In the Midst of Revenge on Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
I entered the room with my head bowed as low as possible, eyes firmly cast downward. Kahilrn de Hillik was said to be a madman who’d draw his sword the moment your eyes met his, so I absolutely couldn’t lift my gaze.
“There’s no way he’d kill someone just for making brief eye contact—he’s not insane.”
Huh? Why did Karl’s words suddenly pop into my head?
“Why are you just standing there instead of promptly showing proper respect to His Highness?”
Snapped back to my senses by the low, chiding voice, I quickly grabbed my dress and bowed deeply at the waist.
“I humbly present myself before His Royal Highness, First Prince, the shining sword and guardian of House Hillik. My name is Reneola Violet.”
The First Prince gave no reply. Yet I could clearly feel his gaze fixed upon me from above. I briefly feared he might leave me standing there indefinitely, just as he’d done to Floria at the victory banquet—but thankfully, that wasn’t the case.
“That’s enough with the formalities.”
I straightened my posture but kept my eyes lowered.
“You may go.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Ah. So I’m just going to pass through unscathed, then.
Relieved by the unexpectedly simple dismissal, I followed the head steward out—when suddenly,
“Where do you think you’re going?”
A voice laced with disbelief stopped me from behind.
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
