If You Wish For My Death (6 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 47
Cassian drank his tea in large gulps, his expression as stern as ever, while Veronica maintained her smile and nodded along to Magnolia’s idle chatter.
The icy atmosphere, paradoxically, brought a sense of peace.
As soon as the allotted time ended, Cassian immediately left the reception room.
Lake and the other guards and servants followed closely behind him. Watching Cassian walk away, Magnolia murmured,
“I never realized it before since I only saw him from afar, but His Highness Prince Teron has such an aura.”
Veronica’s voice sharply cut through the unsettling feeling.
“You mustn’t fall for him.”
Magnolia jumped in startled surprise at those words.
“Of course not! Absolutely not! His Highness Prince Teron isn’t even my type.”
Though her mention of “type” came out of nowhere, Magnolia repeated herself earnestly, stressing repeatedly that such a thing would never happen.
She reacted so strongly that Veronica had to calm her down instead.
“But about your ‘type’—isn’t he rather handsome, at least in terms of appearance?”
“Well, of course His Highness Prince Teron is good-looking too. But I prefer a gentler impression, you could say…”
A gentler impression? Veronica recalled the man who, until recently, had been her fiancé.
Though his core was rotten like a filthy rag, his outer appearance was certainly the kind to attract strangers’ favor.
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.”
It just feels like every single man in this empire is abnormal. Not a single good man. Sounds like real life.
Oh, that’s sad. I want them to get together soon. 💔💔💔💔
Omg veronica’s devotion towards Asar needs to be studied, and I don’t think Asar was ever capable of killing Veronica with his own hands, that’s why he always asked Cassian to do it.
