Who Regressed the Timekeeper? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
At the unexpected words, Amy froze in place. Benedict downed his drink in one gulp and set the glass down. Then, propping his chin in his hand, he calmly stared at Amy and spoke.
“After barely surviving near-death and finally becoming Crown Prince, everyone I knew changed beyond recognition.”
“Oh….”
Amy’s expression darkened. It wasn’t uncommon for people to change drastically once they gained wealth and status—the saying went that position shapes the person.
His loneliness felt so vivid, so tangible, it ached in her chest. Benedict stared intently at his empty glass before quirking one corner of his mouth upward.
“But you still treat me just as dismissively as you did when we were kids. That’s what feels comfortable.”
“…….”
“So maybe… I mistook that for affection.”
“!”
Amy jerked her head up, and Benedict quickly turned his face away, seemingly embarrassed. He swirled his glass and muttered awkwardly,
“So don’t avoid me. Just be like you used to. Okay?”
After a brief hesitation, Amy casually replied,
“If it’s about treating you rudely, I’ve got plenty of confidence.”
“Yeah, exactly that.”
Benedict chuckled softly. Their eyes met. The awkward tension that had hovered between them vanished, and they were once again the determined little girl and the solitary boy who’d stubbornly carved out his own life long ago, looking at each other.

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.”
