I Decided to Let You Go (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
After returning from the evening banquet, Jenkins suggested promptly sending letters to the nobles who wished to cooperate and attend the Harvest Festival, claiming he had finished his review.
Right after the banquet ended, Natasha locked herself in her office, drew up a list, and began drafting letters to send to them.
Since the main event was to be held in just three weeks, she had no choice but to ask for their understanding. With such a tight schedule, she couldn’t visit them in person, so she had to fill an entire letter with nothing but greetings.
The sheer volume was staggering! Her hand already ached as if numb, yet half the letters still remained unwritten.
Natasha stretched her interlaced fingers straight out in front of her. She gently massaged her wrist and the back of her hand, soothing the sore spots. This was enough to restore her ability to write once more.
‘It feels like I’ve prepared this hastily before…’
She recalled last year, when after being bedridden for several days, she’d frantically thrown a banquet. Back then, too, everything had been rushed.
‘Well, if this is how things turned out, it’s fine.’
When she learned everything about Kayena through the Emperor—
and right after that, when she spent the anniversary of Zieghart’s and her parents’ passing with her family—
Natasha’s mind had become so tainted it could hardly be called that of a living person. Though she went through the motions of daily life, she didn’t feel truly alive.
Yes, better to empty her mind entirely. Keep her body busy.
The woman who fled from misfortune assumed the role of a duchess. Surprisingly, her heart grew calm.
Ever since observing the anniversary of Zieghart’s and her parents’ passing, the haunting voices that tormented her had vanished. Thanks to this, she finally found the courage to resume ordinary life.
Occasionally, inexplicable feelings toward Zieghart and a sense of betrayal toward Kayena would surge up inside 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.”
If it is of material value, it is very expensive. Its moral value is much more expensive than that. 💎
Pre-storm calm. Kyle is definitely planning something big.
He definitely remembers his previous life. But how much does he remember? Does he remember Natasha dying multiple times or just in Douglas Forest?!
