Why Do You Obsess Even After Death (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
Delia sat in front of her dressing table, nervously biting her nails.
Her neatly manicured nails quickly turned uneven and unsightly.
It was hardly a presentable sight for someone whose engagement ceremony was only days away.
(‘They say Lady Niriel has returned alive?’
‘Count Niriel hasn’t left her bedroom at all.’
‘But didn’t she die back then? They even held her funeral. I thought she had an incurable illness with only months to live…’)
It was a conversation she’d overheard by chance while passing through the salon.
It wasn’t even confirmed—clearly just idle gossip born of envy as Delia’s engagement approached.
Yet ever since hearing that exchange, Delia had rapidly grown more miserable.
‘Referentia is alive? She didn’t die?’
Impossible. It couldn’t be.
Back then, they’d clearly found her shoe at the base of a high cliff. Delia herself had climbed to the summit just to see the height with her own eyes.
And that wasn’t all.
Referentia had been terminally ill—her life expectancy at the time was merely a few months.
Even if she’d miraculously survived the fall from that cliff, she couldn’t possibly still be alive today.
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.”
Ew, cheaters are always gross and utterly shameless
I think it’s referring to her ability to obtain the truth by touching the subject, or it could also have something to do with her touching the flower and it wilting immediately
