Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night

In the Federal Empire, any woman who had reached twenty years of age must get married, or be randomly assigned a husband by the System. Thus, on her wedding day, the eve of her 20th birthday, Valerie Sullivan waited anxiously for her betrothed, Isaac Holt, to show up—only to find out that he was not coming after all! Trapped in this desperate situation, she grabbed the first handsome stranger she bumped into and got him to be her stand-in groom. It did not hurt that this mysterious Jonny was just her type—young and innocent-looking, with furry ears and a large fluffy tail. So, what if he seemed a little lost and confused? The wedding went on as planned, and Valerie was saved from public humiliation but only for the moment. After all, her marriage to Isaac was supposed to solidify the business partnership between the Sullivans and the Holts. In addition, her sister, Madeline, did not seem too happy that things turned out well for Valerie. Worst of all, Valerie found out that Jonny was an important, influential figure—Jonathan Gunn—the first commander of the Empire and uncle to the current monarch! Who had Valerie actually married—the sensitive, adorable Jonny, or the formidable, impassive Jonathan? Would this last-second pairing end in true love or divorce?

Chapter 475: Ajue, Here I Come

Unknown Bright Universe, unnamed star system.

Insect Nest.

Gu Jue didn't know how long he had been there, because Azure Dragon had run out of energy, and White Tiger was also out of power; they had both entered a hibernation state.

There were no constants like stars or planets to help him keep track of time here, and he had to be on guard against the constantly respawning Insect Beasts and Insectoids.

He didn't know how many had respawned.

Another woman approached Gu Jue, with an ordinary appearance—a very common kind of pretty woman.

"Actually, we are all very curious as to why you were thrown here. But we all acknowledge that you are indeed very strong," said the pretty woman, a deep admiration and longing in her eyes.

Gu Jue was sitting on a broken slate, holding a dagger, carving something on a palm-sized stone slate.

The woman asked curiously, "What are you drawing?"

"My wife."
