I Will Live for Your Death (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
Rivel saw an unfamiliar ceiling before his eyes.
Judging by the sensation on his back and the lighting, this place was clearly some kind of hospital. Had he returned to the capital? Memories surfaced—his desperate struggle to hold onto fading consciousness and various voices echoing midway through.
‘So I’m still alive.’
Lying down, he began moving each finger one by one, trying to restore sensation. Though he’d experienced this feeling of dying and waking up multiple times before, it never truly grew familiar.
His last memory had been of Rosen. After finishing negotiations with Grand Duke Lerozen, he recalled collapsing from sudden physical distress, along with the words he’d spoken to Lailo and the final task he’d entrusted to Ruth.
‘Ruth. If I don’t wake up, assassinate the man who calls himself the Imperial Court’s chief torturer—Tamil.’
Though young, Ruth was well-suited for such a mission. But Rivel had awakened. The task given to Ruth was now void.
He himself had to deal with Tamil. He couldn’t leave it to anyone else. This man had brutally tortured and driven his benefactor to death. Rivel had spent hundreds of days steeling himself to repay that cruelty in kind.
Slowly, he turned his head. The moment he saw who stood before him, Rivel immediately sat up.
“…Your Imperial Majesty the Empress.”
Could it be that this wasn’t a dream after all? Amid the feverish dizziness clouding his mind, Ilyd alone had remained crystal clear. But thinking it must be a dream or illusion, he’d instantly called out her name. Had she heard? And if Ilyd asked, how should he answer?
Without a word, Ilyd handed Rivel a glass of water. Once she confirmed he’d drunk it, she quietly spoke.
“Can you speak?”
“Yes, Your Imperial Majesty the Empress.”
No sooner had Rivel finished speaking than a cold presence brushed his neck. Glancing down, he saw a dagger. He’d expected this. Calmly, he met Ilyd’s gaze without a trace of surprise.

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.”
