I Decline the Ex-Boyfriend of the Regretful Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
“Since we’re only a contracted couple, we never asked each other about personal matters—just as Hertian never asked me why I avoid Serdis.”
I excused myself, pretending I’d merely upheld the bare minimum of courtesy toward each other.
But as soon as the words left my mouth, I felt both embarrassed and slightly wronged.
After all, Hertian rarely asked me anything either. He knew an awful lot about what I never asked him—my food preferences, for instance, or my taste in clothing.
Still, I couldn’t really complain.
‘Mother or Father must’ve told him every last detail, no doubt.’
I stopped biting my lip and sighed. Hertian then spoke in an even gentler voice.
“I wish you’d be curious about me, my lady. Very much so.”
His tone sounded oddly pleading, and I let out a small, derisive snort.
“So you’ll actually answer if I ask?”
He smiled along with me and gave a slight nod. Watching him, I finally voiced the question that had long been on my mind.
“Can you tell me which academy Hertian attended?”
I might look easygoing, but I’m the type who holds grudges.
I wanted to know the secret Eleanor and he shared between just the two of them.
It didn’t matter which academy he’d gone to—after all, it was certain that Hertian and I had no common ground there, no matter the school.
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.”
Wow, are prophetesses so common in this world that there are multiple renowned ones?
