I Possessed the Wicked Empress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 50
The procession that morning and the current reaction were clearly different.
The citizens showered Valière with endless cheers and blessings.
Yet their warmth was insufficient to restore Valière’s shattered pride.
After all, all that goodwill was ultimately directed toward Henri, the beautiful and noble young emperor.
‘Do I really have to wear this suffocating mask and receive congratulations? Don’t I look stunning today? After all the effort I put into dressing up, must I really wear this stifling mask?’
Today, Valière was so breathtakingly beautiful that even she herself was speechless at her own reflection.
Plainly dressed, she appeared pitifully delicate, but adorned lavishly, she was no less endearing.
Moreover, with intricately embroidered lace raised high around her neck and jewelry adorned with large rubies and pearls draped about her, she exuded the dignity and elegance befitting a marchioness.
‘Do you think I rose at dawn and fussed over my appearance just to hide behind this ridiculous mask?’
She suspected that if the people or nobles saw her beautiful bare face, their attitudes might change—but since Henri, the nobles, and the citizens were all wearing masks, she had no choice but to endure her frustration.
Just as she finished circling the square and was about to return to the temple, Valière spotted two women on a terrace of an elegant building near the square, sipping tea gracefully with their masks removed.
They were Beleste and Liena—the very women who had humiliated her just yesterday.
The two harbored no goodwill toward Valière and, lacking noble titles themselves, had no obligation to attend the investiture ceremony, so they were enjoying tea at a nearby salon.
In fact, they deliberately avoided looking toward the square, unwilling to witness Valière’s show of arrogance.
Yet that very sight—two women chatting amiably with their masks off, not even glancing in her direction—pricked Valière’s pride.
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
