In the Midst of Revenge on Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
“What good is it if the pigeon doesn’t peck out your eyes? I’m dying of heat!”
I roughly swept my sweat-soaked bangs aside. After wandering under the scorching summer sun for hours, I felt utterly drained.
The reason I’d been roaming the city all day was to find lace for Floria’s dress.
But I couldn’t locate that damned fabric shop—was it “Ralia” or “Ralea”?
“Damn it! Where on earth is it!”
Since they could’ve just summoned me to the palace, sending me out in this sweltering weather clearly meant they wanted to torment me.
Floria herself was perfectly calm, yet I was being harassed by that wretched Matilda—it made my blood boil.
I knew she’d fallen head over heels for the beautiful Floria, but still, to toy with someone like this was outrageous.
I clenched my teeth, vowing revenge once I returned to the palace—but first, I had to find that Ralia fabric shop.
“They said it should be just around here once I turned this corner….”
As I turned my head, I spotted a familiar face in the distance. The man with round spectacles and silver hair covering his eyes was the Chief Librarian.
“But who are those people with him?”
The burly men flanking the Chief Librarian, each resting a hand on his shoulders while clutching books, hardly looked like friends—more like thugs about to extort him.
“Of all the times to run into someone, it had to be like this.”
I watched the three disappear down the alley. Chasing after them recklessly would only burden me further—I was far too frail for that. By the time I fetched the guards, it’d already be too late….
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.”
Shes really got caught by the demon king. Good luck for the grim future
