Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 69
There was no reason to refuse when he offered to answer what she had asked. Ophelia nodded.
Salode bowed slightly in thanks for her permission and began to speak.
“When Aglante is divided into two parts with Edegroon as the boundary, laws concerning regions below Edegroon may be enacted at the King’s discretion, but any legislation affecting Edegroon and the northern territories cannot be passed without approval from the Elder Council.”
Ophelia recalled the book she had read on the day Idren gave her the Galisa Governor’s commission. Though he had dismissed it as dull, that very Aglante history text detailed several instances where the royal family and the Elder Council had clashed over passing legislation.
Salode continued.
“Although Nevel possesses fertile farmland, the lands owned by the royal family in the south are actually superior. Yet Nevel wields considerable influence in Edegroon because, under a law enacted during the late King’s reign, harvests from Nevel must be purchased first in Edegroon and all lands north of it.”
In other words, Nevel held a monopoly over the domestic market in the north.
Considering that growing ordinary grains in Edegroon and beyond was difficult, Nevel’s harvests were guaranteed to sell out without any competition.
Ophelia understood just how economically advantageous that was. Not having to compete in the market meant maximizing one’s own profit.
She spoke to Salode, who had fallen silent as if granting her time to ponder.
“To overturn that law, we’d need to propose a new bill and obtain approval from the Elder Council—but with Nevel holding three seats, it won’t be easy.”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“Then what allowed Nevel to secure three council seats?”
If she could uncover the reason, she might find a way to take those seats away.
Of course, Idren had said he would handle domestic affairs himself, but Ophelia felt it wouldn’t hurt to think this through on her own.

One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
