If You Want A Cheeky Seductress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Roxiana, who had stopped beside Jewelry’s bed, looked down at the child for a moment before bowing toward Hexton. Her platinum hair swayed gently, falling over Hexton’s shoulders.
“I might be able to heal the child, Lord Leonardro.”
For the first time hearing words of hope, light returned to Hexton’s eyes.
“You can heal her?”
“Nonsense!”
The sharp outcry came from Arsen, who until then had silently observed the situation.
“Do not tempt a grieving father with empty words! False hope is poison!”
Roxiana turned her gaze toward Arsen, who had spoken so sharply.
“Are you certain of that?”
“What?”
“Are you truly certain that my words are meaningless and my hope futile—that I can do nothing and cannot help these people?”
Roxiana was still thin and pale. Her posture was unsteady as she remained bent over, having just whispered into Hexton’s ear.
Yet something inexplicable silenced Arsen. He could not believe he was being overwhelmed by this small, frail woman.
“Even if you cannot believe it, even if you cannot accept it—when one is desperate, shouldn’t one try anything? Are you truly going to dismiss a father’s hope merely because you dislike my presence, even if it’s like grasping at straws?”
“Let her try, my lord.”
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.”

“What makes him treat her so well?”
Hey bit*h! Roxiana is clearly different from you! People treat her like a jewel, while you are like a corpse.
“Enough already, okay? We came here to offer congratulations—so let’s just congr
