The Dark Lord Obsesses Over His Fake Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 172
It was just after Johan had stepped away.
Because Pente Village was so remote, ferocious beasts occasionally appeared. They said this happened especially often during this time of year, when winter ended and spring arrived.
Because of that, the village youths had formed a self-defense patrol to keep the village safe.
And it was only natural that Johan, who clearly looked strong in combat, would join the patrol.
Perhaps thinking it was the price to pay for fitting into the village, Johan went out on patrol without a single complaint.
“I’ll be back so fast it’ll surprise you, my lady.”
Honestly, unless it was some terrifying monster, the animals appearing in the village weren’t really worth worrying about.
‘I hope he resolves it as quickly as possible and comes back.’
Having spent all day with Johan, his absence now felt even more pronounced. I couldn’t even remember what it was like living well without him anymore.
‘Look at this.’
Just as I was about to have lunch, I saw the meal Johan had already prepared for me.
Lunch, carefully cooked with ingredients available in the countryside, was impressive enough to astonish Ena, who took pride in her cooking.
‘He must have done a lot in his life.’
It was the complete opposite of my own life, where I had done almost nothing back at the Libertan estate.
‘No matter how I think about it, Johan seems to have suffered more than I have.’
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.”
She has this realization quite frequently, doesn’t dhe
What, so all that dangerous work she put in before means nothing? I can see why she never liked you.
The man was never yours and you lost everything else on your own, stupid. Remember brainwashing those parents of yours?
