You And I Live In Different Worlds (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
If not for his smoldering gaze and glistening lips, Melie would never have accepted reality.
“…Edric.”
Feeling the warmth of his large hands covering both her ears, Melie looked up at the man who had just stolen her first kiss.
His golden hair shimmered brilliantly under the chandelier’s light, and his azure eyes held flickering amber flames, as though fire had ignited in the heart of the ocean.
Melie no longer doubted that those flames burned with desire for her.
But she wanted to ask.
She had so many questions.
So many, she didn’t even know where to begin.
In the end, she had to ask the most important one.
“This… this is absurd. Don’t you already have someone you’re supposed to marry?”
“Is that the only reason it seems absurd?”
“…”
“If that’s all, can it be fixed?”
Edric’s hands, which had been cradling her ears, slid gently down her neck to rest softly on her shoulders.
“I called off the engagement.”
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.”

“I will marry Melie.”

“Yes, so how was the all-night ball? Was it pleasant?”
I wish the hotel bedroom scene was a bit more steamy. *Sigh*
She had resolved to protect that last ember of love with the utmost care.
