The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
Victor greeted the Grand Duke and his wife as they returned on horseback.
“Did you enjoy your ride? I couldn’t take my eyes off Your Graces, even from afar.”
Victor watched with admiration as the Grand Duchess sat gracefully atop her noble black stallion, while the Grand Duke stood protectively close beside her.
‘Truly, they make a perfect pair.’
The Grand Duke dismounted first, then helped his wife down from her horse. Watching the Duke send a gentle gaze toward the Duchess, Victor felt deeply moved. He had known Kaeron since the prince’s childhood, and seeing him now grown and finally united with his beloved filled Victor with emotion.
‘Had Empress Dowager been able to witness this, she surely would have rejoiced…’
In Victor’s memories, Kaeron had always been a prince of sculpted beauty—but cold as ice, his temperament aloof and unyielding.
That such a man, who once rode without even the hint of a smile, could now wear that expression…
‘At last, he has found his match.’
Even Kaiden—the proud black stallion, who bore such a striking resemblance to the Duke himself—had willingly let the Grand Duchess ride him. Seeing Kaiden affectionately nuzzle Aidel after she dismounted, Victor chuckled heartily.
‘Our Grand Duchess is quite the masterful tamer!’
After all, she had tamed both the most difficult man and the most difficult horse Victor had ever known.
Internally offering her his utmost respect, Victor approached the ducal couple.
“I’ll take Kaiden to the stables. Please, Your Graces, head to the clubhouse and rest.”
At Victor’s words, Aidel stared wistfully at Kaiden. Parting from him already felt regretful. From the moment she’d first seen the horse, her heart had been captured.
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.”
Can’t wait for second prince to die . How dare he touch grand Duchess with his filthy hand.
I hope Kareon kills first prince . But maybe that’s not going to happen because of diplomatic relations between kingdoms. If at that moment aidel would have remained unconscious ,second prince definitely would have died .It’s unfortunate , that bastard should have died on spot.
I am blushing even though I don’t know what withdrawal symptoms is.
