Fearlessly (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Loren approached right up to the short, densely planted orange trees beneath the open window and tilted his head slightly as he asked,
“Do you like it?”
Bercheria answered without tearing her eyes away from the pretty green lizard.
“No.”
Loren smiled lightly and held out the lizard, Aul, closer to her.
“Would you like to touch it?”
Where Lakrahan’s voice was very low and soft, this man’s voice carried a freshness brimming with healthy, bright energy.
“No, thank you. I’m fine.”
As she spoke, Bercheria unknowingly reached her arm out the window.
The lizard flicked out its long tongue and wiggled its tiny arms, fluttering its legs as if eager to go to Bercheria.
‘It’s so cute it hurts my heart.’
Though Bercheria had never in her life found anything adorable, she kept getting strangely drawn to the lizard.
“Oh.”
As Bercheria reached toward the lizard, the red-haired man subtly widened the distance between them, bit by bit.
Already captivated by its cuteness, Bercheria kept shifting her weight forward without even realizing her body was leaning out the window.
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.”
I have a inkling that Lione is probably Berche’s ‘Mother’?
