Kun’s letter was concise.
It began with the first encounter with Chloe he remembered, how he had lived after the war ended. It was about his background that he hadn’t fully explained during their initial conversation.
His personal details were not mentioned in the continuous story. Chloe, who had secretly expected information about him, was disappointed.
What was he trying to hide when Chloe’s identity had long been revealed?
Those who hide their identities are usually one of three things. A bad guy, or a conceited guy. Or both.
Considering the value of sending the letter, he must be a conceited guy.
If Kun is a conceited guy, one person comes to mind.
The current emperor of the empire.
But Chloe thought there was no way her friend could be the emperor.
Not only would the emperor of the empire not wander around the village in shabby clothes, but he would also not go around looking for a wallet.
Besides, Kun and the emperor were too different.
Both the emperor Chloe had met in person and the emperor she heard about were all cold and cruel people.
‘He’ll probably tell me his identity after we become a little closer.’
Chloe read the rest of the letter, putting aside her regret. Suddenly, it was the last page.
“Perhaps you are wondering when we will meet. I am too.
It probably won’t take long. I dare say. We will meet soon, Chloe.
Until then, I wish you well.”
It was just a story in print, shorter than any book, but how could it be so interesting?
“It would be a great honor if you could write a reply. Chloe.”
An addendum was written at the very bottom of the last page of the letter.
He could not completely abandon gracefulness, but the handwriting contained a bit of playfulness.
Chloe decided to write “Starting the reply of honor.” as the first greeting in her reply.
After that, the method of sending the letter was explained.
“Leave the reply where the letter was. There is no particular time to send it, so please write it at your convenience.”
It was not Chloe who sent the letter, but Kun, who had to receive it, who personally collected it.
He even tolerated such a cumbersome procedure to not disclose his address. At this point, Chloe began to be curious about his identity, which was not very curious.
‘…A wanted criminal?’
Having too much money but not being able to reveal his identity. Somehow, someone comes to mind.
This suspicion is not without reason.
Chloe decided to carefully ask for his identity when she sent a reply.
The next day, Chloe sat down at her desk as soon as she got up.
If there is no set time to send a letter, it means that it can be sent at any time. So, she wanted to send a reply as soon as possible and receive a reply to that reply.
For Chloe, who had only been writing business letters, playing letters with a friend was exotic.
Chloe also told her story in between, and also wrote down her feelings after hearing Kun’s story.
Writing this and that, the content of the letter was quite long.
Feeling embarrassed as if she was the only one excited, Chloe sneakily took out a few sheets of paper before putting them in the envelope. If she had the chance, she would send this content next time.
After finishing the letter, she went downstairs and enjoyed breakfast. Although the quality of the meal was significantly lower than yesterday, the satisfaction was higher than ever.
Chloe, who was curious about whether the letter had been sent, returned to her room as soon as she finished eating.
‘It’s gone!’
The letter that had been placed on the side table according to Kun’s instructions had disappeared as if it had vanished.
Could Jane be involved in this letter play? Who on earth took the letter?
Although curiosity arose, she decided to leave it alone.
Like magic, leaving it without unraveling the mystery was also one charm.
(This is a time separator.)
“Are you reading a letter in front of Your Majesty all of a sudden?”
Dillen, who entered the ruler’s office, could not hide his surprise.
The calm appearance of the man sitting quietly in the chair was surprising, and he even held a letter in his hand.
It seemed unbelievable that the lord, who used to hand over bundles of letters to Dylan, complaining that reading was bothersome, had now said this.
“I became interested.”
At the following words, Dylan’s heart beat fast.
Excitement, joy, and pride quietly welled up.
Finally, that man is showing interest in diplomatic matters!
Dylan, overwhelmed with emotion, did not unleash the nagging bundle he had thought about during his journey.
It became the third best thing he had ever done in his life.
Because if he had disturbed Kain’s concentration on the letter, something unbearable might have happened.
‘To my beloved friend….’
Kain started reading the letter he had read until the paper wore out from the beginning.
The very top line, where the sender’s name was. She called me ‘a beloved friend’ there.
Even while writing, the strokes of the characters were broken several times. It was lovely evidence that only Kain could discover.
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.”
