Blackening the Affectionate Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
It would take at least two days of riding to reach the Orleans territory. I had planned to stop at a village midway to find lodging, but thanks to my aunt’s prior arrangements, I didn’t need to stay at an inn.
In the village of Naintree, located a short distance from the capital, stood a house sponsored by House Rubernus. Thanks to their generous hospitality, Whitney now stood before Miss Serain’s mansion.
Though situated away from the capital, the mansion was beautifully maintained. Its garden was meticulously cared for, brimming with freshness. Whitney stepped down from the carriage and carefully approached the door to knock.
“Just a moment…!”
A cheerful voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps. Soon, the door opened to reveal a girl with reddish-brown hair. Her translucent silver eyes sparkled as she beamed and caught her breath.
“Welcome! You must be Duke Orleans, right? Lady Rubernus told me you’d be coming.”
She straightened her posture and bowed politely.
“My name is Serain Emmet. Please feel free to call me Rain.”
“Thank you for welcoming me so warmly. I’m Whitney Orleans. I’m truly indebted to you.”
She was an endearing girl with a sweet, constant smile. Looking at the cat lounging inside the mansion, she cupped both cheeks in her hands.
“Seriously! I told you not to come in when we have guests! Lili! Come here!”
The cat named Lili ignored Rain completely, too busy grooming herself. Though her ears perked up attentively, she sat smugly on a high perch, lifting a leg to mock Rain with a playful flick.
“That cat is really…!”
“It’s fine—just leave her be. I’m not allergic, so don’t worry about it. Was she usually allowed inside like this?”
“Hmm… Well, yes, but… her fur sheds a lot, so it might be bothersome for you.”

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.”
