The Credentials of a Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 172
“It can’t end like this.”
“But what do you think you can do in that state?”
“We still have to find some way to bring him back. Otherwise, we’re all finished. You know that. You know what the Crayton heir is up to now that he’s reappeared.”
Bake slowly opened and closed his eyes repeatedly. He’d managed to move from the primal thought of “Where am I?” to the realization that he needed to get up—but that was as far as he got. Though his mind knew he had to move, not even a finger would budge.
It was a strange feeling. His body was powerless as if pickled in salt, yet his mind was awake—or rather, could it even be called awake?
All he could do was breathe, listen to the incomprehensible voices murmuring around him, and stare at the faint lamp that seemed about to go out any second.
“It’s unfortunate for him, but honestly, it’s probably for the best. Let’s be real—we couldn’t do anything before because we were always walking on eggshells around him.”
“What about him? He’s as good as dead anyway.”
“Watch your tongue. He’s still alive.”
“Yeah. Barely alive. For now.”
With those words, Bake felt sharp gazes on him. Everyone was looking at him. Straining his heavy eyelids open, he rolled his eyes to find the source of those stares—but despite his efforts, his blurry vision couldn’t make out their faces.
“Did we inject the proper antidote?”
“Who knows? Those kids of his-.”
Creeeak.
The murmuring voices fell silent the moment the door opened. Bake instinctively turned his head, wanting to see who’d entered, but his neck had no strength to lift his head—so he only saw their feet.

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.”
