To You Who No Longer Want Me (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 21
Seeing Marquis Verdeum for the first time sent Viare’s heart racing and fluttering, leaving her bewildered.
Her heart pounded wildly as if struck by some inexplicable, unpleasant feeling.
She couldn’t believe she was so troubled over whether or not he liked someone—it made no sense at all.
‘Me, over Marquis Verdeum? Impossible.’
Anyone who could peek into her mind would have laughed outright; no matter how she thought about it, it was utterly absurd.
She had simply read a deeply touching love poem today—and on such a perfect day for it—that must have been why, she told herself again and again.
As Viare sat lost in thought, her expression blank under the rippling breeze, a young lady seated beside her glanced at her with concern.
“Princess, is something troubling you?”
“Not at all. I’m just a bit tired.”
Only after seeing Viare’s gentle smile did the young lady seem sufficiently reassured.
Inside Viare’s mind, the questions “Me? Why?” swirled endlessly, leaving her unable to properly listen to the others’ poetry recitations.
By the time Marquis Verdeum began his reading, she had finally slipped away from her seat.
Though she knew she might have committed an unintended breach of etiquette, she had no wish to take back her actions.
It was contradictory—she knew her choice was mere avoidance, yet she still felt strangely relieved.
Feeling overwhelmed by unfamiliar emotions, Viare thought a breath of fresh air might calm her.
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.”
ARE YOU FUCKING DUMB?! just tell her the truth!!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
