Who Spent the Night with the Tower Master (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
Riley changed into a new dress and returned to the party.
Quite a few people were whispering about her, likely due to her sudden change in attire, but fortunately, no one openly asked why she had changed clothes or gave her any trouble.
“Where on earth did you go? And why did you change your dress again?”
Rivne scolded Riley sharply, who had vanished for nearly two hours after saying she was going to the restroom.
“I spilled champagne on my dress, and it took a little time to prepare a new one…”
“You should’ve told me if something like that happened.”
“I was going to, but Gibnen found me first and helped out, so I got delayed. Sorry.”
“…Nothing serious happened, right?”
“Of course not.”
It didn’t seem worthwhile to bring up her conversation with the Seventh Prince to Rivne.
“Alright then. Just don’t wander off from me without saying anything again.”
“Thank you, Rivne.”
Hilla had been thoroughly intimidated by Rivne’s obvious anger, but when Rivne’s expression softened, she let out a relieved sigh toward Riley as if to say, “Thank goodness.”
Riley remained on guard the whole time, worried the Seventh Prince might return and speak to her again.
Fortunately, however, the Seventh Prince never showed up for the rest of the party. As the event progressed, even the princes who had been holding their seats began leaving one by one.
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.”
this insider nature begs the question of how deep these gene pools can even be if they are only marrying other nobles.
and you just trust this girls word? a girl who told you she despises her sister and has no reason to tell the truth?
honestly she should be gaining weight purely due to actually getting good meals now. this through line is boring
