The Plan of the Terminally-Ill Wife's Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
Even though I gave a rational explanation, fear of the current uneasy situation ran rampant.
“Expel the outsider and bring justice to this land!”
“Wash this land clean with pure blood!”
“Do you really need to see bloodshed to be satisfied?”
“Shut up!”
“You’re the one who’s loud!”
An angry gust of wind surged forth at my will, naturally silencing the crowd.
“No matter how much blood you spill, the soil remains red! Nothing can grow in red soil! Don’t you realize that, even as you set fire to this land every year?”
How simple it is to silence people by shouting them down like this.
“For 500 years, this land has fed you. Honestly, year after year, you must have felt it—the land’s strength is fading! Yes, that medicine truly contains iron filings, and iron filings alone cannot fully heal you.”
“You fraud!”
“Unless this land becomes fertile again and your tables groan under abundance, that illness will never be cured.”
Truly convincing people’s hearts is far more difficult.
“I’ll tell you a better way than offering blood. Change the soil. Go down below those mountains and bring back as much rich, black earth as you can to cover your fields. Since nothing grows in red soil, bringing soil from elsewhere might finally let something grow on your land.”
That is, if you still have any labor left to do it.
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.”

Oh, it’s infuriating! What ignorance and stupidity! They’re disgusting; they don’t even want to save themselves.
