The Savior Who Bites My Neck (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
Elaina had been the Former Empress’s possession, and it was near sunset when they arrived at the villa by the Hidden River, now belonging to Sinclair.
The villa was neither as lavish as she had imagined nor as extravagant as she had expected.
Standing alone, devoid of anything else around it, the villa seemed a little lonely, yet its charming shape gave it an unexpectedly warm appeal.
Right before the villa, several archways made of silver adorned the flowerbed, entirely entwined with red rose vines—so beautiful. And when the wind blew, the scent of roses tickled her gently.
No sooner had they arrived than Judith and Anna were frantically moving food and medicine for Elaina and Sinclair.
Yet they kept glancing at Sinclair, and each time, he would quietly press a finger to his lips as if telling Elaina to be quiet, forcing her to barely suppress a smile.
“The knights and soldiers will set up tents just ahead. There’s only one path up here, so there’s no need to worry.”
Schuler smiled as he watched the couple enter the villa.
“If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to call. Rest well.”
Schuler’s farewell was brief and simple. With those words, he immediately left the villa and descended the hill, leaving only Elaina and Sinclair behind in the quiet retreat.
Sinclair had already stood alone at the very back of the villa, before a corner wall.
As she followed him, she noticed wallpaper that subtly differed in tone from the rest, as if something large had once hung there.
“It was where the portraits were. Mine and my mother’s.”
“…”
“I had them painted when I was very young.”

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.”
