The Plan of the Terminally-Ill Wife's Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
Barbarossa, who had been sleeping until the sun reached its zenith, was abruptly awakened by an unexpected cold-water baptism.
Clutching his aching head—still throbbing from the cheap liquor he’d guzzled the night before—he sat up and saw a woman beaming brightly beside his bed.
She was stunningly beautiful. The corners of Barbarossa’s mouth curled upward in genuine delight.
“Hello there, Sir Barbarossa. Oh, wait—no ‘sir,’ right? Sorry our first meeting is like this. I tried waking you politely, but no matter how much I called, you just wouldn’t budge, Mr. Barbarossa.”
“Who are you? Chessha? Windicat? Are you the new waitress at the tavern…? Sorry, sorry. I never forget a pretty face like yours.”
“Wow, you really are as rotten as they say.”
She had striking orange, long hair and a beauty mark beneath her eye. Though undeniably handsome, Barbarossa’s smug, self-satisfied grin reeked unmistakably of decadence.
His attire was disheveled, and his tall frame exuded a potent stench of alcohol, as if he’d been marinating in a barrel of spirits.
“Oh, wait a minute… I’ve seen you somewhere before… Ah! You’re the girl who gave me flowers in the marketplace! Did you come looking for me to share a meal? What should I do? I’m completely broke today.”
Even with his groggy, just-awakened mind, Barbarossa effortlessly delivered his usual womanizing line.
“I’m not Chessha or Windicat. And besides, we’ve never even met before.”
“Huh? Then what brings such a lovely lady to see me? Meeting a beauty like you first thing in the morning—could today be my lucky day?”
Out of habit, the flirt reached for Anette’s hand, intending to kiss it. Though he’d long since abandoned knighthood, he knew women always swooned for this gesture.
“Oh my! For someone who’s no longer a knight, you’re awfully quick to grab a strange woman’s hand. You really are a hopeless case.”
“Just who do you think you’re touching?”
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.”

Or even explain the situation or apologize, just like that, bringing it up to her and forcing her to remain silent, agree, and take care of it. By what right does he do this? Doesn’t she deserve to have it explained to her before being shocked like this?
Or apologize to her for that filthy act of yours. How disgusting and vile! I truly hate such people. They should be castrated. What is the fault of the child who comes to such parents?
How disgusting are those who cheat on their wives! Why is it permissible for you to cheat and bring your child in front of her without any explanation?
