Can an Enemy Become Salvation? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 172
Morning dawned, and Chen, having awakened despite returning home after a long absence, wore a face that was far from refreshed—perhaps because he hadn’t slept well.
It was all because of the conversation he’d had with Ivenel the previous night.
“Ah, I shouldn’t have gone over and sat beside her back then.”
She was someone he wouldn’t have faced directly if not for Shane, yet for some reason, she nagged at him like a splinter stuck in his throat.
Perhaps it was because of her deeply bitter expression.
Stepping quietly into the living room, Chen opened the door and walked into the yard to clear his head—only to freeze in place upon spotting a figure standing there.
Ivenel, now dressed in her own clothes, stood with a gun aimed ahead.
Her posture and gaze were utterly steady, as if a target lay right before her eyes, without the slightest tremor. The atmosphere she exuded was so completely different from yesterday that it was hard to believe she was the same person.
At that moment, Ivenel noticed Chen and lowered her gun. Simultaneously, the overwhelming aura surrounding her vanished instantly.
“Are you awake?”
“Yeah… well…”
Unlike Chen, who felt awkward over their conversation from the night before, Ivenel greeted him with a smile as if nothing had happened.
“I’ve washed and hung out to dry the clothes and the cloth you lent me for cleaning the gun.”
Following her gesture, Chen saw damp garments and fabric hanging on the clothesline in the yard.
“Were you practicing just now?”

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.”
