To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
“You rose to the head of the trading company and conspired with Johann to send me a maid who would remain loyal to me.”
“…”
“So you’re only appearing before me now, at the very moment the countship is about to be handed over.”
“…”
“That doesn’t make any sense at all.”
Nerea let out a bitter laugh. The story that had begun with Le Souer now stretched all the way to Heather and even into Alejandro’s childhood. Even she thought it was an absurd leap.
“Why go so far as to spread rumors that you were dead?”
“…Because if I were alive, I’d always be under constant watch by the acting count and his wife.”
Nerea blinked. When Alejandro’s face came sharply into focus again, he was smiling. From the corners of his stiff lips came words she didn’t want to hear.
“It’s all true, my lady.”
“…”
“Pretending to be dead, I became the head of the trading company, and together with my brother, we sent Heather to you.”
“…”
“Heather was the most perfect choice among those we carefully selected—someone who wanted to repay your kindness, utterly loyal, and, above all, one of the few maids skilled in handling medicines.”
Nerea heard Alejandro swallow the rest of his words. But even if he’d finished speaking, she doubted she could have heard him.

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.”
