The Only Healer, Ruela (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
“What do you mean?”
“It means a person of upright mind and spirit won’t waver under any temptation and won’t betray those who trust them.”
The Countess, having grasped Ruela’s meaning, burst into laughter.
“So you’re saying Miss Romnin is such a person, and I should trust her.”
Ruela smiled gently, her eyes softly lowered.
“But you’re the same, Countess.”
“Of course I am.”
This was no ordinary situation.
Though she felt she’d been drawn into something, it wasn’t an entirely unpleasant feeling, so the Countess of Rhine decided to speak candidly.
“As I mentioned earlier, a faction opposing the royal family’s governance is forming, centered around my husband and other parliamentary nobles.”
“Could you tell me who specifically they are?”
At Ruela’s question, the Countess of Rhine shook her head.
“I’m sorry. Since revealing names could put people in danger, I can’t disclose them to anyone outside the involved families.”
She understood.
After all, they’d only just met today—what reason would there be to confide in her?
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.”

What is this? I feel like someone is controlling them. Ugh, I hope he wins quickly.- I knew he’d turned her brother into a monster. What a vile bastard! But I hope he’ll rid us of Balder.
- Oh, it’s getting more and more interesting. I hope a rebellion breaks out soon.
