I Became the Villain's Sister (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
Including a pink diamond was nothing short of flaunting one’s wealth.
Isabella had always loved shopping, so she knew better than anyone just how precious this was—after all, jewels were her absolute favorite.
That made me wonder if it had been deliberately included. Even if others didn’t realize its value, Isabella certainly would.
‘Besides, specifically addressing the gift as “for Lady Isabella” to congratulate me on becoming Empress…’
It clearly meant someone deeply resented my ascension to this position. And there could only be one such person.
Rodelo’s birth mother.
She must despise seeing me in this role. I was the unexpected variable—the very existence that should never have arisen.
She probably intended to reveal herself only at the very last moment.
‘In the original novel, there’d have been no need for that. After all, no one had placed Rian on the throne of Empress.’
But things were different now.
‘That woman still seems to believe Leandro loves her.’
Melodin’s words—that the Emperor had used me to allow his beloved woman to step into the light—might not have been mere rumor. Perhaps the woman truly believed it and spread it herself.
‘Well, considering how deeply she loved him, it makes sense she’d even drink poison. Knowing full well, yet drinking it again and again—perhaps that really was true love. Ah… I see now.’
Everything finally made sense.
Why Rodelo’s mother was so utterly convinced this position belonged to her.

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.”
