One Day My Sister Died (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 072
72. Skin Rubbing Tightly Without Gaps
2023.12.11.
Yuan Pelliese broke free from the firm arms tightly wrapped around her body.
She had the illusion that her entire body was creaking with every movement.
Even when she opened her mouth slightly, her voice wouldn’t come out properly.
The voice that last night had poured forth sounds she’d never heard from herself before was now completely hoarse.
Lifting the blanket to inspect her skin revealed bruises densely covering her flesh, as if she’d been naked for days and pelted by hailstones.
She sat leaning against the headboard, carefully gathering her tangled black hair to one side and embracing her trembling body with her own arms.
Beneath the pouring sunlight, the man lying asleep looked like a masterpiece sculpted over years—his lips tightly sealed in a straight line.
His body, barely covered below the waist, was unbelievably massive and solid, with a frame unlike any other.
Yuan hesitated, wondering whether to pull the blanket over him, then paused, choosing instead to quietly admire the man beneath the sunlight.
Scattered across his pale, smooth skin were countless scars, the origins of which she couldn’t guess. Were those also the Emperor’s doing? It would be nice if he could take even the pain of old wounds away.
Regretfully, Yuan gently traced the scars on his body with her fingertips.
‘……Clade.’
Two full days had passed since they had devoted themselves entirely to each other, not even pausing for meals.
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.”

I’m anxious to see how everything is resolved, but I also feel sorry to see how the protagonist is misunderstood and can’t fix her situation

The more her trembling eyes scrutinized his face, the more her heart sank.
It’s hard to believe that they still can’t talk to each other sincerely…
“Did you know your heart is weak?”
Urgh, it’s so annoying that he started to believe her only now…
Fail.
Don’t fail then ?? 😭 Gosh I need to read something less stressing
