He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 55
‘Did he come here knowing I was here?’
Laila straightened her trembling back, stiff with pain, and secretly glanced up at Adrian. But Adrian, who had just entered the imperial palace garden, didn’t spare her even a single look.
Instead, he took a step toward the Fourth Prince and spoke.
“My slave—whether or not she’s sent to Cliffhill…”
At the word “slave,” Laila shrank back again. Her heart pounded wildly—because of Adrian’s voice, sharp as a blade.
“The final decision rests with me. So why do you, of all people, dare to mention it?”
Adrian stopped just inches away and looked down at the Fourth Prince from beneath lowered lids.
Immediately, the Fourth Prince—who had just been taking out his frustrations so smugly on Laila—bent his waist in submission.
“I’m sorry, Elder Brother.”
The Fourth Prince, who had strutted with such arrogance before Laila, now tucked his tail between his legs at Adrian’s single remark. What followed sounded like an excuse.
“I never meant to overstep your authority, Elder Brother. It’s just that this slave…”
“So you pretended to be obedient, but were preparing to stab me in the back all along?”
“That’s impossible! Never! I’d never—”
Under Adrian’s pressure, the Fourth Prince stammered, his face flushed crimson. Adrian looked down at him with eyes that viewed him as utterly useless, then leaned close to whisper in his ear.
“Don’t get arrogant just because you’re the Empress’s child. Shall I revoke all your maternal family’s business rights right now? I seem to recall lending them quite generously.”

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…
