I'm Terminal Anyway, No Regrets (17 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
I’d heard he’d be back soon, but I didn’t expect it to be today.
I stopped halfway to the door when I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror. Blood had spread widely over my chemise.
‘What should I do?’
I hurriedly changed only the chemise and draped a shawl over my shoulders. They must have heard I was injured, but I didn’t want to show it. If I told them I was hurt, wouldn’t he get angry again?
Just imagining Liam getting angry made the corners of my mouth lift.
I steadied my breathing.
“Liam?”
When I opened the door, Liam was there.
Liam, Liam Wilboyer. My savior.
He carried the scent of dust from a long journey. Sun-kissed more than before, the color of his eyes now appeared sharper.
“How’s the wound?”
“The doctor treated it. It’s not deep.”
“I noticed the light was on, so I dropped by. I also have things to discuss about matters in the capital. May I come in?”
“Come in.”
Happy to see him, I lingered at the doorway. Stepping aside to let him enter, I was startled to find Valken sitting right where I’d moved, blocking the way.
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.”

"L-Liam?"
Wow… It really surprised me. Perhaps this is the best way to protect her from the emperor.
"No."
Well I think that this is a very sensible and reasonable response to his nonsense
"L-Liam?"
This is such common thing what could protect you more than marriage 😏
