The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 47
Even if my beloved returns only hatred, I care not.
To eliminate my rival and bear alone the hatred of the one I cherish—perhaps that is love itself.
That such a thought should arise in him proved that, despite having spent a long time in Nix, he was still a man of Kwan.
The ways of Kwan, the traditions of Kwan, the culture of Kwan—all felt far more familiar.
Precisely because of this, jealousy was harder for him to endure.
Meriem disposed of the assassins in a fit of anger and then gave a hand signal.
It was an order to clear away the filth before she could see it.
“!”
And in that very instant—fleeting as the blink of an eye—
An oppressively menacing killing intent washed over them, cold enough to chill the nape of one’s neck.
This was a presence unlike anything he had ever felt before.
Meriem, who sensed before anyone else that the intent targeted her specifically, showed not the slightest mercy.
“Disperse and scatter.”
At his low command, his golden pupils narrowed vertically. A wave-like band of blue rippled through his irises, now sharing sight with the Elemental King.
Quickly identifying those imbued with an otherworldly, inhuman power, he clenched his outstretched hand.
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.”
