To You, Whom I Shouldn't Love (24 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
How much time had passed like that? Cassel suddenly asked.
“Are you happy now, my lady?”
“Happy?”
“Yes.”
Though it was a somewhat abrupt question, Riena, unable to bear the silence any longer, pondered it seriously.
“Hmm… I’m not sure.”
She carefully chose her words.
“To be honest, I don’t really know if I’m happy or not. As you know, so much has happened in the past two months.”
The smile Riena had been forcing faded from her face.
“Losing Father, whom I always believed would stay by my side—that, I could endure. Of course, it felt unbearable at the time, but I overcame it and am still alive now, after all.”
What was even harder to bear was betrayal by someone she had trusted as family.
“But Mother… I knew she didn’t love me, but I never imagined she’d sell me off like that.”
Her stepmother had never shown her much affection.
There were times when Riena resented her for it, but as she grew older, she came to understand.
After all, her stepmother hadn’t married her father out of love.
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.”
