49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 172
A sweet candy scent wafted strongly from Hwa Ryeo as he returned to Cheongeumsu Hwa.
Seeing his grown lord approach smelling of candy, Yu Gajoo couldn’t help but smile.
“Just now, I heard you bought candy for my grandson.”
Teasing Hwa Ryeo, he pulled a tightly folded paper from his chest and held it out.
“Yo I Guk Sa asked me to be sure to deliver this to Your Highness.”
At the mention of Yo I Guk Sa, Hwa Ryeo paused mid-motion while removing his outer robe—but only for a moment. He resumed undressing without taking the note Yu Gajoo offered.
“Your Highness?”
Puzzled, Yu Gajoo called out to Hwa Ryeo again.
“Just leave it.”
Hwa Ryeo instructed indifferently.
Following orders, Yu Gajoo placed the note on the desk and quietly added,
“She seemed quite urgent.”
Regardless, Hwa Ryeo didn’t even glance toward the desk and walked straight to his bed.
A maidservant entered, offering a steaming bowl of medicinal decoction. Though his body had recovered significantly, Cho Gam had repeatedly stressed that Hwa Ryeo must drink every last drop.
After returning the empty bowl to the maidservant, Hwa Ryeo rinsed his mouth and lay down on the bed. Even then, he paid no attention to the desk.
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.”
This girl can’t learn anything from her previous mistakes 🙄
Probably the Empress would be really upset saviour doing the dirty job in this situation 😅
Sadly, it is indeed the safest choice. Though having the happiness so close and let is slip – this could be really painful (
