This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 97
Ariel realized that Ludvian’s attitude was the same as it had been in the past. It was with precisely that gaze that he had won her heart, used her, and then… inflicted a cruel wound upon her.
Because of that man, she had become cursed—a witch who should never have existed in this world. She could no longer trust men, and love itself had turned into a cruel nightmare she never wished to dream of again.
Don’t be fooled. Never again.
“I’ll refuse you once more. Please leave now.”
When Ariel’s momentarily wavering eyes fixed sharply back on him, Ludvian grew anxious. He felt that if he just pressed a little harder, she would soon take his hand and follow him without hesitation.
“Don’t you trust me? Then I’ll swear an oath.”
As if to prove his sincerity, a crimson aura began coalescing above his palm into a perfectly round, bead-like orb.
Ariel’s eyes widened at the sight. Ludvian’s gesture, resembling a demon’s solemn vow, triggered a memory in Kaius—the image of her being violently repelled after touching Lucifer’s bead.
That lingering doubt about the incident from that day clearly had nothing to do with Ludvian; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare attempt a demon’s oath now. Ironically, Ludvian had unintentionally dispelled her suspicion, almost making her feel grateful—but this was precisely the moment Kaius needed to step forward.
“No!”
But before Kaius could act, a figure shot forward like an arrow and dropped to his knees before Ludvian. It was Kitra, shocked nearly to the point of fainting. This was something he had to stop—even at the cost of his own life.
A demon’s oath? Over a mere human woman?
His master had lost his sanity. No—gone completely mad.
“My lord Ludvian, please withdraw your power. You absolutely must not do this.”
Kaius had no intention of standing by as Kitra’s plea went ignored and the life-force orb in Ludvian’s hand only grew denser. Stepping in front of Ariel, Kaius unleashed a blade of energy toward the crimson mass.

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.”
