I Didn't Really Want to Do Farming! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 164
From the moment they heard the news that the golden carriage departing from the capital was headed for the Plante district, the princesses of this district were at a complete loss, flustered and confused.
They picked the most beautiful gowns from the dressing room and meticulously applied their makeup. All of this was possible only because each princess had hired informants who regularly delivered news from the capital.
Though they had to pay a monthly fee, the princesses considered it well worth the expense and never hesitated to spend money on these informants.
Whenever an informant brought particularly useful news, they even received extra payment, so the informants scoured everywhere with burning eyes, desperate to find fresh tidbits to bring back to the princesses.
Undoubtedly, the most popular—and profitable—news concerned His Imperial Majesty.
Details such as the Emperor’s preferences or his favorite clothing colors might seem trivial, but for princesses who rarely had the chance to meet him in person, such news was like rain in a drought.
The methods of delivery varied widely. Some messengers galloped in frantically on horseback after hearing a rumor, while others used trained messenger birds to relay information.
Since this was not exclusive to the Plante district alone, the capital’s administrators once again turned a blind eye to their activities—in exchange for the usual commission.
However, if anyone ever brought news even remotely related to the Emperor’s safety, they faced immediate execution or, at best, banishment from the capital along with their entire family, stripped of everything. Thus, the information they delivered was, in effect, rigorously filtered.
“They say His Majesty departed in a carriage laden with precious gifts.”
“It’s rumored he selected only the most valuable items from the imperial capital.”
“I heard he plans to visit every princess in every district, starting with the Plante district.”
While some of the news they delivered was accurate, much of it was utterly absurd—often because the informants, eager for payment, hastily passed along unverified rumors.
Yet the princesses couldn’t scold them or reclaim the money already paid.
Not only was it difficult to find reliable sources, but they also feared that dismissed informants might spread damaging rumors about them.
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.”
