The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 47
Someone called out to Neris just as she reached that thought.
“Hey, you there—first-year.”
It was the voice of a girl around adolescence—frosty, yet still tinged with childish innocence.
There was no way Neris could have failed to recognize that voice. She turned toward its source.
Standing there like a painting was Natasha Grunehals, a teenager with ginger hair elegantly coiled atop her head.
Neris looked at Natasha with calm eyes for a moment, then quickly smiled.
“Yes, senior.”
“Why are you here so late? First-years are under curfew. Kids should be in bed early.”
Student council members regularly patrolled like this, catching students who lingered in school buildings past hours to play pranks—especially underclassmen, who without special permission weren’t allowed to roam after curfew.
Neris replied in an innocent tone.
“Wasn’t it reported to the student council? Sir Sheridan arranged a rehearsal for the etiquette exam with students today.”
“Oh.”
Of course, since Sir Sheridan had summoned students outside regular class hours, he had filed a notice with the student council. Hearing this, Natasha suddenly remembered.
“But the classroom Sir Sheridan reported isn’t in this building—it’s the one next door.”
“Really? I thought it was here.”
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.
And the female lead is so elegant and beautiful—I can’t wait to see this scene illustrated
Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
Can’t wait for next chapter
The ML is so considerate of his wife. He treats her with so much care and gentleness, even when she doesn’t say a word—he just understands her. He’s honestly so perfect, I can’t 😭
I really hope the FL can overcome these painful feelings soon. I can’t bear to watch her suffer this much. 💔
