Shall I Save You, Duke? (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 122
I have to save her.
I have to save her.
I have to save her.
These words echoed ceaselessly in Eugis’s mind. After Lina’s death, he began wandering like a man whose screws had come loose, searching for something.
A way to bring the dead back to life.
Everyone whispered that he had gone mad, for he stared only at books as if possessed by something.
Yet ignoring people’s mockery, he soon found a glimmer of hope in an ancient tome.
[On a barren land where nothing was born, two gods emerged. One carried light to illuminate the earth, and the other bore darkness to grant the earth peaceful rest.
But the two gods did not get along. Light despised darkness, and darkness loathed light. Eventually, they waged war over the earth, and light emerged victorious.
Yet darkness did not simply retreat. Secretly, as it departed the earth, it hid a fragment of its power somewhere within the land, hoping someone would one day find it and reveal its strength to the world…]
“The fragment of darkness…”
Eugis quietly murmured the book’s final line.
Light referred to the god Helios, and darkness to the god Lades. And this world now existed solely under the divine power symbolizing light.
According to the ancient text, another power—distinct from divine power—was hidden somewhere in the world.
[Helios follows the natural order, but Lades possesses power that defies the natural order.]

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.”
