The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 148
In a room where all nobles and attendants had been dismissed, Len finally grinned widely and greeted Neris.
“Neris! Have you been well?”
Only then could Neris offer him a familiar smile.
“It’s been a while, senior. I’ve been well, as you can see. What brings you to Maindlant?”
“It’s a service journey. Priests sometimes voluntarily leave their parishes to serve wherever their abilities are needed. Had I known you were here, I’d have come sooner.”
If his enthusiasm seemed excessive, was that just her imagination? Neris found his current puppy-like demeanor far more familiar than the saintly attitude he’d displayed earlier.
“You came to treat the people of Maindlant? Because they lack priests here?”
“Yes. It’s the duty of a servant of the gods.”
“And also a good opportunity to build your reputation.”
Cledwin interjected with an icy tone.
If his frostiness seemed slightly exaggerated, was that her imagination too? Neris tilted her head, then dismissed her suspicion—there was no real reason for it. After all, Len had just helped them immensely.
“That’s impressive. Not many people come all the way out here. How did you manage to arrive exactly when needed?”
“Really? Was I helpful?”
Len smiled innocently, but in a different way than before—a mischievous yet happy expression.
“Yes. Did you plan to come to this castle originally?”
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.”
The male lead being so proud of his wife is honestly adorable, even when he gets jealous.

Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
