I Have A Terminally Ill Duke As My Husband (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
This man is really the type who’d cut off an arm or leg without batting an eye just to take me away.
First of all, I need to buy some time. Hmm?
Mercian glanced around the shop, then looked at Hugo with a puzzled expression for a moment before forcing her voice to sound calm.
“Hey. Even if we left right this instant, it would still take at least three days to get from here to the capital. By then, the trial would have already started, wouldn’t it? Wouldn’t it be hard to save your master under those circumstances? And besides, if we just walk out like this in broad daylight, people will call the guards. Do you really think you can take me to the capital like this?”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already prepared a carriage outside—once we step out, I’ll just put you in it. So stop thinking useless thoughts!”
There’s a carriage waiting outside?
What? So this guy planned to abduct me right from the moment he came into the shop.
Sigh… Can I really pull this off?
“Wait a moment. I’ll go with you, so please put that knife away.”
At Mercian’s words, Hugo pressed the blade even deeper against her throat, as if telling her not to spout nonsense.
Ugh.
Though pain surged through her again and fear threatened to overwhelm her, Mercian steadied her breathing, focused all her strength into her left foot, and stomped on his foot with all her might.
Startled by Mercian’s sudden move, Hugo dropped his sword. Seizing the moment, Mercian struck his solar plexus with her elbow as hard as she could and broke free from his grasp.
While Hugo’s attention shifted toward Zelda and Mercian, Cat, who had stealthily moved behind him, swung a broom and smashed it hard against the back of his neck.
“Ugh!”

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.”
