You And I Live In Different Worlds (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
Edric buried his face in the diary.
It seemed to carry the faint scent of Melie’s small, soft hands. He even thought he could hear the scratch of her pen.
Closing his eyes, he savored the traces she had left behind and whispered desperately,
“Melie, come back. Please….”

After a busy morning, the maid Lisa decided to catch her breath and headed toward the break room with her colleagues.
Just as they were about to round the corner, a large figure rushed past them, startling the group into an abrupt halt.
The person who had brushed past them was none other than Edric.
He was slowly making his way down the corridor, one hand braced against the wall.
Ever since he’d broken his glasses, he’d been practically blind.
His eyesight had never been great to begin with, but it hadn’t been this bad…
Just a few days ago, he’d missed a step and tumbled badly down the stairs.
The loud crash had made everyone drop what they were doing and rush over. There they found Edric lying motionless on the stair landing, staring blankly at the ceiling as if taking a rest—blood trickling from his head.
His mistakes at work had become frequent. He’d omit crucial reports or fail to classify confidential documents properly, letting everyone see them. These were fatal errors the old Edric would never have made.
Gradually, he was removed from important duties. Not only was he excluded from official palace events, but even the development rights to the outer provinces—originally granted to him—had been transferred to Marquis Bailey.
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.”
