Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 272
Father and daughter each acted in their own way. The father’s action became visibly apparent first.
– “Viscount Valdesar, His Eminence Cardinal de Mare wishes to see you.”
– “Me?”
Summoned by Cardinal de Mare, Raphael headed to San Ercole Cathedral, deeply troubled.
‘Why on earth does His Eminence want to see me…?’
Raphael was a theology student and a member of the theological circle that gathered the cathedral’s most promising future leaders, but he was still just a young man of immeasurably low status compared to Cardinal de Mare, who represented all Etruscan dioceses.
Ultimately, he concluded that the cardinal must be calling him not for his own achievements, but for something he possessed—perhaps his connection to House Valdesar, or his friendship with the cardinal’s daughter. And from there, he saw one step further ahead.
‘If it concerned my family, he would’ve spoken to Father directly. So in the end, this must be about Lady Ari.’
And Raphael’s prediction proved entirely accurate.
“…So I’d like you to persuade my daughter a bit.”
“Pardon?”
But what Cardinal de Mare revealed was far beyond anything Raphael had anticipated.
“Tell her to marry Duke Cesare.”
Watching the young man’s face drain white before him, Cardinal de Mare stroked his beard.
“That’s…”
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.”
