To My Beloved, I Present My Exquisite Nightmare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
Laila, seated in her place, quietly closed her eyes. The surroundings were utterly silent—not even a mouse stirred.
Muuge spoke.
“To witness a medium’s spirit-summoning right before my eyes—it’s the first time for me, no matter who I am.”
Eustar let out a soft “Shh.” Muuge clicked her tongue irritably but said nothing more.
Laila herself had never actually performed a summoning before—she only knew the theory and its side effects.
When Laila was young, her mother had given her talismans to ensure she would never accidentally summon spirits. Though they couldn’t stop Laila from seeing ghosts, the talismans prevented them from possessing her body.
—”That eye of yours, my daughter—it’s like sweet sugar candy to them.”
Don’t recall your mother’s voice, Laila thought. She slowly let go of herself. An invisible thread—yet undeniably real—that bound her body and soul together… she loosened it, creating an opening through which another spirit might slip in.
A strange wind began to blow around her. Though the windows and doors were all tightly shut, both Eustar and Muuge clearly felt the sensation.
Suddenly, Laila’s eyes snapped open.
“Come out from there.”
Laila whispered. Muuge and Eustar immediately glanced around but saw nothing—not even through their monocles.
Still seated, Laila stared intently into the small mirror placed before her and spoke again, this time with a commanding tone.
“Come out, Wells.”
At that moment, a grayish, pallid man abruptly appeared to Laila’s right.

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.”
