The Villain Has Gone Mad For Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 023
Even though I knew those words weren’t meant for me, I instinctively flinched, my fingertips trembling.
Then Edan, who had been keeping his gaze lowered, slowly lifted his eyelids and spoke in a voice so soft and gentle—completely different from just moments before—
as he lightly stroked the tips of my fingers.
“Go wash up, since you said you would.”
Having spoken quietly, soothingly, he released my hand and jerked his chin toward the bathroom.
“Well, then….”
I’m scared. Is my heart trying to kill me? It wasn’t even harsh swearing, yet in an instant, my heart sank like a stone.
I don’t even want to imagine what would happen if I became Edan’s enemy.
If he ever spoke to me like that, the sheer intimidation might make me faint on the spot.
Until just a moment ago… a tiny sliver of curiosity still lingered deep in a corner of my heart—about what had become of Hillstain Mathias. But now, I truly didn’t care anymore where Hillstain Mathias had been dragged off to or what they’d done to him.
‘You reap what you sow, you bastard! Whatever happened to you, cry and regret it!’
I know Edan didn’t protect me because he treasures me. He couldn’t possibly feel affection for anyone except Ivy Violet.
Imagining Hillstain Mathias crumpled like a wadded-up piece of paper, I quickly turned around and ran toward my original destination.
Somehow, I felt that if I stayed facing Edan even a moment longer, he’d uncover my new escape plan.
My heart kept pounding noisily, thudding in my chest.
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.”

So he knew everything about her from the start. His pov is interesting.This way all her tricks look completely lame. The first impression of her is just so-so.
I hope he can make her trust him, because he looks trustworthy to me.

He had merely held hands. The healing power wasn’t exceptionally strong, but the
Does it have something to do with his power? Not only feeling pain, but also.. emotions, intent?But it wasn’t the pure, clean relief he’d hoped for.
I wonder why he was obsessed with her in the original story then.. 🤔
The excruciating, needle-like pain stabbing relentlessly through his skull—gone.
Such an immediate strong effect? With just a tiny piece?

I really don’t want her to run away. But for that he has to show his indifference towards Ivy, and that he won’t use her for her healing ability, and that he won’t hand her over to the temple… and… ( too many issues!)
