When the Cruel Dark Lord Tenderly Seduces (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
It was truly strange.
How could such an accurate deduction possibly come from Layton’s dull brain?
It had happened with the Duke before, and now again.
Nellia was momentarily left speechless by a guess so sharp it felt like it could cut through veils.
She finally gathered her wits and spoke.
“…Do you really think you’re the only one who’s thought of that? It’s because the gemstone in the necklace is named Tears of Elena—Zigrit’s lover.”
“What? You already knew?”
“When I’m beside the Duke, I pick up things by chance.”
Nellia narrowed her eyes.
“I’m telling you this in advance so you won’t waste your effort—people have already tried everything imaginable with the Tears of Elena, and absolutely nothing happened.”
In truth, the Tears of Elena were indeed needed to find Zigrit’s Heart, but no one yet knew how to activate it. Still, she spoke so firmly because she wanted Layton to drop his interest.
“That’s nonsense.”
Layton picked up a book from his desk and abruptly thrust it toward Nellia.
The tattered book looked moments away from becoming a rag. Where on earth had he found such a thing?
“It says here that only the chosen one can activate the Tears of Elena.”

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.”
