Long Live the Emperor, Minus Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 49
“It seems His Grace the Grand Duke has been utterly captivated by Her Highness Princess Blanche.”
“I only saw her briefly during Her Majesty the Empress’s birthday banquet, but she truly stood out.”
“If someone so extraordinary exists, wouldn’t she naturally become the belle of the next social season?”
“Oh dear, if the Grand Duke’s sole playmate isn’t the belle of society, then who possibly could be?”
Thus, those present saw no need to actively undermine Blanche—after all, even if they pushed her aside, there was simply no other viable candidate to take her place.
Therefore, they chose instead to praise Blanche openly, hoping to win Liana’s favor.
“When will Her Highness Princess Blanche make her debutante appearance?”
“Since the Grand Duke will need a partner anyway, I’m considering having them debut together at his debutante ball. Of course, there’s still plenty of time, so nothing’s certain yet—”
“If you’re attending the House of Duke Martina’s gathering, does that mean you’ll be joining other smaller events as well?”
“Is Her Highness Princess Blanche interested in swordsmanship? If so, shall I arrange a meeting with the knight cadets?”
“Now that I think of it, a trading company I know deals in Ramore Kingdom’s specialties—might Your Highness be suffering from homesickness? Would it be alright if I offered a small gift?”
The young ladies from distinguished families, prestigious enough to be invited to the Empress’s intimate luncheon, eagerly showered Blanche with compliments and strove to forge connections with her. Blanche was finally receiving the reward for her three years of patience.

That very day, I thought tearing apart the Grand Duke and Lady Martina would resolve everything.
I had underestimated the children’s determination.

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
