The Dead Villainess Is Pregnant With The Male Lead's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
This time, her worry over Killion disturbed her peace. She kept fretting over the fact that he had covered her face—which was missing one earring—with his cloak.
“The scar isn’t small, after all. And since even the tattoo was completely erased, it must have been glaringly obvious.”
What if Killion was the one who had commissioned that magical artifact capable of revealing the original form beneath a magically altered appearance, as Onyx had discovered?
What if, from their very first meeting, he had already seen her true self and known her identity? What if everything had been exposed right from the very beginning…?
“What would happen then?”
Terrifying scenarios kept piling up one after another. She had deceived the entire world and fled—but what would she do if that lie were uncovered? If this enormous secret were revealed to Jediel, to Louisa, and to Hugo as well…?
“It’s too dreadful. I’ll never be forgiven. No one will understand me.”
She was afraid—terrified of being pointed at and scorned by people. And… more than anything, she feared that this time, she might truly die.
“An imperial princess who deceived the entire empire! A wicked woman who falsified history!”
“She must be punished! Deceiving every citizen of the empire is no small offense!”
“May that villainess burn in hell!”
She could almost hear the voices of people pointing at her and hurling curses. Veronica clapped her trembling hands over her ears and squeezed her eyes shut.
Then, their eyes—glinting with madness—stared right at her. When she looked closely into those pupils, she clearly saw the gleaming blade of a guillotine reflected within.
“Huh!”
Startled, Veronica jolted upright in bed, eyes wide open. Hah, hah, hah… She panted as if she’d just run a race.
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.”
