How the Abandoned Queen Made That Man Kneel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
When Parnes Escalo returned after briefly stepping away, his face carried a somehow different atmosphere from when he had risen from his chair earlier.
It was a cold chill that was difficult to describe in words.
Kasallin picked out kidney beans from her salad while secretly observing his expression.
“Did something happen?”
“Don’t be picky with your food.”
“……”
The kidney bean dropped from the tip of her fork and rolled between the lettuce leaves.
Kasallin silently pushed the salad bowl away and pretended not to care by drinking her beverage, avoiding his sharp gaze.
Then he let out a deflated laugh.
“You really are something.”
“Why, why?”
“When you’re among people, you seem like a proper adult, but when no one’s watching like this, you show surprisingly childish sides.”
As he said this, he carefully surveyed the dining table where the overall amount of food had clearly decreased.
“While you’ve completely devoured the meat, eggs, mousse cake, and fruits without a trace, you’ve barely touched the vegetables. Your parents must have had quite a hard time raising you.”
“I’m, I’m full, that’s why. And I was a very good daughter.”
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 get she has been betrayed over and over again. However, this is the same man who left you while you were still injured? Why hold out a single hope for him. Not only that he screwed your sister and made you watch? How could you even be surprised at this point. This woman is exhausting most of the time.
Mann..that is beyond twisted. She will jump off just for attention😒
Just when I thought I can’t any madder than the previous chapter..here we are.
