The Villainess Doesn't Want Love (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 149
“But why couldn’t I wake up and kept sleeping all this time?”
Karina asked Pavel with a puzzled expression.
“Could there be something wrong with my body?”
A short while ago,
when she had barely returned from the Cursed Forest, the physician had assured her there was nothing seriously wrong.
Indeed, although she’d experienced full-body muscle aches back at the ducal residence, she had been relatively fine.
‘Could something have gone wrong with my body later on?’
She grew worried.
“To explain that, first I have a few questions for you… but before that, let me check your condition.”
After asking for her permission, Pavel examined her thoroughly with the Eye of Truth.
“Nothing particularly unusual… Hmm?”
He tilted his head in confusion and furrowed one eyebrow.
“Is something wrong?”
His reaction clearly didn’t look good.
Karina tensed up and swallowed hard.
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.”
A normal parent does this, but not every parent is a parent.
Without any respect for his wife. Whatever the problem between husband and wife, to embarrass her in such a shameful way in public! Bad husband.
Because of the injustice, Karina no longer feels any confidence from Jeremiah. So that it doesn’t occur to her that he loves her.
