Tame or Be Captured (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 047
Jackal, who had been blinking his eyes like a docile horse knowing nothing, brought his head to a nearby water bucket and gulped down water thirstily.
Then, on a whim, he also chewed the straw next to it noisily.
“Hey, look properly. Does that even look like a human? No matter how you look at it, it’s a horse.”
“This… this is strange! That can’t be possible…!”
“I’m telling you, it’s just your drunken hallucination!”
The man struck his servant on the head.
“For heaven’s sake, get a grip! You drunken fool.”
“No, just let me say one thing….”
The servant covered his head, looking wronged, but the man spoke even more fiercely.
“How dare you guzzle alcohol like that right in front of Lady Banetsa’s beloved horse? Be grateful I won’t report this to His Majesty. If anyone else had seen you, you’d be fired on the spot. Understand?”
The servant, cowed and resentful, kept glancing furtively at Jackal.
But Jackal calmly closed his eyes again and drifted back to sleep.
Wondering if he truly had seen things due to his hazy, alcohol-clouded memory, the servant tilted his head in confusion and left.
The moment they closed the door and departed, Jackal transformed back into a human and spat out the straw.
He let out a sigh of relief, brushing a hand across his chest.
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.”
Not practically, it is a form of torture. Jackel didn’t jump into the water on his own while tied to the boulder.
It seems backward that the Empress is invited to a Duchess’ tea party.
What terrible phrasing. ‘He couldn’t possibly take her…’ She is the empress of the empire, Jackel needs to get with the program. She has shown herself to be stronger and more resilient than anyone else in this novel.
