The Plan of the Terminally-Ill Wife's Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
“……Gone.”
He had clearly been right behind me, close enough to touch, but the moment I crossed the forest’s boundary, everything vanished.
Even the traces of the path I’d walked until now—completely gone.
His stunned expression as he looked at me in that final moment remained vivid in my mind. So did his outstretched hand, which sadly never reached me.
‘I’ll go back and apologize.’
I must have worn the same expression in his eyes.
How shocked must he have been at Rose’s disappearance to wear such a look?
Losing a beloved younger sister would be shocking enough, but then I vanished right before his eyes too. By now, it wouldn’t surprise me if the castle had gone into emergency mode, suspecting dark magic or something similar.
“Is this green light something I can trust?”
As the glow entered deeper into the forest, it grew steadily brighter and larger. It guided me like a beacon, and though I was suspicious, I had no choice but to follow it for now.
“Ugh……”
At that moment, I heard someone else’s breathing—not mine. A breath on the verge of death.
“Rose Temari!”
Beneath a massive tree reminiscent of the poplar back at the castle, Rose lay collapsed.
Her body was covered in green fireflies.
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.”

Hahaha, poor Annette! Why are you so greedy? Luckily, you weren’t crushed under the weight of money.
What kind of stupidity is this? Shedding a sick person’s blood is treatment? How can they do this in the name of treatment? How outrageous!
Poor Annette, no one trusts her. Luckily Darius does. I hope Rose gets better.

‘Remember the original story. Darius belongs to Evangeline Stockwork.’
Why does she insist that Darius would never like her? Isn’t she already defying the original work by changing the events?
‘In the original story, Anette was assassinated in the annex by Darius’s unknown
Who really could that be? If she was just the arranged wife and an enemy daughter at that, who could possibly plan on killing her?
