Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 574
Cro opened the heavy basement door, summoned light into his hand, and hurriedly rushed down the steep stairs. The hollow echoing sound beneath his feet seemed to be chasing him, making him even more frantic.
The Emperor was cunning and crafty—he might have already set everything in motion during the brief moment Cro had looked away, which filled him with worry.
As he walked down the long underground passage, Cro pulled out a pea-shaped bean from his pocket and scattered it onto the floor. Immediately, legs sprouted from the beans that touched the ground, and they began dashing ahead even faster than Cro.

Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
