The Villain Has Gone Mad For Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 049
The underground prison was guarded only at the entrance by soldiers, with cells lining both sides of the long corridor.
Currently, Maxim was the only person imprisoned there.
Ordinary people would not have survived long in this place—they would have died quickly.
Because it was a deep space carved beneath solid rock, no light seeped in at all, and with no trace of human presence, psychological pressure usually caused prisoners to perish.
“Wait, Maxim. I’ll open it for you soon!”
The bars of the underground prison—terrifying precisely because there was nothing visible inside—swung open.
In just a few days, Maxim had grown even thinner, his hollow face shadowed by dark circles.
“Let’s go. I’ve been ordered to take you.”
Dragging legs that barely straightened, Maxim half-leaned on Cole as they exited the cell.
No one knew why Maxim had suddenly been thrown into the temple’s underground prison.
After Edan and Latieana disappeared, Hillstain Mathias abruptly ordered—with a smiling face—that Maxim be imprisoned.
Maxim stepped outside for the first time in ages, feeling solid ground beneath his feet and gazing up at the moonlight.
Cole led him to the priest’s chamber, seated him on the bed, handed him water and a small biscuit, and asked:
“What on earth happened to land you in that dreadful place? No one knows the reason. Tell me something. Hey. Maxim. Maxim?”
Despite Cole’s urging, Maxim blinked silently, drinking the water without answering.
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.”
