If You Want A Cheeky Seductress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 147
Elise took a bottle of fine liquor and headed straight to the Crown Prince’s palace the moment Madam Hestin left. Lucas, who had been seething over the news that Floyd had entered the city in a carriage, drank the liquor Elise offered him, saying, “You’re the only one who understands my feelings.”
The sleeping draught she had slipped into the drink took effect almost instantly.
Elise looked down coldly at Lucas, crumpled on the sofa in deep slumber, then entered his bedroom without any interference. She knew exactly what lay inside the secret safe hidden behind the painting on the bedroom wall.
Her hands moved without hesitation as she removed the painting and opened the safe.
From within the safe, Elise pulled out a single land deed—documentation for the Ivenue region in southwestern Gania.
As she tucked the deed deep inside her skirt and turned to leave, Elise whispered to the sleeping Lucas,
“I’m not going to sell this land, Your Highness.”
Since she had already borrowed two hundred gold from a loan shark, she needed collateral if she wanted to borrow more. Loan sharks shared information among themselves; if they learned that Elise, who already owed two hundred gold, was seeking another loan, they wouldn’t lend her a single coin without proper security.
“I’ll get it back soon. So please rest easy.”

Watching the steward of the grand mansion near the royal palace stammer helplessly, Floyd burst out laughing.
“As petty as ever!”
Though he hadn’t named anyone, everyone present knew exactly who he meant. The steward was shocked by Floyd’s audacity in calling his own country’s Crown Prince such a despicable name—but since he privately shared the same opinion, he simply bowed his head even lower.
Before departing for Gania, Floyd had rented this grand mansion. His errand boy had even paid a substantial deposit, but recently the Crown Prince had issued an order forbidding passage through Royal Road to crack down on the gypsies causing disturbances in the capital.
Although the number of gypsies entering and leaving the capital remained unchanged and no unusual dangers had occurred, the knights had no choice but to enforce the Crown Prince’s command strictly and guard Royal Road with heightened vigilance.
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.”
