I Had the Enemy's Baby (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 197
“…Because she said being beside me was unhappiness.”
Madame Cronac was at her wit’s end.
How could a man be so utterly clueless about a woman’s heart? It was utterly exasperating.
High-ranking nobles invariably entered into arranged marriages as political alliances.
The stability such marital alliances provided was far too valuable to squander on mere matters of the heart.
Moreover, marriage was a union between families. Even if two people fell deeply in love, if their houses were of mismatched standing, their relationship would often be reduced to a fleeting affair before each was bound to someone chosen by their respective heads of house.
Thus, it was hardly surprising that household heads never demanded rhetorical skill or romantic aptitude in their heirs’ upbringing.
It had been a devastating first love.
Perhaps everything had begun to unravel the moment Kai An took Clodel—sent from a rival house as a mere political pawn—and earnestly welcomed her into his heart.
“That’s why it couldn’t have been sincere.”
“Would anyone risk their life over something insincere?”
“When angry, people say all sorts of things.”
Kai An’s role here was absolutely crucial, yet his current attitude made matters difficult. If she failed to convince him, rescuing Clodel from the castle would remain an impossible dream.
‘Valkyter is absolutely out of the question.’
On this point, Kai An and she were in direct opposition.

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.”
