I Had the Enemy's Baby (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 55
“Really! I was prettier!”
Antyone was so frustrated she didn’t know what to do.
She had been standing not far away when Clodel was attacked by the crocodile.
At that moment, the scene was so cruel and horrifying that her feet froze to the ground—she couldn’t even think whether the crocodile was attacking Clodel or someone else—and all she could do was scream and fail to run away.
Thus, she clearly saw everything: Clodel being dragged off by the crocodile like a broken net, the maid chasing after and kicking the beast only to tumble headfirst, and Kai An finally driving his sword deep into the crocodile’s head.
And when Kai An pried open the crocodile’s bloody jaws,
the woman’s leg pulled out from between its gore-streaked teeth dangled limply, mangled and shredded like a piece of chewed-up chicken, utterly losing its human shape.
At first it was horrifying and terrifying, but soon the naive young lady had already calculated in her head that Kai An would never keep such a ruined woman by his side.
She believed that, with time, he would either lock away his limping wife in some back room and ignore her until she withered away, or—if it concerned the honor of House Temnes—eventually send her off to a convent.
After all, that woman was merely the Duke’s adopted daughter, married to him by royal decree.
Publicly casting aside a wounded wife immediately would look terribly unbecoming for Kai An in the eyes of others.
Antyone had never once considered that Kai An might be treating her coldly because of Madame Berang, his fifth-cousin’s aunt.
She simply assumed that the usually calm and razor-sharp lord, though distant to everyone else, showed her slightly different treatment—and to her, that felt like extraordinary favor.
“I saw her. She was so skinny, like a skeleton—looked like she’d drop dead any second.”
“Really? That bad?”
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…
