The White Stoat Princess (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 97
“If they were beings you could get along with so easily, then why did they declare a full-scale war a hundred years ago?”
I don’t regret fighting for my country. But I couldn’t bear to see the meaning of the war I’d staked my life on diminished like this.
“If it had truly been an opportunity, they wouldn’t have gone to war back then either. Humans simply couldn’t coexist with other races—that’s exactly why war broke out.”
Anger surged through me, making my fists tremble involuntarily. Still, I forced myself to suppress it.
“Yes, if peace had held for a hundred years straight, someone might think that way. They’re saying it out of genuine ignorance, so I should just teach them patiently instead of getting angry.”
But even that meager patience snapped the moment Duke Hart mocked me.
“I understand that, from Princess’s perspective—the one who led the Hundred-Year War—this must be deeply offensive. But a great deal of time has already passed. Many things have changed since the era you lived in!”
Ever since we entered the capital, Duke Hart had constantly objected to every opinion Hadel and I expressed. But this time, I couldn’t let it slide.
I deliberately laughed out loudly—“Kakakaka!” Duke Hart shot me a sharp glance and asked,
“Are you mocking a loyal servant’s sincere counsel, offered for the sake of the kingdom?”
“No—how could I possibly laugh?”
I looked down at Duke Hart with icy eyes and said,
“Isn’t it ironic that someone who champions change so fervently is the very one asking me to defeat the merfolk in the southern port region?”
“Th-that’s….”
It was Duke Hart himself who had recommended sending me south precisely because I had experience dealing with other races. Any person with a shred of shame would’ve been speechless—and yet, he proved to be even more shameless than I’d imagined. Trembling as if wronged to death, he retorted shrilly,

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.”
