Spent the First Night with the Male Lead, Thinking I Was Terminal (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 97
At Aria’s demand for money, Bawin nearly broke into a hollow laugh.
Here was someone who, by title alone, was a princess of the Herscher Ducal House, yet she was asking a stranger to lend her money.
If he hadn’t known the full circumstances, he might have suspected her words carried ulterior motives.
But Bawin already had information about her.
‘It must be hard for her to speak to the Duke. How could he possibly help her after she acted so recklessly on her own?’
Even though the Duke cherished her deeply, her current actions were clearly beyond the line.
No matter who she was, how could she possibly tell her father she’d nearly killed someone—or that she’d made a contract without the head of the house even knowing?
Having already learned every detail of the promissory note she’d signed through a trustworthy source, Bawin gave a cold, faint smile.
At a moment when she could instantly become a criminal in the eyes of the Empire, she was now at the mercy of the worst possible person.
Bawin pondered: should he firmly reject her now and let her face punishment—or not?
‘If I expose all her crimes, would even Duke Herscher abandon her?’
But that approach wasn’t what Bawin preferred.
His true target was none other than the Herscher family she belonged to.
More precisely, his final goal was Duke Herscher himself—the very man who had driven his own family into ruin.
Bawin wanted to see it.
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.”
