Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Today again, the man ripped the door off its hinges and walked out of the inn.
After watching this eccentric behavior for several days, Helena had nearly forgotten how to open a door normally.
‘I’ve gotten used to it.’
With a feeling she disliked, she continued staying with a man she disliked.
Each day felt monotonously similar: eat, wander, eat, sightsee.
As usual, they roamed the streets, but today she returned early, feeling a bit tired.
For some reason, he left the doorknob intact this time.
Helena opened her mouth to say something but gave up. The afternoon sun was warm, and drowsiness came easily.
She eventually dozed off and only opened her eyes again when the room had grown slightly dim.
She was certain she’d fallen asleep sitting by the window, gazing outside. Yet now soft sheets and a pillow cradled the back of her head.
‘…It’s too quiet.’
Why? She closed her eyes again, then opened them. Something felt off.
Helena sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes, and finally realized why.
He wasn’t beside her.
Had he let his guard down because she was asleep, or had he finally given up on her this time?
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.”
