Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 290
“What on earth are you talking about?” La Til, whose eyes suddenly felt dry, pressed her eye sockets and looked at her mother.
“What do you mean?”
“When you were in danger. Calain helped you without a second thought, didn’t he?”
“Oh, back then…”
That’s right. Now that she thought about it, Calain had joked that the Late Empress had promised to support him as chancellor—but he worried it might just be an empty promise.
So you really intend to keep your promise! La Til nearly laughed out loud in disbelief. It wasn’t an empty promise after all.
“How is Calain doing these days?”
Although she hadn’t planned to be swayed by others’ opinions when appointing a chancellor, having her mother support Calain was a good thing.
After all, both Tasir and Calain came from commoner backgrounds, making it difficult for them to gain footing among the nobles. The Late Empress’s backing was Calain’s only chance to overcome that weakness.
Shait stared at La Til for a moment, then spoke firmly.
“La Til. You must never forget the person who helped you in your hardest time. Don’t forget that Calain, not knowing what the future held, ran out of the palace for your sake.”
“I understand…”
Since becoming Empress, no one had dared lecture La Til so directly—so, though she enjoyed hearing this rare scolding, worry crept in as well.
She wouldn’t keep lecturing me like this from now on, would she?

Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
