A Fallen Holy Knight Is Obsessed With Me (12 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
The tower was always silent.
Kasha had never been talkative to begin with, but ever since she fled to the tower, she’d had no reason at all to open her mouth.
‘When will Simon come?’
Whenever the silence grew unbearably heavy, she deliberately spoke those words aloud.
Just hearing her own voice offered her a little comfort.
‘He came… three days ago, so probably… in about a week.’
When she grew tired of asking and answering herself, she opened the small window of the tower and gazed endlessly outside.
Whoosh.
The wind blowing in from the horizon carried countless scents and stories.
On days when the wind bore the cold scent of winter, it seemed to carry traces of her homeland, and she would lean far out the window, savoring the breeze for a long while.
Pop. Splash. Boom.
That night was special. Hearing faint, ethereal sounds, she looked out the window to see tiny, fingernail-sized sparks embroidering the night sky of the distant capital.
Red, blue, and golden magical fireworks.
‘Oh… it must be Founding Day.’
She murmured weakly.
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.”
It’s cute that he is taking care of her, also confused what to do next.
The father is very disappointing. I wondered if he had married his wife out of obligation, as she was a saintess, and now that she is gone, he is going down a spiral.
This chapter was just frustrating, only enemies trying to scheme against our couple
