Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 272
Although this was Carissen’s territory, it was the villa where Duke Daga had left only a minimal number of trusted aides in order to kill the prince.
That very attempt to avoid people’s eyes now caught up with them—clearly outnumbered, Duke Daga’s faction was at a severe disadvantage.
Aini’s shoulders trembled faintly. Having rushed here urgently to stop her father, she too had brought only minimal escorts and no other troops.
La Til deliberately kept a smile on her face to provoke their enemies and gave orders to Vanil and Aksian.
“Go over to where those people with bows are. You’ll protect them.”
“But Your Highness…”
“You really lack romance. If you’ve come to rescue someone, taking them with you is part of the whole package.”
La Til gestured toward the large, white bird she had ridden in on, and Vanil and Aksian bowed before approaching the Heuksasin Dan mercenaries.
Once La Til confirmed the mercenaries were taking care of them, she climbed back onto the bird with Klein.
[Ah! My spine—! My spine’s breakingaaaah…!]
The griffin, temporarily dyed white, let out an agonized shriek—but fortunately, only La Til could hear its cry. Deliberately ignoring the wail coming from beneath her, La Til gently massaged the griffin’s neck, urging it to fly off quickly.
“Let’s go. Let’s go.”
The griffin let out another shriek but obediently took flight as instructed. Judging by its grumbling, it seemed eager to drop them off in Tariyum quickly and head straight for a hot bath.
While continuing to massage the griffin’s neck to calm it down, La Til kept looking back at Aini and Duke Daga’s group, who grew smaller as their altitude increased.
“She must be really angry.”
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.”
