I Have A Terminally Ill Duke As My Husband (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 97
Potato soup.
Olivia knew it was the food Luan liked best and ate well, but in truth, potato soup was actually the food Luan despised most in the world.
When both the Duke and Duchess died in an accident, Luan was only five years old.
Even now, he couldn’t recall at all what kind of people his parents were, what they looked like, or how much they had loved him.
He only knew from their portraits hanging in the ducal mansion that his parents must have looked like that, and from the occasional stories Olivia told him, that they had loved him deeply……
All he remembered was that his mother, Elencia Canoluph, couldn’t cook anything at all, and the only dish she could ever make was potato soup.
And even that was horribly tasteless potato soup……
It wasn’t seasoned at all, and the mysterious soup even carried a fishy smell—but his father, Reynold, ate it as though there were no soup in the world more delicious, which young Luan couldn’t understand at the time.
After hearing the news of his parents’ accident, Luan went several days barely eating anything, completely without appetite—until Olivia asked him if there was anything he wanted to eat. At that moment, the only thing that came to mind was the potato soup Elencia used to make.
“Potato soup…… I want to eat potato soup.”
Olivia prepared potato soup for Luan, and he scraped the bowl clean while eating it.
The funny thing was, Olivia’s potato soup was truly delicious—uncomparably better than Elencia’s.
For the first time, Luan realized that potato soup could be this savory and delicious—but he missed Elencia’s bland, fishy-tasting soup so deeply that he cried for a long while.
Olivia mistakenly assumed that the reason Luan cried was because her soup tasted just like Elencia’s, so for a while, she kept making potato soup for him.
Luan couldn’t bring himself to tell Olivia—whose eyes filled with tears as she joyfully watched him eat—that the soup didn’t taste anything like what he remembered.

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.”
