Stop Coming On to Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
He furrowed his brow, trying to discern what that emotion was, and glared at her. But since nothing was resolved, he began questioning her.
Yet, to his surprise, Rorisha Roar answered readily. Rocard realized she was under the influence of medicine and in an unusual state, so he stopped asking further.
Perhaps now he could draw out her true inner feelings—the genuine desires she had been suppressing under the weight of shame from being a bastard. Such a sinister thought raised its head.
But that desire also pricked Rocard Kaidel’s pride. Exploiting a woman in her vulnerable state was utterly unacceptable to him.
While Rorisha spoke with an unprecedented sincerity, he kept fighting his inner turmoil, wearing a faint smile.
Amidst the casual small talk exchanged during this process, learning her life’s goal was an unexpected gain.
Rorisha Roar. What an extraordinary woman.
He had heard from palace servants how she endured the Empress’s beating. He had never before seen a woman charge so recklessly, without regard for her opponent.
He himself had only learned to fight with everything on the line once he’d gone to the battlefield, yet she seemed as though she’d been doing it since birth.
Yet she wasn’t even aware of that fact herself.
She wanted to reject more from her parents than she wished to inherit, and sought to claim what she desired by herself, never relying on anyone else.
She never wasted time pondering what price she might have to pay along the way.
Perhaps it was that perilous recklessness, that vitality-like charm, which made him keep watching her.
Rocard realized he understood Rorisha far better today.
And the astute Rocard knew this knowledge would only continue to hold him back. Hadn’t he dared deceive the Empress just today?
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.”
I really feel like a proud mom. Omg🤧 they were so cute from start. I am very sad. I wish for new chapters 😭
