The Empress greeted Helena as though meeting an old friend after a long absence.

“Come in, my dear. I’ve been waiting.”

Helena gathered the hem of her dress and bowed deeply in greeting.

“Before you, Radiant Moon of the Empire, I pay my respects, Your Imperial Majesty.”

“I, too, am glad to see you once more. Thanks to your calm handling of the matter, the luncheon passed without any incident. It’s been a great relief.”

The Empress praised Helena with a fond look, as if admiring something precious. Helena lifted her head and met the Empress’s gaze directly.

Her golden hair, naturally streaked with silver, was elegantly coiffed, and her understated, classic dress blended beautifully with the ambient light.

Moreover, she appeared to be around Christine’s age—but unlike the sharp-tempered Christine, she carried an unspoken aura that put one at ease.

If one’s life could be read plainly upon their face, hers must have been like a yellow azalea blooming in springtime, all her days.

“…It was merely good fortune. That my meager skill could alleviate even a fraction of Your Majesty’s worry is honor enough.”

“Then I must thank you for creating that fortune yourself. Luck alone means nothing without intention. I’m also curious—how did you find the courage to act as you did? Would you join me for a brief chat?”

“Your Majesty… I am overwhelmed!”

The Empress’s unexpected invitation sent a ripple through those nearby. Those who had long harbored ill will toward Helena were especially shocked—some even dropped their jaws in astonishment, forgetting to cover their mouths with their fans.

Among them, Christine was undoubtedly the most openly hostile. Since the moment the Empress summoned Helena, she’d been unable to hide the redness flaring at the corners of her eyes.

“My age makes it hard for me to stand long. Come over here.”

I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story)

Chapter 165 Chapter 164

Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman

When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…

One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.

Synopsis

During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”

Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”

With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.

Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?

He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
