesty’s consort? That would be truly disrespectful. Isn’t receiving the Emperor’s favor the greatest honor in the world?”
Then why don’t you become a consort yourself? The Taewol envoy deliberately twisted the matter between Princess Bumun and me into one between the Emperor and me.
“Truly disrespectful, isn’t it?”
The Taewol envoy even went so far as to glance toward the Emperor, as if implying he stood on the same side as His Majesty.
I stole a quick look at the Emperor. He didn’t seem pleased either.
At this point, there was no more avoiding it.
“Thirteenth Prince Jeonha and I are already betrothed. It is only thanks to His Majesty’s grace that we were able to come together.”
I had no choice but to respond.
“But if Princess Bumun were to marry the Thirteenth Prince, it would actually break the very grace His Majesty has bestowed.”
I pulled Bumun back into the matter and laid her actions bare before the envoy.
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.”
