Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
After saying it out loud, Ophelia realized how rude her words had sounded and wondered if Idren might not have understood her at all. She hunched her inexplicably trembling shoulders and added an explanation.
“I threw the ornament from the desk at Mahanas.”
The pitch-black chaos in her mind—like a sky filled with storm clouds—began gradually clearing. Ophelia looked down at the scattered fragments on the floor.
She absolutely had no intention of causing Mahanas physical harm.
It wasn’t for his sake. Normal people simply didn’t go through life planning to lay hands on others. Ophelia was no exception.
She’d only wanted to hear a bit more of what Mahanas was saying. Her brother had a loose tongue and often let slip important words—his own or others’.
“Why do you need money?”
“I’ve incurred some debt.”
Since he pinpointed it so bluntly—not after a day or two—it must have been a substantial amount.
Ophelia, puzzled because this incident hadn’t happened until much later in her previous life, asked,
“To whom, and how much?”
“What do you care? Just prepare the money I tell you to.”
“If you don’t want to tell me, fine. But I won’t hand over money to somewhere unknown. You’ll have to handle it yourself.”
“Are you out of your mind?”
Instead of replying, Ophelia just stared directly at her brother. Since it was clear who held the upper hand, Mahanas eventually sighed and answered.
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.”
