How To Choose A Knight (28 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
“There are plenty of other things. Those prominent brow ridges, that high nose bridge, that handsome jawline….”
As Blake rattled off Axel’s admirable features one by one, Velita shouted at them.
“That’s not it! There’s chaos outside—what on earth have you two been doing in here? Oh, right—you said it hurt. That does make sense, actually. After all, Sir Leon ordered no one to enter so you could rest properly….”
“Velita, shouldn’t you explain first? I can’t even tell what kind of answer you’re expecting.”
“I only just woke up,” Jade grumbled, and Velita hurried to the bedside, speaking quietly yet rapidly.
“There’s a knight who can draw out sword energy!”
Jade and Blake both widened their eyes and shouted in unison.
“Who?”
“What?”
Velita looked utterly exasperated.
“Sir Leon! Leon Baintz—your temporary partner, Jade!”
Jade’s jaw dropped open.

Velita talked nonstop for a long while.
Apparently, this whole story had started from the mouth of a certain young knight.
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.”
Especially since he is strong even without you. But also isn’t there something in your secret constitution? Maybe Jade will grow even stronger~
