I Decline the Ex-Boyfriend of the Regretful Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 105
At that moment, in the Imperial Palace.
“Is it true that Anette has left for the North!”
Serdis’s voice, having just heard that Anette had departed the palace the previous night, echoed through the Empress’s quarters.
The Empress, exchanging tea with Violet who had just arrived, dismissed everyone else from the drawing room.
“How noisy. Are you planning to openly spread rumors now that you fancy the Duchess?”
The Empress scolded her son for his lack of discretion. But to Serdis, that was unimportant.
Serdis snatched the teacup right out of Violet’s hands. The steaming tea, brimming to the rim, spilled and soaked Violet’s hand.
Violet calmly wiped the tea away with her handkerchief, as if it were nothing.
“Violet. Isn’t this vastly different from the promise you made me?”
“Serdis. Calm down and sit.”
Ignoring even the Empress’s sharp remark, Serdis roughly shook Violet by the shoulders.
“You were supposed to keep her close—yet you let her run off and sit here calmly sipping tea? You’d better explain yourself properly.”
Then, glaring at her, he sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs arrogantly.
Violet calmly straightened her disheveled clothes. She seemed accustomed to such treatment, showing no sign of disturbance.
“Serdis. Even if the Lady is aiding us, that behavior is unacceptable. The House of Sharpenan might take issue with it later.”
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…

What happened that caused Serdis to go off the deep end like this? He has always been pushy and obsessive but this is a whole new level of villainry. Hitting Annette and wanting to torment her instead of wanting her affection. I wonder if Violet cast more forbidden magic.
What type of twisted logic is this? ‘It has no enchantment on it, so any magic could be stored within it’, yes but currently it’s empty like any other jewel. Then Annette reasons, ‘if Violet is casting strange magic on Serdis, perhaps this enchantment could offer him some protection’. How is an empty or blank enchantment supposed to offer anything? So the author wants Hertian to be affected as Serdis is by whatever magic is going on when he activates the ring, yet the author couldn’t come up with a better solution than having our typically intellectually/academically intelligent fl have a devastatingly illogical thought process. Or was there an error in translation?
