My Husband Has Changed (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
From the inner garden emerged Padre, followed by a retinue of priests arrayed behind him like ceremonial banners. Adel stared at him with slightly startled eyes.
They had indeed arranged to pass each other briefly here at this hour today, but she hadn’t expected him to appear so openly and boldly.
Each priest held in hand a holy book and a thornwood staff, the symbol of Morrig. Their faces, perhaps having received some secret hint, all looked resolute yet enigmatic.
Pretending not to notice Adel’s flustered state, Padre greeted her gently.
“So His Grace the Grand Duke is here as well.”
Valentin, still utterly absorbed in Adel’s face, seemed unaware that anyone was approaching him at all—or perhaps he simply didn’t care.
After anxiously glancing around, Adel managed a smile toward Padre.
“Archpriest Padre. What a surprise to meet you here. I hope your stay has been comfortable?”
“Certainly.”
Only then, seemingly irritated by Adel’s smile, did Valentin cast an annoyed glance toward Padre. His pupils, narrowed by the light, appeared almost arrogant.
Valentin scanned Padre from head to toe, then visibly relaxed, as if deciding that someone like this could never be worthy of Adel’s loving smile.
“Wha— who?”
“Do you recall my mentioning earlier that Greta was unwell? Lately her health has worsened, so I asked a priest I know for help—also to repair the Veil of Morrig.”
“I… see.”
“He is my godfather and someone I frequently visited while residing in the capital. Your Grace must have met him briefly before—he officiated our wedding vows.”

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.”
