How To Get Revenge On My Sister Who Stole My Husband (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
“While the victim’s heart slowly ceased to beat, a significant change also began to manifest upon the witch’s body. To put it simply, a ‘trace’ of the drained power would remain. If I may hazard a guess, that maid will bear an indelible mark upon her body.”
“What is this mark, exactly?”
The Emperor asked impatiently. Emlyn fixed him with a meaningful gaze before replying.
“Examine the inside of that maid’s arm. You will surely discover something quite extraordinary.”
The Emperor immediately turned to the Chamberlain.
“Chamberlain, roll up that maid’s dress sleeve at once.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The Chamberlain replied firmly. At his signal, the standing attendants seized Belladonna the maid by her arms and legs as if binding her. Belladonna shrieked and struggled fiercely, but could not escape the attendants’ strong grips. The Chamberlain glared at her with contempt, drew the short blade at his waist, and tore open the sleeve of her dress.
Revealed was her arm, densely inscribed with small emerald-green characters. At a glance, the script resembled an exquisite tattoo—but amid those markings, the Chamberlain recognized a familiar name: Elliott Francis Haven. It was the Duke’s name. The Chamberlain cried out in astonishment.
“The name of Duke Haven is inscribed here!”
“What did you say?”
The Emperor shot to his feet and shouted back. Emlyn turned toward them and spoke again.
“Since she dared to sever a life that, by divine providence, was meant to continue, the Goddess would never stand idly by. That tattoo is the mark of sin the Goddess brands upon those who dare defy the great natural order. It is also Her warning—never to forget, for the rest of her days, the name of the one she attempted to kill by her own hand.”
“…Hah.”
“Had the Duke perished as planned, that maid likely intended to magically conceal his name perfectly and feign innocence. In the worst case, she might even have resolved to cut off her own arm—after all, a witch needs only one arm to wield her magic.”

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.”
