An Incomplete Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 147
The young maid slowly wrapped her trembling hands around the teacup. Her lips, which lifted the cup to her mouth, also quivered.
Olivia watched the scene calmly.
More precisely, she was watching the maid’s hands—hands even more delicate than Anne’s. The fingertips and palms she had once grasped and touched were perfectly smooth, without a single callus.
For a moment, silence drifted through the pale light filtering past the large window.
Yes. She won’t be able to drink it.
Just as Olivia concluded that her chilling premonition had been correct, the young maid raised her eyes from the teacup and locked gazes with her.
“Th-thank you, Madam. I’ll drink it well.”
The maid, whose lips had been trembling, defiantly stared straight at Olivia as she tipped the cup.
“…….”
The sound of tea flowing down her throat seeped into the stillness. Olivia stared at the maid with dazed eyes.
For some reason, it felt as though she’d just been slapped hard on the back of the head.
“Daisy.”
Olivia called out the young maid’s name.
The maid, who had been gulping down the tea as if to empty it in one go, froze mid-motion and stared at her blankly.
Either there was no poison in it… or only a tiny amount, enough to cause slow poisoning… or perhaps I really am being overly sensitive.
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!
