I Will Live for Your Death (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 164
Is this really newsworthy? Ilyd murmured to herself as she carefully read the newspaper article.
An entire page was filled with a report on the charity event hosted by the Empress, which had concluded successfully. Ilyd was sketched amid light strokes, holding the hand of a retired soldier.
At least one intention had succeeded.
The war initiated by the Empress Dowager reached its climax under Claudius. The more he relished battle, the greater the toll it exacted. To him, a single soldier was no more than a chess piece. If victory was the outcome, that alone would suffice.
But the aftermath became the problem. Among the survivors, many lived unable to escape the horrors of war. They had watched their comrades fall mid-charge and awakened in puddles soaked with blood. Simply enduring had already become unbearable.
The Imperial Family, having urged enlistment while promising care thereafter, failed even to provide proper protection. In a way, Ilyd’s actions were a favor to Claudius.
‘It might at least quiet their discontent for a while.’
Ilyd was still part of the Imperial Household—a benevolent mother tending to the people at Claudius’s side. That was all. Claudius had done everything in his power to keep her contained.
‘I must leverage that.’
After finishing her meal, Ilyd casually picked up a piece of fruit from the table.
A small apple. An unripe green apple comfortably settled into her palm. It crunched cheerfully beneath her teeth, leaving irregular curves and sharp marks vividly etched onto its green skin.
Having completed her morning duties, Ilyd planned to take a brief break and write a letter.
The recipient was Marquess Glouard.
Though retired, he remained a noble deeply beloved by the people.
Especially among commoners, calls for his reinstatement were growing louder. Ilyd intended to send him a letter of greetings and express her wish to meet him in person.
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.”
