I'm The Lowest-Ranking Daughter Of A Martial Arts Villain (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 257
Back-to-the-water formation.
A military tactic devised by Han Xin, a general under Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, which led to his victory over Zhao’s 200,000-strong army. He deliberately camped with his back to the river, leaving his own troops no way to retreat—forcing them to fight with all their might.
It was inhumane, yet an immensely powerful strategy capable of overturning a disadvantage in military strength.
Why bring this up now? Because Na Rin’s mood was precisely like this.
‘There’s no place to run.’
It had been fine up to the point where she’d entered Ja Ha’s bedroom to avoid prying eyes and have a secret conversation. But the secret talk Na Rin had in mind was a strategy meeting to prevent a coming calamity—not this semi-coerced confession assault.
‘Though, to be fair, I did plant this seed myself.’
After all, it was Na Rin who had written in her letter, “There’s something I need to say.”
Back then, she’d truly felt bold. She’d even taken Hwa Ryeon’s advice and mentally steeled herself with the thought, “If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just find another man!”
Of course, in reality, she wouldn’t be that indifferent—but anyway, she’d gone through with it.
So Na Rin had thought she was ready.
But to her surprise—
Her vow, made without facing Ja Ha directly, turned out utterly useless. In an instant, Na Rin lost all courage to carry out her confession attack.
‘Maybe our current relationship is just right.’
It was frustrating. And nerve-wracking.

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…
Trigger warning: All men in this novel are yandere style.
