Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
I forced myself to appear calm, narrowing my eyes slightly and offering a faint smile to hide my surprise.
“If I introduce you as my commoner knight brother when we arrive, will that be all right?”
“The count may do as he pleases.”
Would anyone actually believe it? That aloof, stunningly beautiful man being a commoner?
“For your information, the unmarried ladies of the domain might pester you.”
Edmund frowned, as if bewildered by my remark.
“Why? Just like the baron’s daughter we met during our last retreat showed you favor.”
Though his aura remained equally untouchable, the difficulty level of approaching him differed drastically between being a duke and a commoner.
“…Favor?”
Edmund narrowed one eye slightly, as if hearing something utterly strange.
‘Then perhaps that was a duel challenge after all.’
I’d momentarily forgotten.
Edmund wasn’t just immune to women—he was biologically indifferent to them entirely.
He was also someone utterly incapable of recognizing a woman’s interest.
‘That must be because he’s had no leisure in life for the past nine years.’
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.”
