Shall I Save You, Duke? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
The next morning. Lina, back to her usual self, was on her way to the mansion. People were gathered and murmuring in front of a bulletin board set up at one side of the square.
‘What’s going on?’
Just as Lina, puzzled, was glancing around her surroundings, two men began pasting unfamiliar papers onto the wall.
They were guards from Permanence Castle—men she’d seen a few times before while running errands for Cullen.
‘Has something happened at the mansion?’
Unable to contain her curiosity, Lina stepped closer to read what was written on the papers. She murmured as she read the notice posted on the wooden board.
“An order restricting movement…?”
It was an announcement that the castle gates would be closed for the time being, and that no one would be allowed to leave the territory until the movement restriction was lifted.
Not long after, another guard arrived and began putting up a new poster. On the paper, which appeared to be a wanted notice, was a portrait of a woman.
“Who is this woman?”
“She must be a criminal—the reward is posted right there.”
“No, what could she have done to deserve this?”
Dark gray hair, brown eyes, and even her short stature.
“What on earth is this…?”
Lina took a step backward, her face pale as she scrutinized the wanted poster.
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.”
