I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 124
It was roughly thirty minutes before Felix returned.
The sense of calm Leniel felt when she first entered the wardrobe was considerable. It felt like the only place in Felix’s room where she could truly feel at ease.
She had barely left his side throughout the entire two weeks.
There was no place she couldn’t be with him. Now, his entire room had grown familiar to her in a new, deeply personal way, and remembering it always filled her with shame so intense it hurt.
So she had wanted to find a space where she could catch her breath.
That place was the wardrobe.
Felix’s wardrobe was an exquisite piece made of mahogany. Because Felix had repeatedly destroyed it in the past, she knew exactly which workshop produced this wardrobe and how many days it took them to make a new one.
And the clothes inside that large wardrobe were also familiar.
They were neatly arranged, just as they had been during the time she worked here.
She realized the pleasant scent coming from within the large wardrobe was distinctly Felix’s. His alluring presence lingered throughout every corner of the room—an invigorating, crisp aroma like cold water that stirred the mind from its haze.
And now…
“It’s coming from me, too.”
She muttered this to herself and curled up even tighter inside the wardrobe.
Then, a row of clothes hanging on the rack collapsed all at once, covering her head. She paid it no mind, simply pulling the garments close and closing her eyes right there.
Alongside a strangely amusing sense of victory—as if she’d just toppled Felix herself—the cramped space, now fully enveloping her body, felt incredibly secure.
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.”
Is the story really over? I’ll miss you all… I’ll miss the heroine.
