My Contract Marriage Got Interrupted (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
Fourth Princess Odette Benua Celestine.
No—now it would be more accurate to call her Countess Clovis or Odette Celestine Clovis.
In any case, news of her death had arrived two months ago.
She died after falling from the balcony of the Clovis Mansion.
It was said to be a height from which, with a bit of luck, one might survive—albeit crippled—but her luck had been utterly wretched.
Of all places, she landed directly onto a sharply protruding fence post.
‘Then again, perhaps one should call that good fortune.’
Since her fall had been intentional, calling it “good luck” was probably more fitting.
In that sense, Odette’s suicide had been successful.
If someone were to tell Odette herself this, she likely would have laughed brightly, saying she had poured every last ounce of her remaining luck into that moment.
Yes—up to this point, it was merely a story that surprised those around her and left the deceased herself somewhat satisfied.
‘I heard she didn’t have any deep relationships at all.’
The only thing remotely memorable was how unusually deeply Belvoir Academy expressed their regret—so much so that it stood out.
Even that was brushed off with nods of understanding once people heard that Odette had assisted the Academy with research and that someone she was close to was working there as a researcher.
Given that level of interaction, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable for Belvoir to express sorrow.

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.”
