An Incomplete Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
Edgar pulled a revolver from the holster attached to his belt.
The light from the overhead lamp slid coldly across the sleek barrel.
The metallic click of the cylinder rotating echoed eerily through the quiet study.
After checking the chamber, Edgar shoved the revolver back into its holster.
Gerald, who had silently watched the entire sequence, finally forced out a few words.
“Young master.”
“Yes, Gerald.”
Edgar turned toward Gerald, who had called out but remained silent. Only after their eyes met did Gerald carefully broach the main issue.
“This method… doesn’t seem right.”
“I know.”
Surprisingly, Edgar readily agreed.
“Then why…”
“I just want to hold onto it, even this way.”
Edgar’s calm gaze drifted toward a framed photograph.
In the picture, the woman smiled at him alone, unchanged and serene—the most beautiful and radiant moment of his life.
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.”

He had hoped she’d cling to him. He had wished she’d beg. Had she done so, he mi
You can forget that, Olivia ain’t begging no man. Your gonna have to grovel to make her forgive for putting her through this again.
‘That’s not what matters, Johann. What matters is that she’ll come to hate you.’
Edgar is so petty, it’s crazy. I don’t think he was ever really likable. more like someone to make Olivia forget Johann.
“…are you running away? What have I done?”
Is he joking? incredible!
