Reforming the Villain Family (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 122
Diane found herself gaping without even realizing it. They say that when someone is utterly shocked and flustered, their mind goes completely blank—and that was exactly her state right now.
Only when another traitorous tear slid down her cheek, defying her will, did Diane finally ask with certainty,
“Are you crying right now?”
There was no reply. Elijah hastily sat up and wiped his tears away carelessly with one hand.
“Was it really that bad? Did it hurt a lot?”
Diane scolded him, yet felt utterly helpless.
From beside her came words like, “If it hurt, I’m sorry—I didn’t mean to… I mean, who’d expect someone to suddenly lunge at me like that?!” But Elijah couldn’t even pay attention to those words.
‘How unsightly.’
Wiping his tears with the back of his hand, that’s what he thought. His earlier charge at Diane had only been to test her.
When he’d sensed someone approaching just before, Elijah’s first instinct had been to pull Diane close and hide her.
After all, if Diane were found here alone, people would swarm in, and then it would immediately become obvious that he himself had come to this place.
Yet it wasn’t Diane who had been overwhelmed by force—it was he himself. In fact, Elijah had even unconsciously used his holy power in his desperation at that moment.
And yet this ordinary gongnyeo had overpowered him, making him tumble to the ground in such an undignified manner.
Stunned by that, he’d exerted every ounce of strength to knock Diane down again—just wanting to believe, even for a moment, that it had merely been a fluke.
But it hadn’t been. Even after charging at her with full force, he couldn’t so much as graze her with a fingertip.

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.”
