Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
And the woman lowered her eyes. Idren couldn’t tell if she was feeling down. The Ophelia he knew wasn’t someone who’d be upset over something like this, yet the shadow on her face looked unmistakably like gloom.
He asked the figure standing near the fireplace.
“Could it be that you were upset because of that?”
“No.”
She hadn’t been upset. She’d simply dismissed it, thinking it wasn’t something she needed to concern herself with.
It was sincere, without a trace of falsehood, yet the man seemed to be watching her carefully. He added more words, sounding almost like an excuse.
“I thought telling you about such matters wouldn’t change anything. After all, I’d be the one to resolve the issue anyway… Ah, even that sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it?”
Then Idren fell silent. Ophelia glanced sideways at the man, who looked awkward despite having no reason to be.
“But still, you wanted me to look after the castle while you were away on campaign, right?”
“…Did you know?”
“I didn’t at the time. I only found out after the war had ended.”
To be precise, it was the man who claimed to be his financial advisor who had come and told her.
Ophelia still remembered what that man—Hazelle, whose name she now knew perfectly well—and his cousin had said.
“Since my lord handles everything alone during peacetime, you mustn’t remain idle during wartime.”
Ophelia recalled the man’s brown eyes filled with hostility toward her. Though polite, his entire demeanor made it clear he held no respect for her.
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.”
