The Terminally-Ill Rejects the Approach (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Unlike his handsome and elegant appearance, Anselot’s dancing steps were utterly chaotic, missing every beat.
Within less than three minutes of starting to dance, I nearly got my foot stepped on five times, and I even began to suspect this might be some new method of torment from him.
“Oh, it’s my first time.”
Anselot replied in a perfectly calm voice.
“Your first time dancing?”
Anselot was the Prince of Luhenhart. Could it really be possible that a prince of the realm had never danced even once? Did that even make sense?
“The ladies of Luhenhart always disliked partnering with me. Believe it or not, I was truly a man with no popularity at all.”
Anselot deliberately furrowed his eyebrows pitifully.
Yet, despite his act, the corners of his mouth were clearly smiling, so it didn’t evoke any sympathy whatsoever.
‘That’s absurd. Given Anselot’s status, there should’ve been at least some formal dance partner…’
Suddenly, I recalled a dark rumor circulating about him.
‘Every woman engaged to the prince met a mysterious death… and the prime suspect was none other than Prince Anselot himself…’
Could it be… because of that rumor?
Though I knew it was baseless gossip, it still gave people an eerie feeling.
I myself had even feared him after first learning his true identity…
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.”

Hmm, it’s clear that Ancelot is in love with our Louise, so much so that he went to avenge her.- How despicable they are, forcing her to accept the scenario and controlling the people.
- Hahaha, he loves her but pretends to be annoyed. What a tsundere family!
