An Incomplete Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 172
Even with the silver revolver’s muzzle pointed at her, Clara did not lose her characteristic composure.
After brushing the snow from her slightly askew hat to tidy herself, she finally met Olivia’s gaze directly.
“I asked where Anne is, Clara.”
“This is the spot with the best view—your bedroom.”
With a smile of perfect grace, Clara lifted the corners of her lips once more.
“If you kill me here, your maid dies instantly. If you take me hostage, that maid still dies. As I said—her fate rests entirely in your hands.”
Her hand, gripping the pistol, went limp with helplessness.
Was fate truly inescapable? Was she really destined to die right here, right now?
Olivia stared blankly at Clara from where she stood.
“…How can I possibly believe you’ll spare Anne?”
“Who better than that maid to serve as a witness to attest that you committed suicide?”
“I misjudged you.”
“Don’t worry. Everyone has a weakness—even that maid. Say… her only living relative: her mother.”
It seemed she intended to seize and threaten Anne’s mother.
Poor Anne.
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.”
I really like og Olivia, it was nice how we still get to meet her a little bit
I hope Olivia can manage to jump in the lake to switch bodies again. I’m happy she found love with that senior even when Johann almost broke her she picked herself up again and found the love she always wanted. Though it must hurt to watch him be kind while he was awful to her. She has senior now.
The conversation between Olivia and Johann was beautiful. Their final goodbye.
