I Held the Leash of a Blind Beast (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
“They say His Grace has opened his eyes.”
“Oh. Thank goodness. That’s truly wonderful.”
Rona clasped her hands tightly together and was briefly overcome with emotion.
“How did you find out?”
“His Grace has recovered his health. He’ll probably return to society or politics soon. They say the ducal residence is hiring many new staff.”
“My friend also wants to move to the ducal residence because her current employer is so difficult. After all, the wages there are higher,” Loriet added.
“But how did you, miss, who stayed only at Hadyunsha, come to know about this?”
Loriet, who had just turned seventeen, was still a maid with an innocent streak. Among the seemingly capable maids, Rona had chosen the relatively younger Loriet. Everyone had wanted to serve Miss Elicia, so when she herself was chosen, she made a fuss about how lucky and honored she was. In short, Elicia—the mysterious young lady—was someone who could make her cry when she wanted her to cry, laugh when she wanted her to laugh, and roll over when she wanted her to roll over.
“That’s hard to explain.”
Rona smiled awkwardly. Seeing her expression, Loriet’s face lit up with rapture.
“Oh, miss! Could it be related to something like the revelation from the Five Lords?”
“Well… that’s also something I’d rather not talk about.”
When she smiled awkwardly once more, Loriet cried out fervently.
“Miss! Could you please make that expression just once more?”
When Rona gave her an ambiguous, hesitant, yet reluctant-to-speak smile full of complex emotion, Loriet let out a little squeal.
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.”
