I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
“But I like it here.”
Reniel said that, seeing signs the story was starting to diverge from the original.
Perhaps Tanasis would escape right now, and the mansion might never burn down after all.
If so, she couldn’t possibly find a better workplace than this.
In both her past life and this one, she had never seen a job as good as this.
If she left here, she’d probably end up working at some farm or ranch—far from the capital, with much harder labor awaiting her.
And without a letter of recommendation, no other noble household would even hire her.
‘Heh heh. I’ll only tell you this, Reniel.’
‘What is it, Chief Steward?’
‘Every retired Chief Steward of House Le Pelique has received a townhouse as a reward.’
‘Really?’
‘Of course. And not just any house—a townhouse right here in the capital. I plan to rent it out and live comfortably off the income for the rest of my life.’
Reniel recalled a conversation she’d once had with the Chief Steward who’d retired before Mariven, long ago due to old age.
He had treated her like a granddaughter shortly after she’d first arrived at the mansion.
Reniel now hoped that if Tanasis didn’t blow up the mansion and she could stay here until retirement, she too might one day receive such a townhouse—something she could use as a retirement fund.
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.”

Og good. As much as I want to see the blooming relationship of Reniel-Felix, Ianatas’ choice will be much better than straight up killing Reniel. The killing choice is definitely going to spark an undesirable war and bloodbath for everyone.
So Reniel apparently lost all of her memory prior entering the orphanage? Dude, that sounds so suspicious. It’s less like Reniel ran away after finding out horrible secret of imperial family and more like she was deliberately kidnapped and tossed into the orphanage, losing her memory after a traumatic experience.
Uuuh, Tanasis, dude, I think you should’ve come clean with Reniel and tell her the whole truth rather than keeping silence and going around. That won’t do well on the long run, Reniel might assumed he betray her trust when in fact he was well intended and wanted to return her back to her family.

I wonder what happened to the real Reniel’s soul. And I fear for this Reniel’s life because if she kept relied on the information from the story she read, then she’s in for a nasty worm can because of how starkly differed the reality and the novel’s story is.
