Captured by the Desert Tyrant (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
“Aris!”
Tarek, having regained his balance first, grabbed Aris’s waist as she stumbled and wrapped his arms around her belly.
Amid the chaos, the Imperials kept chattering in their incomprehensible Imperial tongue, tears streaming down their faces.
Aris could only stare at them with a blank, startled expression. After all, Brenda beside her had been the only Imperial she’d seen here—no wonder she was shocked.
The royal guards managing the procession hurriedly rushed out, trying to calm the elephant and pull the Imperials down.
“Move aside! What are you lowly wretches doing in front of His Highness?!”
“Drag them off!”
Beaten and helpless, the Imperials were dragged away, sobbing as they knelt before Aris in desperate plea.
Aris nervously shifted her gaze. All around her were desert folk, and she had only just begun dreaming of securing a noble status by winning over Tarek.
She realized that defending the Imperials now would incur the resentment of Tarek’s supporters—and that would mean losing her chance to become queen.
‘After all I’ve done to seize this opportunity…! Now these useless fools, who never helped the Empire anyway, dare block my path!’
Aris’s face twisted with venom. She shouted furiously in the desert tongue,
“Stand aside! Do you even know who we are to dare block our way?! Drag these people off at once!”
Furious to the tips of his hair, Tarek also yelled at his guards,
“Guards! Get rid of those beggars immediately!”

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.”
