The Terminally-Ill Duke Clings to Me Every Night (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
“What on earth did I do…?”
Leah wished she could erase everything that had happened last night. Of all the rooms she could have stumbled into while searching for Akia, it had to be Edward’s bedroom.
“Sigh…”
She let out a heavy sigh as that dizzying memory resurfaced once again.
Leah had finished breakfast earlier than usual this morning, intending to avoid running into Edward—she’d felt too embarrassed to face him—and had just stepped out into the garden.
Her stifled heart felt somewhat relieved in the cool breeze. Though early winter had long set in, Leah hadn’t had the energy to notice the changing season.
Ever since receiving the Emperor’s proposal letter, every day with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor felt like being caught in a storm.
Even though this was Duke Bellarus’s territory, she couldn’t afford to let her guard down.
‘I understand why His Grace is so sensitive.’
Having lived her whole life as if constantly pursued by such people, how could he not be? Leah sighed deeply once more as she briefly let her thoughts wander elsewhere.
“But I can’t keep avoiding Lord Edward…”
She also needed to ask his forgiveness for the rudeness of barging into his room in the middle of the night.
Frustrated, Leah shook her head. Just as she stood in the center of the garden, gazing up at the sky while the crisp scent of grass tickled her nose—
She heard footsteps approaching from behind. Thinking it might be Akia coming to find her, Leah turned around with a gentle smile.
But oh no—she’d mistaken him for Akia, and there stood Edward, facing her directly.

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.”
