My Discarded Fiancé Returned (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
The morning after the small festival, the imperial carriage finally departed officially from Duke Astel’s estate. Though Serena felt sorry for the servants who, unaware of the circumstances, came to see the carriage off, she once again chose to ride back with Lucas on horseback.
“Well then, shall we go too?”
“Yes.”
Avoiding the servants’ eyes, the two had already readied their horses and, without needing to say who would go first, swiftly mounted and began to gallop away.
“Hyah!”
Though spring was said to be arriving, the still-chilly wind filled Serena’s chest and brushed against her cheeks. She couldn’t be sure when she’d enjoy such freedom again, but she had decided to trust Lucas and the promise he’d made her.

Meanwhile, Elise and Jane also joined the group returning to the imperial palace. Whether by consideration for the two of them or mere coincidence, they ended up sharing a single baggage carriage—and unlike when they’d arrived at Astel, both their faces now shone brightly.
“Now that I think about it, we first met in a carriage.”
“Yes. Though that one was far narrower and older than this.”
Though called a baggage carriage, it was accompanying the Crown Princess, so it was spacious enough for two ladies to sit comfortably.
“Who would’ve thought I’d ever ride in such a luxurious carriage?”
Jane kept laughing at how drastically her circumstances had changed. To Elise, who remembered often riding in Marquess Sherwood’s carriages even if not the imperial ones, Jane’s delight seemed both endearing and slightly pitiful.
“This is still just a baggage carriage. Someday, you might ride in an even finer one.”
Elise smiled as she turned toward Jane.

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.”
