‘That’s problematic.’
Just as a clear path allows faster travel, so does a job without disturbances. To ensure everything goes smoothly, a caring person was essential to soothe Countess Blythe.
‘If Zen was a kind person, I wouldn’t have to go to such lengths…’
At that moment, Lady Saint’s thoughts and smile ceased. Zen could never be a kind person. She had made sure of it and couldn’t forget that fact.
“Anyway…”
Lady Saint mused, looking into the fireplace.
“Deborah will be a great help to your bride. And you won’t have to worry much about your bride either.”
The word ‘bride’ made Zen’s face harden.
Unaware of Zen’s stern expression, Lady Saint inquired in a gentle voice:
“So, when do you plan to bring Countess Blythe to the capital?”
Zen had swiftly arranged everything for the Countess’s arrival, including maids and a tutor, everyday dresses and jewelry, and even a special wedding dress. Not out of concern for her comfort, but because he didn’t want to waste time on wedding preparations.
He planned to bring Countess Blythe to the capital as soon as possible and get the tiresome wedding over with.
But…
Zen maintained his rigid silence, which seemed a bit odd to Lady Saint, who tilted her head slightly and asked:
“What’s the matter? Is there a problem?”
Zen took out a cigar case from his pocket and put a cigar to his lips, then held it in his hand, muttering under his breath.
“Damn.”
Lady Saint, noticing his twitching lips and wavering gaze, thought, ‘Huh?’
“There’s something I need to discuss with you regarding that matter.”
As Zen hesitantly spoke, Lady Saint’s smile turned cold.
Her intuition was telling her that something was wrong.
Deborah was certain she would be tossing and turning all night. How could she possibly sleep in a situation where she was forcibly held in the house of an obsessive male lead!
Yet, amusingly, as soon as she got under the covers, she fell asleep. She had been considerably fatigued from the moment she accepted Lady Saint’s offer until this very moment.
“Lady, are you awake?”
The voice she heard yesterday came from outside the door, sweet as the chirping of a small bird announcing the morning.
“Good heavens.”
Like someone who had fallen into a deep sleep on a train and missed their stop, Deborah hurriedly got up.
“Yes, I’m awake.”
“May I come in?”
“Of course.”
With Deborah’s permission, the maid entered the room.
“Good morning. I’ve brought you some water for washing.”
Waking up to a maid bringing her water to wash her face was an overly gracious treatment, and Deborah smiled awkwardly in response.
“Thank you.”
“I’m just doing what I should,” said the maid with a gentle smile. Despite feeling refreshed after washing her face, Deborah couldn’t shake off her unease. She dabbed her face with a towel and said,
“Thanks to you, I can start the day fresh.”
At Deborah’s words, the maid, with a soft curl of her eyes, spoke,
“Thank you for saying so. And, Lady, how would you like your breakfast prepared?”
“Anything is fine for breakfast.”
Deborah continued with an awkward smile,
“But I think there’s a misunderstanding. I’m not someone who should be addressed as ‘Lady’. I should have corrected you yesterday, but I was out of sorts. I’m sorry for bringing it up only now.”
The maid, with her hands clasped in front of her, looked at Deborah with surprised eyes at her sincere apology.
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.”
