Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
For the past few days, Helena had been noticeably acting unnaturally. Unable to flee into his life, she instead chose to flee from him day after day.
At the mere glint of silver from afar, she would instantly turn her back. She’d hurriedly duck into whatever spot her feet landed near to hide. Naturally, she avoided his quarters entirely, minimizing even accidental encounters.
Even if they happened to cross paths, she remained distant and aloof, as if they’d just met for the first time. More often than not, she’d exchange only a few formal greetings before quickly excusing herself.
She deliberately changed her mealtimes as well. Ian, who had reliably occupied the seat beside her until now, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Sakin or Lily alternated sitting with her, occasionally offering conversation.
To anyone unaware of the circumstances, Ian’s presence had become as volatile as a live landmine for Helena.
“Huh!”
Today again, the moment Helena spotted silver hair outside the window, she instantly crouched down. She’d just finished her work and was about to leave, but staying a bit longer wouldn’t hurt.
“Hurry up and pass by….”
Helena timidly peeked over the windowsill. Ian appeared headed toward the training yard. Since Sakin had left early for town that morning, it seemed he intended to spar with Flam.
Lately, Flam had been complaining he was exhausted to death. Ian must have been keeping him tied up often, with plenty to settle.
“Is he angry with me?”
Helena slid back down under the windowsill and leaned against the wall. She was just about to be swept away helplessly by a wave of gloom when a loud voice suddenly erupted from the corridor behind her.
“I already told you no, Lily! Why won’t you ever listen?”
“But you clearly promised you’d take me once my birthday passed!”
“I told you—it’s still too dangerous for you!”
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.”
