My Contract Marriage Got Interrupted (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
Arnold looked at his grandson with a newly surprised gaze.
His face had always been handsome, taking after his father, and that hadn’t changed—but Walter now felt somehow distant from the Walter Arnold had known all along.
He was still as devoid of humanity and as rude as ever, yet until recently, he hadn’t been this brazenly reckless.
Though Walter never particularly welcomed Arnold’s nagging, he hadn’t outright ignored his grandfather’s scoldings either.
That wasn’t so much out of natural respect for elders as it was courtesy toward someone who had long protected House Ertman.
‘But now… it’s as if something’s broken inside him.’
Watching Walter calmly reply that the birdcage was perfectly fine, Arnold wanted to ask if he was being serious.
Even if Walter truly thought that way, the old Walter never would have said it aloud.
That grandson of his used to reluctantly nod along to his grandfather’s complaints, clearly annoyed but still listening—precisely because he was that kind of person.
So then, just who in the world was this stubborn, strangely obstinate fellow sitting before him now?
‘Granted, it’s not as if I haven’t seen war change people before…’
But could it really cause such a stark sense of alienation?
If this transformation stemmed from his interest in the Fourth Imperial Princess Odette, Arnold would be absolutely delighted.
After all, it’d mean this boy finally had at least one human quality worth showing.
‘But what if it doesn’t?’

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.”
