Can an Enemy Become Salvation? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
The nobles, as if they had been waiting for this moment, all hurried to vent their grievances against Ivenel.
“What on earth is this? That woman has ruined everything.”
“She should’ve just stayed quiet and dealt with monsters discreetly when the time came—why did she have to overstep and meddle in this matter?”
“She’s already been grating on my nerves since last time. Are you really going to let this slide?”
“Of course not.”
Hallan had previously thought that if she merely existed as someone useful for handling monsters, he could tolerate it. But whether intentional or not, the fact that she dared to use it to shake him had completely erased any reason to keep her around.
However, a few others expressed concern.
“This won’t be easy. We don’t have a solid justification to remove her, and Duke Feldin seemed notably friendly toward her.”
“Moreover, His Majesty appears to be subtly protecting her. Didn’t he step forward publicly at the last banquet to assist her?”
Hallan, too, found that part deeply puzzling. Feldin’s stance was understandable, but Suhel’s reaction was the most incomprehensible.
He had assumed without question that Ivenel was merely a tool to be used, but after recent events, a seed of doubt had sprouted—perhaps that wasn’t the case after all.
Though nothing about that cold-hearted emperor’s true intentions could yet be confirmed with certainty.
“If we can’t kill her, then we’ll humiliate her until she’s driven away.”
“Do you have a method in mind?”
“Yes. There are others besides us who desperately desire that woman.”

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.”
