The Princess Wants to Live (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
‘It’s about two lovers going on a secret outing in disguise. They encounter various incidents along the way, but in the end, they only reaffirm their love for each other in a sweet, harmonious way…’
The more she spoke, the fiercer Olivia’s expression became.
‘Your Highness, you look ready to punch someone right this instant.’
‘Of course I am! While I’m slaving away to the point of bending double—dealing with murders and… well, anyway! Working myself to death—and Lady Taren thinks I’m just merrily strolling around with you? It’s infuriating and unjust!’
Realizing immediately that she’d gotten worked up over something utterly trivial, Olivia quickly slumped her shoulders in resignation.
‘Anyway, just follow me without showing your face. That much should be as easy as eating cold porridge.’
‘That’s not difficult, but… are you really that upset?’
‘Huh? No, let’s just drop that topic.’
Olivia, who had been drifting through memories just moments ago, snapped back to reality at the sound of Ambre’s voice calling her.
“When we arrive, shall we start by visiting the homes of the missing persons?”
“What?”
“The investigation! Where should we begin? Just leave it all to me! Since this is the merchants’ district, I know the area inside out—and all the people who come and go here!”
Ambre pounded her chest confidently, her eyes sparkling brightly.
“Or should we look for clues about the culprit instead? We’ve already sent the information gathered by our house to the Imperial Palace, but maybe reviewing it again will reveal something new!”
Olivia firmly halted Ambre, whose eyes shone with overwhelming enthusiasm—so intense it seemed she might throw herself into the task wholeheartedly.

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.”
