My Mistress Became My Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
A few hours ago.
“……”
Lily’s face was filled with doubt and worry as she greeted her second morning at Earl Brayden’s Mansion. It wasn’t because staying at the mansion was uncomfortable—it was because of the letter Harry had delivered.
The red wax seal on the pristine white envelope felt like a blemish, making her uneasy. What made her even more uncomfortable was that the seal bore the crest of House Viscount Benjamin.
This was a letter sent to her by Frederick Benjamin—or rather, a reply. After all, it was Lily who had first written to him.
Last night, Lily had sent Frederick a letter through a messenger, clearly stating she had no intention of returning home for the time being, since she couldn’t possibly forgive him for his crimes. Of course, what she truly wanted was a divorce and never to return, but she hadn’t revealed that in earnest.
If he realized she was even considering divorce, he would surely do something reckless. Frederick Benjamin was the sort of despicable man who’d dig up his father-in-law’s grave just out of anger—so it was only prudent to keep her plans hidden until everything was perfectly prepared.
She hadn’t sent the letter expecting a reply—she never thought Frederick would even respond.
Yet, seeing the letter now here made her terribly flustered. Curious yet fearful about its contents, Lily stared fixedly at the sealed envelope.
She couldn’t just avoid it forever—especially not when the sender was Frederick Benjamin.
Fueled by her anger toward him, Lily overcame her fear and opened the letter.
[Do as you please.]
The message was so brief it instantly snapped the taut string of tension she’d been holding. Just to be sure, Lily tried holding the letter up to candlelight and other tricks, but there was no hidden message whatsoever.
It truly was just that single line. Lily found herself both absurdly embarrassed for having trembled over something so trivial and oddly perplexed at the same time.
What exactly did “do as you please” mean? It couldn’t possibly mean she was free never to return home again. Did it mean she could decide for herself whether or not to forgive him?

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.”
