This Beast Never Sleeps at Night (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
Three days later, in the morning.
Zimmer entered the conference room, accompanied by white-clad W.G. knights.
The nobles who had been waiting for Christine began to murmur among themselves.
It was already the third day. He had holed himself up in Marble Palace for three days straight without moving an inch. W.G. knights surrounded the palace, preventing anyone from approaching. All but the bare minimum of servants and attendants had been sent away from Marble Palace, and no one inside was allowed to leave.
Rumors swirled wildly about this. Some claimed he had fallen gravely ill, others that he had transformed into a wolf and could no longer return to human form, and some even whispered that he was already dead.
“Will His Majesty be absent again today?”
At Isabel’s question, Zimmer sat down calmly and replied,
“His Majesty is currently reviewing the overall state affairs of Kalime. Therefore, I shall preside over the meetings for the time being, starting today. Please all take your seats.”
The assembled people in the conference room stirred restlessly. They had all known Zimmer since his days as Christine’s aide.
Now, not only had he been granted the title of duke, but was he really going to assume the Emperor’s duties as well?
The proud nobles of Kalime could not tolerate this.
“I heard His Majesty isn’t feeling well…”
At Isabel’s words, Zimmer smiled composedly.
“That’s impossible. Even if His Majesty wished to, he simply couldn’t fall ill. Surely you all know how resilient the Wolf Clan is. Now then, let us begin the meeting.”
“No, we shall wait for His Majesty.”

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.”
