I Plan to Repay Kindness with Enmity (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
In truth, Hubert was in her room. She had kept him there, claiming she’d had a nightmare.
She’d expected him to refuse her request—given how awkward things had become between them lately—but surprisingly, he readily stayed in the room.
‘Why is she acting like this all of a sudden? I already have a headache because of Hubert!’
Hubert, Hubert, Hubert.
Beloved Hubert.
Sometimes she even wondered if he truly saw her as his younger sister, but she knew that could never be the case.
The way Hubert looked at her wasn’t the gaze one would give family—it was the look reserved for a woman who could cause trouble at any moment.
Of course, compared to other lustful noble youths who had once lavished praise upon her, his gaze was subtly cooler; yet, given his placid temperament—like the still surface of a lake—even that slight emotion might seem significant.
Regardless, his gaze was unmistakably that of a man.
Some claimed he saw in her the younger sister he’d lost to illness in childhood, but Aris merely scoffed at the notion.
‘As if! How dare he compare me to anyone else.’
Lately, she’d grown considerably less angry with Hubert—he no longer spent time with Igraine and did everything she asked without hesitation.
As for her vanished ability, she’d simply decided it was fine to claim her health was temporarily poor and thus she couldn’t use it.
She was also considering bringing in an inexperienced young priest to use whenever needed.
Until she became Countess.

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.”
