My Husband Has Changed (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
“This way.”
The place Klaus led her to was a makeshift tent hastily patched together with cloth.
She could already sense the faint glow of light seeping through the thick fabric, muffled groans of pain, and the sharp, metallic scent of blood.
As they approached the tent, the knights gathered in small groups near the entrance stared at them with startled expressions.
“…….”
The atmosphere was far from friendly—in fact, it bordered on openly hostile.
Even the knights who had previously maintained a cold but respectful distance out of deference to Valentin now showed clear signs of disapproval in his absence.
Unlike the lower-ranking soldiers, who had been receptive to restorative magic, the senior knights largely believed it to be nothing more than superstition.
‘After all, none of them ever truly believed restorative magic was real.’
All they knew was that the Duchess had used some “strange sorcery” to save Margaret from death—and that this sorcery was suspected of being demonic in origin.
Once branded, such a stigma was hard to erase, and she had expected resistance from the conservative knightly order—but…
‘I didn’t think they’d show such blatant rejection.’
Adel calmly met the hostile gazes directed at her.
In the past, such looks might have wounded her, but now she remained composed—perhaps because her mindset had changed.
She had begun, ever so gradually, to believe that even someone like her had a reason to exist in this world, that she might truly be of help to someone.

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.”
