The Deposed Empress and Her New Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
If things went according to Ikar’s plan, the course of events would undoubtedly change.
For instance, vicuña fabric produced only in small quantities in Benistan, Eremeyphite gems mined in Laina, or goods obtainable only in Vaschker.
What if Vaschker, Laina, and Benistan joined forces and exercised exclusive trade rights over such items?
Moreover, what if they severed the flow of luxury goods—available only from the surrounding small states already under Ikar’s control—to nations outside the alliance?
Since these weren’t necessities, no major inconvenience would arise immediately.
Yet it was entirely foreseeable that nobles deprived of luxuries would voice loud complaints.
And right now, Renev’s enthusiastic efforts to dress Patrick up like a peacock were only further encouraging such developments.
“Renev. Um… I’ve thought about it a bit, and isn’t this a little excessive? I mean… doesn’t it make me look like the son of some newly rich merchant?”
Patrick pleaded, gazing at his reflection in the mirror.
His jacket, made of deep blue vicuña fabric, was embroidered with large golden thread patterns, and his cravat featured five layers of ruffles.
But that wasn’t all.
The jacket buttons and cuffs were all intricately crafted from Eremeyphite gems, and as a finishing touch, she’d even added clip-on earrings that required no pierced ears.
It was certainly unfamiliar territory for Patrick.
‘Is it a bit too much?’
Renev pondered, eyeing the hat adorned with large peacock feathers.

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.”
