I've Possessed Persephone (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
Hades’ already ashen face lost what little vitality it had left.
“I haven’t gone as far as ‘grandpa’ or ‘old man.’ That’s what you’d call someone from my parents’ generation.”
“So you *have* gone as far as ‘uncle’ or ‘elder,’ then.”
“…….”
“Hahahaha!”
Hermes, seeing Hades’ expression, clapped his hands and burst into loud laughter. He wiped the tears gathering at the corners of his eyes.
“When you think about it, you *are* technically my uncle—aren’t you sworn siblings with Lady Demeter?”
“No, I know that much already…”
“Then perhaps you should be grateful you’re not being called ‘maternal uncle.’ By the way, why are you suddenly so concerned about titles?”
Hades bit his lip tightly.
‘“Uncle” or “maternal uncle” are titles usually reserved for married men…!’
He’d never even been in love, let alone married—it felt utterly unfair.
‘Zeus… so *this* is how you’ve been feeling all along.’
Hades, now deeply empathizing with his younger brother’s plight, glared at Hermes.
“…Your tongue resembles a snake’s, Hermes, yet it isn’t forked in two. Shall I split it for you myself?”
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.”
Oh my God, poor, pitiful Hades! I hope he finds happiness with Persephone.
Oh, poor Hades! He’s so sweet. Why doesn’t anyone like him? I hope Persephone likes Hades and brings spring into his world.
Poor Hades, how can a little child be hungry? How sweet, how his expression changes upon hearing Persephone speak.
