Captured into the Bedroom of the Enemy Emperor (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 97
Chris knelt before the Emperor, holding the sword with both hands and bowing his head in proper reverence.
“I receive the sword of Herperos, His Imperial Majesty.”
The head steward sat before a bronze basin filled with water and whetstones, ready to draw out every last bubble of air.
Shhhhk.
He grasped the hilt and drew the blade from its scabbard.
At the pommel’s end, the gilded metal bore the darkly etched name “Kazan.” The bastard sword—gilded even along its crossguard—measured 150 centimeters in length, three in width, and weighed three kilograms; merely drawing it from its sheath while kneeling felt overwhelming.
Chris poured water onto the whetstone and laid the blade at the correct angle.
With his left hand gripping the hilt, he pressed the strongest part of the blade against the wet stone.
Shhhhhk… shhk.
He pushed the edge forward, then pulled it sharply back. On this day, the blood and grease of thousands upon thousands of soldiers once cut by this blade seemed to flow anew. Remembering the blood and screams ground into the honed steel sent chills down Chris’s arms.
He poured more water over the whetstone and repeatedly sharpened the blade, moving from its midpoint to the tip and finally the sharp point.
“The Emperor has taken countless lives through his ambition for conquest. He scattered blood with his sword.”
Chris recalled Patrick’s low voice.
“Chris, do you truly admire and respect the Emperor, or do you merely fear him?”
“His Imperial Majesty deserves reverence simply by existing.”

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.”
