My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
At Coon’s outrageous request, Chloe forgot even how to reply.
“I wish to receive the grace of the gods.”
“…Ah.”
Seeing her dazed and delaying her response, he finally clarified his meaning.
As she was no priestess and possessed no divine power, grace was impossible for her—but as a nurse who aided knights in place of the gods, it was different.
Of course, it was merely a ceremonial gesture with no real effect; since she couldn’t suffer in place of her suffering patients, she might as well offer her earnest prayers.
Innocent Chloe immediately pressed her lips to his hand. The back of his hand, touched by her lips, suddenly stiffened.
Having readily fulfilled his request, Chloe stepped back, asking if that was enough—but he pulled her close again.
“Here too.”
He pointed to his own cheek and nose, clearly marked with fresh wounds.
It was a shameless demand for grace there as well.
“…”
What was there to refuse? Confidently standing before him, Chloe hesitated for just an instant.
She suddenly realized she had never kissed Coon’s cheek before. Though their lips had brushed before, this sweet, childish gesture was entirely new.
Embarrassed and hesitant, she finally managed the kiss. The soft, brief sound of it tickled her heart.
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.”
Really? A monster in the camp and she didn’t get dressed just in case something went wrong? Idiot.
She apparently can’t even dress herself nor defend, in any meaningful way, against her ex, so it makes sense that she’d be doubted.
Not even a cliff hanger.
