Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 223
La Til returned to the capital of Tariyum exactly three days and three hours later.
Everything had gone according to plan.
This time, having already experienced the false emperor incident, she had prepared thoroughly beforehand, so there were no issues on that front either.
“I’ll go ahead and change clothes, then head to the master’s bedroom. I’ll enter under the pretense of nursing the master, then slip out through the window and help the master back inside—no one will realize the master ever left.”
While Calain went ahead to the emperor’s chamber, pretending to tend to La Til, in order to bring her back into her bedroom without leaving a trace,
La Til stood in the garden, gazing up at her bedroom window far above, lost in thought about how things would unfold with Girgol.
She had wanted to conceal the possibility that she might be the Lord and still learn various things from Girgol—after all, he was the one who had trained all those Adversaries who had emerged victorious, so there was nothing to lose by learning from him.
Didn’t knowing your enemy better always increase your chance of victory?
But… Sadi had vanished. La Til worried how—or even whether—her relationship with Girgol could continue, or if it had already been severed beyond repair.
‘But I can’t just tell Girgol outright that Sadi’s face was fake from the start. That would expose the fact that Sadi never truly existed.’
As she pondered this unsolvable dilemma for a long while, a sound came from above—the window opening.
La Til looked up and saw the tightly shut window swing open, followed by a head poking out. It was Calain.
When La Til waved, Calain gave her a bland smile in return and gestured for her to step back slightly.
La Til moved backward, and in the blink of an eye, Calain leaped nimbly out the window.

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!
