Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
Hearing those words, Sianna felt as though tears might suddenly spill over. It felt as if someone finally understood the painful days she had endured in her father’s house.
To her, who had barely managed to swallow back the tears welling in her eyes, the Queen Consort gave an order.
“Lift your head.”
Following the Queen’s command, Sianna raised her gaze, which had been fixed downward the entire time.
And she realized the Queen Consort, draped in crimson cloth, looked different from how she had imagined.
When she had seen her before, presented as a wedding gift, the Queen had seemed like a precious princess raised in a sunlit land—but now, she appeared as though born from the Kyrios Mountains. Even the knuckles of her fingertips seemed imbued with cold.
The Queen Consort’s blue eyes slowly swept over her. Sianna thought those large, clear eyes resembled a glacial sea—so chilling she could not readily meet them.
After inspecting her silently, as if appraising her, the Queen Consort finally spoke.
“Take off your clothes.”
Though her tone had somehow grown softer, Sianna felt as if her blood drained downward the moment she heard those words.
Take off her clothes?
Regardless of how inappropriate the request was, Sianna simply could not undress before the Queen Consort—not before anyone, for that matter.
Her body surely still bore bruises that had not yet faded—marks left from punishments not long past.
Seeing Sianna hesitate in confusion, the Queen Consort said understandingly,
“Ah, you can’t manage it alone, can you? I’ll call a servant.”
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.”
