There Is No Paradise Where I Ran Away To (14 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
After repairing the carriage, they immediately set off for Rodinia.
Charlotte watched Rottermond Castle recede into the distance and felt the heavy lump in her chest gradually melt away. Once they passed the final drawbridge, Charlotte turned her eyes from the window, finally at ease.
Her gaze naturally drifted to Edwin before her.
It was no longer anything special—the way Edwin looked at Vivian. With an expression utterly devoid of feeling, he persistently followed Vivian, who appeared flustered.
Up to this point, it was merely part of daily life.
Charlotte observed Vivian, who endured the gaze of that familiar yet tiresome man. She had expected Vivian’s gray eyes—usually lowered with dry indifference, feigning ignorance—to remain detached, yet they lingered on Edwin.
Vivian had always been the one to look away first.
But this time, Edwin was the one who pulled back the curtain and turned his eyes out the window before her.
The shifting dynamic between them quickly shattered Charlotte’s peace.
When Charlotte finally tore her eyes away from the two, she was forced to fully confront the throbbing ache in her heart. She squeezed her eyes shut tightly, wishing desperately that sleep would come instead.
That hope didn’t last long. Charlotte slowly opened her eyes and looked at Edwin, who gazed blankly out the window. His cold blue eyes, entirely lacking warmth, glimmered under the sunlight.
Staring into those eyes she once loved so dearly felt as if time itself had halted.
The realization that she had only a few days left to see those eyes made her heart tear apart with a thunderous roar. She wanted to run away from this reality.
Couldn’t she simply live with him for the rest of her life?
Even without love, she wished only to see his face every day, to wait for him, holding onto the hope that he would return.

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.”
