Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 66
“But isn’t that strange? Normally, when someone steals an item like this, it’s to secretly sell it for financial gain, right?”
“True.”
“Then shouldn’t they have stolen books other than botany? Book prices vary wildly—rare copies of knightly swordsmanship manuals, literature, or philosophy texts can fetch enormous sums, but herbalism? Definitely not.”
“That’s true. Most nobles display books in their libraries merely to flaunt their intellectual vanity, and botany isn’t exactly popular.”
“For me, though I couldn’t really afford it, books on herbalism or botany weren’t outrageously expensive compared to other fields. I could buy one with a week’s worth of food money. In fact, the bookstore owner often set aside such books just for me, saying I was practically the only one who ever asked for them.”
Merchants importing foreign books rarely selected specific titles when bringing them from other countries. Often, they’d purchase entire crates, sort through them later, and then price and sell them accordingly.
During that process, the botany and herbalism books that accidentally came along were seen as useless, taking up space for no reason. That’s precisely why they were so cheap.
“Would anyone really risk stealing imperial property just to earn such petty change? It’d be far more profitable to take a single rare literary book than all the botany volumes combined!”
“Then shall we ask the librarian?”
“That’s a good idea. The books might be stored elsewhere.”
[This is the timeline separator]
We sought out the librarian and questioned why the botany books weren’t properly stored.
“As for plant-related books, that’s all there is.”
We frowned at his words. It made no sense— the plant-related volumes here in the Imperial Capital Library amounted to less than a tenth of what had once been in my apothecary.
He explained that, according to records, no new plant-related books had been added to the library in the last twenty-five years.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
