Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
“Oh, by the way, I heard you’ve joined Marchioness Weekly’s gathering.”
“…So what?”
At the mention of Marchioness Weekly, Antraga proudly lifted his chin.
So prestigious was the gathering hosted by the esteemed Marchioness Weekly—raised through elite circles—that noblewomen queued up for a chance to join.
Antraga himself had long admired Weekly enough to bribe those around him, and now that he’d entered the gathering, his arrogance pierced the heavens.
“If someone of your stature has joined that gathering, I’m certain you’ll serve as a role model for the inadequate Berita.”
Antraga, wary of whatever nonsense she might spout next, tightened his lips.
“You really do understand.”
“Of course—I’ve always seen you shine.”
Antraga crossed his arms and cast his eyes demurely downward, waiting for her next words.
“Like sequins.”
“What?”
Antraga’s expression snapped awake, and he glared at me fiercely.
‘You’d best not assume I’d ever compare you to a gem.’
I smiled gently and waved both hands, spread wide beside my head.
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.”

“If my careless words caused you pain, I sincerely apologize.”
I didn’t think he would apologize. It is difficult for a person to apologize. Even if he is wrong.
“Since he’s soaked, he might catch a cold. Strip him of all his clothes before s
Haha! This is sweet. It would be a funny sight for Devon to walk around in his underwear. Point for Edmund.
Wrapped in the only blanket he could scrounge up, half-naked and groaning, Devon
Where did he find a blanket?! It’s fun to see Devon suffer. Waiting for more fun from Etricia’s revenge.
