An Incomplete Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 30
Past midnight, a black two-wheeled carriage departed from Greathill and headed toward Longbon Street.
Diane alighted from the carriage, drawing her black cloak tightly around herself like someone desperate to vanish into the darkness. The alleyway in the slums was unnervingly silent, the moonlight itself veiled by clouds.
Hearing the carriage, the door opened from within even before she could knock. Diane slipped inside quietly, and the door shut firmly behind her, the sliver of light from the window swiftly obscured.
The old wooden door and window frames rattled noisily in the wind, as if a storm were rolling in from the sea. It was a chilling night.
Diane took a single step inside and wrinkled her nose, pinching it shut. The sharp stench of vinegar pierced her lungs.
“Blasted lot, wasting vinegar again. Come this way.”
The man cleared away cheap jewels—likely stolen goods—and vinegar dishes, then jerked his chin toward a chair.
“The goods?”
“You’re in quite a hurry.”
Grinning to reveal yellowed teeth, the man went behind his workbench and returned with a small bundle.
“Here.”
He unwrapped the cloth and laid its contents out on the table. Being glass, they were more prone to scratches and required even greater care than genuine gems.
“Well? Satisfied?”
The man smirked crudely, a long scar near his eye twitching. Diane’s lips also curled upward as she gazed at the replicas.
With gloved hands, Diane lifted the replicated sapphire ring and held it up to the lamplight. It was remarkably intricate—better than she’d expected.

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
