At the End of Ruin, There You Are (56 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 105
The floor, covered only by a single carpet, was cold. It was summer now, so there was no heating. Caella was being punished before the maids and knights, forced to kneel. Her knees were starting to ache, and her calves tingled.
‘Not so bad, is it?’
A fleeting thought made Caella chuckle softly. The maid serving Marchioness Schroze immediately shot her a sharp glare, but since she’d laughed on purpose, she didn’t care.
Marchioness Schroze felt inferior about her lack of education, yet she had no intention of overcoming that insecurity through further study or effort. Consequently, she acted recklessly out of ignorance. No matter that she was the Crown Prince’s mother—she was not the ‘Mother Empress.’ That title belonged solely to the Empress.
‘So the marchioness thought herself equal to the Empress.’
That was why she had gleefully added every extravagant decoration to the engagement ceremony, trying to make everything more splendid. After all, this wasn’t just the Crown Prince’s engagement—it was also a historic occasion where she would officially assume the role of the Crown Prince’s mother.
Blinded by her delusions, she had even forced the Grand Duchess to kneel. But kneeling was so ordinary to Caella now that it didn’t even feel like punishment anymore.
Perhaps due to her growing tolerance for humiliation and pain, even shame had vanished. She had become that shameless.
Once a noble aristocrat, she now felt nothing, even when treated as someone lowly. She even wanted to laugh. She was genuinely curious how Marchioness Schroze would manage to fix this mess.
‘I’m drifting further and further from nobility.’
It was only natural—she’d endured every conceivable humiliation in her past life, her dignity and pride utterly shattered, ending her days imprisoned as a criminal. Ordinary matters couldn’t shake her anymore. Except Pheon.
Sir Renard looked ready to rush straight to Pheon, but Caella stopped him with a glance. This would get out anyway.
Though sensation was slowly fading from her knees, she decided to ponder the issue troubling her most these days.
Her thoughts kept drifting back—to the past, to Pheon. She still hadn’t figured out how she should treat her husband.
‘It’s always His Highness—no, the Emperor—who’s the problem. Always… even now.’
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
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…
