Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 147
That question instantly jolted her fully awake. It reminded her of a question someone had asked a few days ago. Latil repeatedly squeezed and released Gesta’s hand as she gazed at his sharp, well-defined jawline.
Gesta, who was usually too shy to ask such things, wouldn’t normally pose this question. Yet now, suddenly asking the same thing as Klein…
“Did you hear it? Who told you?”
It was clear he’d heard the words Latil had spoken to Klein from somewhere else.
In response to Latil’s question, Gesta merely smiled silently. He kept gently kneading their clasped hands—an indication he had much he wanted to say, yet his personality kept him from pressing further.
It really was obvious he’d heard it from someone. Latil let out a faint sigh.
“I wonder how that conversation ended up reaching you.”
“Do you truly like Prince Klein the most?”
“At that time… Klein was going through something painful.”
Latil fiddled with Gesta’s fingers, then, catching his eyes, grinned softly and whispered,
“The truth is, I like you the most, Gesta.”
She didn’t bother explaining that she would’ve given the same answer even if the one asking had been Tasir or Ranamun. Of course, Calain was the exception—he already had someone he admired.
At Latil’s reply, Gesta gave a subtle smile, gripped her hand more firmly, and murmured in a small, almost embarrassed voice,
“I’m sorry for asking such an awkward question. I was jealous. Even if it’s just flattery, I’m glad you said that.”
Instead of replying with the usual “It’s not flattery,” Latil turned toward him teasingly,
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.”
