I Received The First Time Of My Extraordinary Superior (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 149
“Emilia, my husband first. Then I’ll hear you out.”
At Sydney’s firm words, Emilia had no choice but to leave the study, yet she halted after only a few steps. Staring blankly at the study door with a dazed expression, she still couldn’t believe it.
How could Sydney Warden possibly prioritize Logan over her? Especially when the matter also concerned Warden Manor…
After Sydney Warden received the title of count, the very first thing she did was sell Warden Manor and its lands to settle once and for all the suffocating poverty and debts. Though Sydney had acted composed, Emilia remembered clearly just how devastated Sydney must have felt back then.
Sydney wasn’t the only one suffering sleepless nights under the harassment of loan sharks. At dawn, an unwelcome visitor arrived—Duke Orwello, Victoria’s father.
“Do you really think I’d hand over my daughter and my family’s legacy to some greenhorn who’s got nothing but debts and a title?”
“Never—I never dared dream of such a thing, not even in my sleep. Victoria is merely a close friend…”
“Like father, like son.”
With those words, Duke Orwello tossed Sydney a blank check as if bestowing charity, inflicting deep humiliation and shame—not only on Sydney but also on Emilia, who had been secretly watching from the shadows.
That day, Sydney Warden burned the blank check and sold Warden Manor and its lands to erase those burdensome debts entirely.
Warden Manor… that place was…
Ernest lightly tapped Emilia’s arm, pulling her from her reverie.
“Miss Emilia?”
“…Warden Manor was nothing but a cage binding Sydney. The day she sold it, she looked so carefree—like a dandelion seed ready to float away on the wind.”

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.”
