49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Seon An stared at me with a momentarily vacant expression before asking,
“Is it really true?”
“It really is.”
As soon as I answered immediately, Seon An instantly grew excited and cried out,
“What? Then you should go straight to Her Highness the Ninth Hwang Nyeo, offer your apologies, express your gratitude, pay your respects, and propose marriage right away! Why would you need my help? Are you worried it’ll be a problem that you got her with child before even marrying?”
“There is no child!”
“But isn’t there already an engagement discussion going on with another Hwang Ja? Without even the excuse of a child, how could you possibly marry Her Highness the Ninth Hwang Nyeo?”
Why does this conversation keep spinning in circles?
“I have no intention of marrying Her Highness the Ninth Hwang Nyeo. And with the engagement arranged by His Majesty looming, I certainly don’t want to be falsely accused of causing a scandal with Her Highness, the daughter of Her Majesty the Hwang Hu. His Majesty was so furious upon hearing the rumor that he picked up an inkstone and threw it at my head!”
“An inkstone?!”
“A paperweight. But paperweights are heavy too, aren’t they?”
Seon An stared at me blankly for a moment, then returned to his earlier point and asked again,
“But if you can’t marry the Ninth Hwang Nyeo, you’ll marry the Hwang Ja instead, right? Is that acceptable? You’re a man—how is that even possible?”
Does he think anyone actually wants this? It’s only like this because I’m a woman disguised as a man!
Marrying the Thirteenth Hwang Ja would be a huge ordeal, and marrying the Ninth Hwang Nyeo would be just as disastrous—but at least with the Thirteenth Hwang Ja, the Emperor and Empress already know I’m a woman and are pushing the match themselves, so that part isn’t problematic.
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.”
