I Will Live for Your Death (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 39
Behind the ladies entering the Empress Consort’s Palace, a square object wrapped in white cloth was visible. Though she couldn’t see it clearly from afar, it resembled a large canvas or a framed painting.
‘Artwork? Could it possibly be a bribe?’
Lynette had never even heard that Celina was interested in art. Claudius owned expensive artworks, supposedly for the sake of the Imperial Family’s dignity, but Celina didn’t seem particularly knowledgeable.
Perhaps she was feigning interest in art just to match the Emperor’s tastes. Yet, the way they were bringing in this artwork looked suspicious.
‘I’ve never even heard rumors of her sponsoring artists…’
A single doubt flickered through Lynette’s mind.
Among nobles, it was reportedly common to secretly siphon money through artworks. She’d once overheard the Countess Melphiram mention it during her stay at the Melphiram estate.
‘They mix illegal assets with legitimate transactions—completely laundering them until no one can trace where they began or ended.’
Nobles—and Claudius—would certainly exploit the Empress Consort’s Palace in such a manner.
After all, an obviously naive girl had ascended to the position of Empress Consort and monopolized the Emperor’s affection, making everyone eager to latch onto her.
‘Should I look into this?’
Lynette dismissed the sudden suspicion with a shake of her head. She hadn’t yet made any progress on the task Ilyd had subtly entrusted to her.
She still hadn’t found the missing head maid from the Empress Consort’s Palace. Had Lady Derent truly vanished into thin air within the palace? She’d assumed the girl must be somewhere in the Imperial Palace, yet there was no trace.
Perhaps secret chambers existed within the palace that neither Lynette nor Ilyd knew of. Had the Emperor discreetly disposed of her without anyone noticing—simply because she’d offended his beloved Empress Consort?
Moreover, Lady Derent had no powerful backing. Orphaned and without a protector, she’d been recommended by Ilyd, who had long since lost her influence.
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.”
