The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
“Who are you looking for?”
Mary took the empty glass.
“Michelle?”
“Oh….”
Mary’s expression darkened instantly. Her previously gentle demeanor turned venomous in a flash.
“Don’t even speak that wretched woman’s name, miss. She’ll never come near you again. Master punished her severely and drove her away.”
“What did you say?”
Jane asked again, unable to believe what she’d just heard.
“What was the reason?”
“For treating you disrespectfully. She overstepped her place, but that won’t happen again—not now that I’m here.”
Jane blinked slowly.
Her mind was filled only with the question “Why?” floating around.
‘He knew Michelle was tormenting me, yet he stayed silent. Then why now?’
Jane was confused. She had just managed to cut away a small piece of her heart because of Cain’s coldness, but now, seeing him act on her behalf, she’d likely pick up that fragment foolishly and stitch it back together.
At this rate, even if her heart became completely tattered in a year, it would never truly disappear.
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.”
Sure later Cain wil regret everything he’s done to jane..he only looked the bad side from opposite but never looked inside
