Reforming the Villain Family (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
I woke up before dawn.
As I gazed out the window at the sky still untouched by sunrise, I remembered the first time I’d come to the Duke’s mansion.
[You’re up early again today.]
The Silver Snake coiled at the foot of my bed gave its tail a gentle flick.
“Yeah, I’ll be back soon, so you stay here.”
[What do you mean, ‘soon’?]
While I bundled up in my outer clothes, the Silver Snake trailed beside me, tail swaying playfully. I shut the door firmly behind me and hurried out through the front entrance.
I had barely opened the front door when I froze in place.
“So that’s why you keep dozing off at every meal.”
“Were you sneaking out at dawn without telling us, little one?”
“…….”
Clemens, Dayban, and Michael turned to look at me one after another. They’d already stationed themselves near my rocking chair.
That chair had been placed there by the gardener. Noticing how I’d sat on an ordinary chair every day waiting for the Duke, he’d taken pity on me and brought it over, saying, “Miss, sitting on this chair will be less boring while you wait.”
“How did you know I come out here?”
“Is that what matters? The tiniest among us is awake while everyone else is asleep!”
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.”

What is this? Why did she skip five chapters at once? I wanted her to stay young for a longer time.
