Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 491
It was completely unexpected that Baekhwa would appear here. La Til gaped at him for a moment before scrunching her face in irritation.
“Why are you emerging from Jaisin’s dressing chamber, Sir?”
“Oh. I went in to pick out the outfit you’d wear for the speech, and I dozed off without realizing it.”
How on earth could someone fall asleep in another person’s dressing chamber? La Til stared at him, dumbfounded, and Baekhwa shrugged his shoulders in defense.
“The Grand Minister’s clothes give off such a cozy aura. Every time I try to tidy them up, I keep dozing off.”
La Til thought it was utterly ridiculous, but seeing Jaisin’s awkward expression, it seemed to be the truth.
La Til tensed up and stared at Baekhwa. He walked over leisurely and stood behind the Grand Minister.
Once seated, Baekhwa placed both hands on the back of Jaisin’s chair and asked,
“May I join you?”
Of course not. Absolutely not. La Til’s subconscious screamed at him to get out immediately.
She swallowed her saliva discreetly. In her mind, she pictured an army of Holy Knights swarming in, calling her “Lord.”
Even if Tarium’s forces outnumbered the Holy Knights, if it became known she was Lord, the soldiers might refuse to obey her orders.
Not only that—foreign powers would regard Tarium’s collapse as a golden opportunity and lend their support to the Holy Knights…
‘I mustn’t show any sign of nervousness.’
La Til put on the icy expression that always surfaced in crises and crossed her legs comfortably.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.

After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
