To My Beloved, I Present My Exquisite Nightmare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
Whether from Laila’s affirmative answer or sheer excitement, Eustar’s expression brightened considerably. He dragged Laila around everywhere like an excited child stepping outside for the first time—or like an eager puppy.
Whenever Laila even showed a hint of interest, Eustar immediately took her to the nearest shop or stall.
What he cheerfully and warmly introduced to her were trinkets utterly insignificant compared to the jewels she always saw at the palace—candies heavily dusted with sugar or salt, or snacks generously drenched in sauce.
At a stall run by a lively young woman selling trinkets, Eustar bought Laila a hairpin. It was decorated with stiff blue fabric pieces stitched together to resemble a cornflower.
“Oh my, how thoughtful of you!”
When Eustar gently brushed Laila’s hair aside and pinned it in place, the stall owner whistled and giggled merrily. Laila’s face flushed crimson from embarrassment, but Eustar looked thoroughly delighted.
“Do you see that little altar set up over there? That’s an altar dedicated to the god Gilonic. People believe that if you offer flowers there and pray, your wish will be granted within a month.”
“So that’s why so many flower vendors gather here?”
“Yes. Would you like to try it, Laila? I know you don’t believe in gods, but just for fun.”
Laila hesitated briefly before shaking her head.
“It doesn’t feel right to pray just for amusement. There might be people who are seriously wishing for something.”
Eustar grinned and nodded.
Though exploring every nook and cranny of the bustling district, he skillfully steered them onto quiet, less-traveled paths.
As Laila admired the colorful fabrics and lace displayed behind large glass windows of a dressmaker’s shop, she suddenly grew curious about how well Eustar knew every corner outside the palace.
“Eustar, do you come here often?”

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.”
