Long Live the Emperor, Minus Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 102
Paniya wasn’t the only one who kept her promise to send a letter. His Majesty had kept that promise as well.
But unlike Paniya’s letter, which I opened immediately upon receiving it at the townhouse, this one I still hadn’t dared to open even after bringing it to school.
“…It’s fine.”
Whenever I think of a letter from His Majesty, what first comes to mind is inevitably the scolding I received just before my death.
Reproaches about my disloyalty and negligence, written in gold ink melted onto precious silk too valuable even to wear as clothing.
Those dazzling characters, bright enough to tire the eyes if stared at too long, now appeared vividly behind my closed eyelids.
Ah, just the memory alone exhausts me. I rubbed my temples, weighed down by imagined fatigue.
Of course, I know this letter from His Majesty won’t contain anything like that.
But somehow, whenever I see a sealed letter, those memories inevitably come rushing back—it seems I can’t help it.
I managed to take the letter out of the drawer, but apparently still lacked the courage to open it.
I just sat there blankly, gathering my resolve throughout the evening free period.
If only my days were as busy as they used to be, I wouldn’t have wasted time overthinking and would’ve just opened it right away. But with so much idle time flowing past like water, my worries only grew longer.
After all, there’s absolutely no problem with just staring at the unopened letter for a full hour without reading it.
Eventually, I reached for the letter again only when dawn was nearly upon me. Unlike that day, moonlight alone wouldn’t be enough to read by, so I lit a candle.
I drew the curtains to prevent the light from leaking outside. Only then did I bow lightly and break the seal bearing the Grand Duke’s insignia.

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.”
