I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 99
Ianathas was in an extremely confused state.
He had truly believed that Leniel was dead.
Because she had caused him so much turmoil, he had even prayed it would be better if she were gone.
Whenever Ianathas saw Leniel, the unfamiliar agitation of his own emotions startled him.
For him, the side effect of his supernatural ability manifested as excessive drinking.
A luckier person might have drowned their sorrows in alcohol, but Ianathas’s side effect was promiscuity.
At least he had the fortune of being an exceptionally handsome man who took good care of his body and enjoyed great popularity even within the casino.
He was also someone who occasionally served as a noblewoman’s lover to obtain information.
He had never felt any real guilt about such matters.
In fact, he had always preferred noblewomen.
There was no risk of complications, and since they viewed him merely as a source of amusement, parting ways cleanly was always easy.
That was also why female assassins from the casino could freely come and go from his bedroom without a second thought.
Though Ianathas was notoriously fickle, he still held to certain personal principles.
His golden rule was never to become physically involved with someone he genuinely cared about.
And until now, no woman had ever stirred his heart enough to make even that caution seem foolish.
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.”
