The Stand-In Empress's Wedding Night (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 19
The emperor has no shortcomings, but is there a way to repay his grace?
Curiosity and wonder arose at once.
Zelda clasped her hands together and answered him.
“Yes, please tell me. If there is any way I can repay your grace…!”
“Sleep beside me tonight.”
“And tomorrow night if needed, or until you leave the Shattonil Kingdom.”
His deep voice echoed in her ears like a reverberation.
“Earlier, I lent you my body; now it’s your turn.”
Rinel scanned her from head to toe.
“T-That’s the only way…?”
“Yes. There isn’t any other.”
The ice man spoke coldly.
Zelda mentally organized the situation.
‘If it weren’t for Emperor Rinel, I might have burned to death inside that storage chest today.’
Besides, being with him restored her body to normal temperature—there was no loss. In fact, she should be grateful.
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.”
Truly, the Grand Duke is such a slimy man, leave Zelda alone!!
Oh good lord, this girl is so clueless and empty headed!
Pleaseee!! Rinel is such a shameless man, I love it!
