In This Life, I'll Assist You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
The Red Caterpillar loved Medea Lahert.
The Lahert ducal house had taken in the dying orphan wanderer.
There, the young Medea he saw for the first time was the most beautiful being he had ever encountered in his life.
— I want to place her where the filth of the world cannot reach, in the highest, purest place. —
That was the Red Caterpillar’s dream.
The caterpillar tore open an old scar on his forearm. Beneath the sunken flesh lay two small cylinders—one white, one black.
The white contained sleeping gas, and the black—
The caterpillar gave a bitter smile and handed the white cylinder to Julia Nugent.
“Summon the knights guarding the door. The moment they open it, release this.”
Like all other northern women, Julia had trained in swordsmanship, so she was agile.
She stunned the two knights who opened the door in surprise with the sleeping gas, seized their key, and pulled the caterpillar out from behind the bars.

What Arcadia faced upon his return was the corpse of a squire who had been guarding the room where Julia was imprisoned.
Arcadia closed the dead boy’s eyes, drew his sword, and ascended the corridor leading to the Nugent family’s secret vault.
Two knights lay collapsed before the vault chamber—reserve knights who had remained behind to defend the castle.
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.”
