Seducing the Tyrant Instead of My Favorite (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
“I went to see you. I was startled to find your bed empty.”
“You went to the Canary Room?”
“I thought I’d lost you again. If I couldn’t follow your scent, my heart might have burst.”
Deep lines creased Nikolai’s brow.
His expression mixed relief at having found me with annoyance at my having worried him.
The moment I saw that look, the stiffness gripping my body and mind began to ease.
“Actually, I went to see Your Majesty too.”
“In this attire?”
Nikolai swept his disapproving gaze over me.
His eyes seemed to pierce through the thin slip I wore, seeing right through to what lay beneath.
Without thinking, I pulled my shawl tighter.
Though it couldn’t hide my flushed face.
“You keep doing reckless things. What if something happened to you?”
“Surely there aren’t any perverts in the imperial palace?”
“Still, you must be careful. You’re far too reckless.”
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.”

Oh my God, how wonderful they are! They’ve finally confessed to each other.
