If You Wish For My Death (6 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 24
“It’s been so long since we’ve been like this together—I’m really happy.”
“Me too.”
He’d been busy with the New Year’s banquets lately. Even when there weren’t banquets, more and more people kept summoning him, leaving him no time to spare. All thanks to His Imperial Majesty’s excessive generosity.
The Emperor had declared that since he’d held an engagement ceremony, it meant he was now a fully grown adult qualified to form his own household, and thus one of the representatives of the Imperial Family. Consequently, he was forced to attend all sorts of invitation events.
And always with that awkward partner beside him.
In the end, all that talk about being a “fully grown adult” was just an excuse—it seemed more like a deliberate ploy to leave them alone together. Those moments had truly been infuriating and made him want to run away.
“Lately, my younger brother’s been so busy—it’s left me feeling a bit neglected.”
“Sorry.”
“Haha, I was just saying that. Of course you’re busy—you’re engaged. You’ve got lots of appearances to make, have to watch how others perceive you, and I know it’s even harder for you than it is for me. You’ve also got to make a good impression on the nobles.”
“Forget it—it’s not like this was the engagement I wanted anyway.”
He had no desire to be liked or to seek favor. After all, he wasn’t going to inherit the throne.
Already, three princes with clearly established factions stood before him. He had no interest in power enough to shove his way through all of them.
“Are you getting along well with Miss Hardness?”
“Just… fine, I guess.”
“That won’t do. You need to get along properly.”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
this chapter was extremely sad. I like the fact that the author keep emphasizing on her past life, like not to let go her trauma. I i have read many fast pace regression novels when as soon as fmc finds love everything else just goes really fast and nothing else matters almost as if forgetting the revenge which was suppose to be the priority, so far loving this novel i hope they don’t ruin it.
I can totally understand the fmc she don’t want fake friends cause she already has a experience where she thought someone was her friend but they where only using her for her status. I mean its always hard to trust people when u been betrayed badly. I can totally understand her having trust issues.
she must be thinking something really romantic is going on between them. If only she knew what her favorite is scheming in that head of hers.
