The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
Helene’s soul was horrifyingly missing its head—though she herself was probably unaware of it.
She had consumed a great deal and gained strength accordingly.
“It seems she received the power of seduction in exchange—likely the ability to enchant others and make them act as she wishes….”
But it wouldn’t work on Meriem anyway.
‘What does Enrique intend to do about Helene?’
He certainly wasn’t ignorant of the situation.
He clearly knew but chose to turn a blind eye.
Or perhaps he was simply waiting until Helene crossed a definitive line.
It was a rather tear-jerking display of affection.
“She kept staring into my eyes far more than usual. Is that why?”
Meriem frowned, clearly annoyed.
“You said she didn’t answer at all, right?”
“She didn’t even greet me.”
“Well done. Though I know you wouldn’t fall for her tricks, I’ll still praise you for it.”
Imagining Helene desperately trying—and failing—to seduce Meriem lifted my mood slightly.
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.”
