The Credentials of a Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
I barely held back a laugh. If I hadn’t been acting right now, I would have screamed aloud the moment I heard those words.
Lonely? Do you really think that’s a valid excuse?
No. Absolutely not.
I know. I’m not the warm-hearted type. Too much has happened for me to act carefree like I used to.
After Crayton’s downfall, everyone became my enemy.
To survive the malice directed at me, I first learned how to appear indifferent. I forced smiles out of habit and never revealed my emotions.
In the past, I took goodwill toward me for granted. Being the center of attention felt natural and enjoyable.
Until I realized it was only because I was the illustrious Crayton.
Those who had praised me and my family the most were the very ones who gleefully spread rumors and mocked our downfall. To them, my tragedy was mere entertainment.
Parties were thrown even on the day of my father’s funeral, and again when Hyung went missing.
Those I’d trusted as my closest friends coveted my orphaned year-end gown, which I could no longer afford. My father’s business partners rejoiced that they no longer had to repay their debts to Crayton.
At first, I felt betrayed—but only briefly. Soon, I couldn’t even feel that anymore. There were simply too many such people to respond to individually with genuine emotion. Merely accepting that fact was overwhelming enough.
My father was the kind who gave ten for every one he received. He often told me to view the world with kindness, believing that favors would someday return.
If I exaggerate slightly, there was hardly anyone in the Empire who hadn’t benefited from my father’s help. Yet despite that, everyone so easily turned their backs on him. That hurt the most.
It felt as though my proud father’s entire life had been mocked and ridiculed.

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.”
