Created a Reverse Harem in a Doomed World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Now that I’d given my permission, a party was held under the steward and head maid’s direction to celebrate our first victory over the zombies.
Though initially intended as a modest gathering, the party had grown grand by the end, and combined with dinner, it was quite boisterous.
“To the victory of Keaton Manor!”
“To victory!”
If the zombie apocalypse hadn’t erupted, nobles with invitations would have gathered in the hall to elegantly waltz, but here only my servants and I remained, so at least the formalities were kept simple.
‘This feels just like an office dinner party.’
Around the long dining table set in the banquet hall, the manor’s servants clustered together, gulping down beer. Besides beer, fine liquors like wine and champagne—previously stacked high in the manor—were also plentifully visible.
“Are we really allowed to drink this?”
“Ha ha! My good fellow! His Grace the Duke gave us permission to eat and drink as we please—no need to worry!”
“Good heavens! When would we ever get to taste such fine liquor?”
The servants, who had hesitated before these expensive drinks, gained courage upon hearing I’d granted permission and boldly poured themselves generous servings.
‘Anyway, alcohol isn’t exactly essential for survival.’
Only spirits with an alcohol content exceeding 70 proof could serve as disinfectant.
Yet even those weren’t recommended due to concerns about bacterial contamination, so aside from keeping a small amount of truly potent liquor—strong enough to knock out a bear—I’d released everything else for this party.
Most servants attending the party were in high spirits, enjoying both food and drink.

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.”
