He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
Laila, unsure what to do, fidgeted anxiously before answering from a spot away from the door—trying to sound as if she were speaking from as far away as possible.
“His Highness has instructed you to enter.”
At this point, Rilvan would have sensed something odd.
Yet he showed no particular reaction. In fact, he spoke with a faint sigh mixed in.
“…Let us first draw the curtains around the bed.”
Laila went to the front of the bed and deliberately made a loud noise as she pulled the curtains shut. Immediately afterward, she heard Rilvan instructing the attendants to withdraw, followed by the sound of him entering alone through the door.
Even upon spotting Laila standing beside the bed, Rilvan remained silent. With a stern expression, he stepped forward, pushed aside the bed curtains to check inside, and only then murmured quietly,
“He still hasn’t arrived.”
“No—surely nothing has happened to him? It’s already dawn. He promised to return before morning broke. Could he have been discovered…?”
“Wait, please calm down. There’s been no word yet from the Imperial Palace. If he’d been discovered, we would have heard something by now.”
“I see.”
Relieved that the silence was actually a good sign for now, Laila let out a sigh.
But then his next words made her heart skip again.
“Even if he were discovered, as long as I don’t release your abilities, it won’t be revealed that he’s the Crown Prince. At most, they’d only learn there’s a spy inside. And if that happens…”
Laila held her breath, anticipating exactly what Rilvan would say next.

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.”
