Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 315
While wondering what on earth was going on, La Til first rose from her seat and stepped outside. Passing through the long corridor, she headed to Calain’s room within the harem and found, just as she’d heard, a commotion already underway.
“Our young master—our young master is so timid that he can barely walk properly without me! How can anyone possibly claim he returned alone? I was standing right by the door the whole time, and the window… why on earth would our young master leave through a window? That makes no sense at all!”
Tree, Gesta’s attendant, was sobbing uncontrollably as he fearlessly protested to Demon, Calain’s vampire attendant.
Each time Tree spoke, Demon flatly replied with remarks like, “You must’ve been distracted,” “He must’ve suddenly felt like going out the window,” or “He’s your master—go find him yourself.” To anyone watching, it was obvious his responses were merely half-hearted.
Moreover, Demon kept glancing quietly at Tree’s neck every so often, clearly contemplating whether or not to kill him due to Tree’s incessant nagging.
When La Til approached, several people nearby immediately dropped to their knees in haste. Soon, others in the vicinity followed suit, and even the central figures of the commotion fell silent and bowed respectfully.
“What’s going on?”
Frowning, La Til asked, and Tree pointed accusingly toward Demon as he pleaded his case.
“Your Majesty, our young master came here about an hour ago, saying he would have tea with Lord Calain. But since then, he has vanished completely from that room.”
“Gesta?”
“Yes. Yet Lord Calain and Demon keep insisting he returned home alone—it’s absolutely untrue, Your Majesty! I was guarding the door the entire time—if our young master had left alone, I would’ve seen him. Demon keeps insisting Gesta left through the window, but why on earth would our young master do such a thing?”
Hearing this, La Til admitted Tree had reasonable grounds for suspicion.
Tree glared fiercely at Demon, and Demon returned the look with icy coldness. Observing the sharp tension between the two attendants, La Til let out an inward sigh.
‘Even if I don’t appoint a chancellor right away, I still need someone to manage internal affairs in the harem.’
Then minor disputes like this would resolve themselves automatically.
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.”
