Duke, You're a Bit Stiff (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 55
“Lost your memory, you say?”
“Yeah. She’ll be coming this way soon. I’ll need to ask her for details then.”
Cassus, his face deep in thought, grasped Artia’s chin.
Her pale, delicate oval face reflected in Cassus’s blue eyes.
Slowly, Cassus leaned in and kissed her lips.
Artia’s eyes widened.
Though startled by the unexpected kiss, she didn’t want to refuse it—
it felt like warm comfort directed toward her, someone living on borrowed time.

After all, Cassus suspected a definite link between the Imperial Family, House Harad, Artia, and those men in black masks.

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…
