My Discarded Fiancé Returned (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Surely not—it couldn’t be. That’s impossible.
Serena’s heart leapt in startled panic, pounding wildly. Gathering what little courage she had, she finally opened her eyes to see Lucas’s large silhouette perched comfortably on a thick tree branch outside her window.
“Why, Your Highness…?”
“Why am I here? I simply couldn’t sleep.”
With that shamelessly blunt reply, Lucas’s dark eyes fixed steadily on Serena.
“I thought I’d take a walk… but then I seemed to hear my own name, so I climbed up without even thinking.”
Seeing his mischievous grin, Serena wanted nothing more than to slap herself for carelessly muttering aloud. And Lucas, who was clearly enjoying the situation, deserved at least a hundred slaps.
“How dare His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince eavesdrop outside a young lady’s bedroom?”
Serena deliberately spoke in a colder tone to mask her embarrassment.
“First, I didn’t know this was a young lady’s bedroom, and second, I only climbed the tree because I heard my name.”
Still wearing that shameless expression and delivering that shameless answer, Lucas met Serena’s glare with calm indifference.
“Oh, climbing trees just happens to be my hobby.”
Lucas smiled again, his face radiating ease.
“And regarding what I overheard by chance—”
“No! I mean, never mind.”
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.”
