The Credentials of a Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 147
Why do bad premonitions always turn out to be right?
I swallowed a bitter smile as I looked at the newly arrived army. The deposed prince’s fresh troops outnumbered all the soldiers gathered so far by far, and like them, they bore the Crayton crest emblazoned on their chests.
Just thinking about what orders such a massive force might have received from the deposed prince—and why they acted separately—made my head spin.
Of course, the uninvited guests had no reason to consider my position. Watching one figure stride out from the group and approach me, I forced a smile onto my lips.
Judging by the uniquely styled armor he wore alone and his position clearly at the front, he seemed to be the commander leading the army sent by the deposed prince.
“Looks like we’ve ended up meeting for the first time under these circumstances. I hope we get along well. I’m Pimir Navet.”
A woman?
Startled by the unexpectedly melodious voice, I looked up with wide eyes.
I’d assumed the commander was male—after all, there was no woman tall enough that I, wearing boots, would need to look up at her—but the commander who removed her helmet was indeed a woman.
I took a quick, deep breath. This was another thing I hadn’t anticipated; it was rare for women to serve as knights.
“Please feel free to call me Sir Navet.”
“Just when I was running short on hands, you’ve arrived—now I can finally relax a bit.”
Though flustered, I didn’t let it show. Even as I placed a hand over my chest and offered a slight bow of courtesy, I knew this woman before me was no ally. I looked up at Pimir with both hands neatly clasped together.
She left a striking impression in many ways. Her hair, cut daringly short enough to fully expose her forehead, was so soaked with sweat that it stuck messily against her scalp from her helmet. Freckles dotted her sun-browned skin.
Her eyes, long and narrow without double eyelids and slanting upward at the ends, looked fierce, and an old-looking scar marked her cheek.

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.”
