Captured into the Bedroom of the Enemy Emperor (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 65
In the lounge beside the banquet hall, Eden and Kalip played chess. Kalip lost three consecutive games, yet both remained so expressionless and silent that no one could tell who had won or lost.
Just like during sword drills, they moved each other’s pawns, knights, bishops, and queens across the board in utter silence, with sharp, decisive taps.
Patrick had been browsing books in the library when he discovered several volumes detailing the consecration rituals and architectural styles of the Karsik Imperial Palace and fortress.
With a serious expression, he pored over blueprints, examining raw gemstones and minerals.
Eden flipped the hourglass beside Kalip’s side. When Kalip finally conceded defeat after contemplating his queen’s position, the butler entered.
“Allow me to escort you to the banquet hall.”
As Patrick, Eden, and Kalip sipped their aperitifs, Har Chen and Patricia entered the banquet hall.
“Patricia.”
Patrick, about to take a sip of sherry, twisted his lips oddly and studied her intently.
“Oh, sorry—I kept you waiting, didn’t I? I wanted to ride to Panaho on horseback, but I didn’t have riding attire…”
“Did Har Chen make you riding clothes, then?”
That fox… He was teasing her, knowing full well.
Patricia shot Patrick a glance, then asked Eden about the outcome of his chess match with Sir Kalip. Eden merely gave a slight nod in reply. As far as she knew, whether chess or swords, no one could best him.
“I did help her change—lady’s gowns can be rather complicated with all those ribbons and laces.”
At the Emperor’s indifferent reply, Patrick answered calmly, ending with a chuckle.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”

Harchen really need to take down the Duke’s daughter fast. She’s starting to become a literally everyone’s problem.
If humankind can put their brain in anywhere aside from the head, I would’ve completely convinced that Julia’s secretly placed in her ass. Her cruelty and degenrated mind is really something else.
Uh-oh. So the arc when Patricia has her memory regressed is already started. No thanks to Juliass (Nicknamed the Leac princess, feels right after every horrendous thing she had done to earn Harchen’s affection in futile).

Oh Dear. This must be before Patricia have her memory regressed from the poison’s side effect on the summary and only recognized Harchen from their academy days. This is so awful.
