My Insolent Shadow (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
It’s reckless, yet reasonable. After all, it would severely damage Blanchet’s dignity.
If absolutely necessary, it could be done—but for nobles, desire always lurks behind honor.
I, too, as long as I live, carry Blanchet blood, so I must act accordingly.
Yet this girl knows one thing but remains ignorant of another.
If it can’t be done, then make it happen. In the most noble yet despicable manner, just like the aristocrats of the capital.
“Really?”
A dangerous smile briefly flickered at Cassian’s lips.
“So it seems your home wasn’t quite as desperately needed as I thought. My worry was for nothing.”
Yuriciel once again swallowed her tears, thick as blood.
There was nothing more foolish than shedding tears before this young master, who always trampled on her desperation.
Now Yuriciel finally understood a little. This young master was provoking her just to see her clownish tears.
She had no intention whatsoever of playing the fool to suit his intentions.
So she would endure just a little longer. Just a little more.
The longer she endured, the more vividly that house—long standing, protecting her and her mother through the years—appeared before Yuriciel’s eyes.
That house, likely already smashed to pieces by now, had been built through desperate effort.
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.”
