I'll Abandon the Fake Savior (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
Time passed, and before they knew it, evening had arrived.
In the banquet hall sat Greta and a man—not Kendali.
Count Volendo sliced into a steak dripping with blood and spoke.
“So it was mere loyalty? Are you certain she said those very words herself?”
“Yes. Things have become troublesome.”
Greta replied in a tone devoid of emotion. She, too, was cutting small pieces of the blood-dripping meat and eating them. The two were just now reviewing the conversation between Greta and Kendali.
“It’s hard to believe. I thought she might be playing at love—never imagined it was truly loyalty.”
“Could someone really feel such loyalty over something so trivial?”
“A woman helping another woman… That’s hardly a common tale in high society, is it?”
Count Volendo chuckled softly. Just yesterday, the former friend of Princess Windsor had died—a commoner who, consumed by jealousy so fierce it seemed she wished the princess dead, had ultimately perished herself.
“Should we say she lacked the taint of high society because her blood was too coarse, or that she simply suffered less?”
At Greta’s muttered remark, Count Volendo nodded slowly. He set down his knife without having eaten even half his steak. A faint clink of silverware echoed softly.
“Then where is that woman now?”
“I’ve locked her away.”
“Will you kill her? The research isn’t complete yet, is it?”

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.”
