My Mistress Became My Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 30
Dillon returned just before lunchtime in the late morning, having gone out in light training attire at dawn. After finishing all his business in the capital and returning to Cardin, he practiced swordsmanship daily in a nearby open field—fearing his peers would mercilessly tease him if his swordsmanship had declined.
Returning from another relentless session of swinging his sword today, Dillon was drenched in sweat from head to toe. Eager to wash up and change clothes immediately, he marched straight ahead without paying attention to any commotion around him—until someone grabbed his arm from behind.
“……!”
Startled, Dillon instinctively twisted the other person’s arm in reverse. He hesitated mid-motion as he pinned the figure down, realizing it was clearly a young boy who hadn’t even hit puberty, let alone undergone his coming-of-age ceremony.
Still, he didn’t release the boy’s arm. He’d learned through painful experience that underestimating someone just because they were young could backfire spectacularly—so he couldn’t afford to lower his guard.
“Who are you?”
“Ah, that hurts!”
The boy’s pained, high-pitched voice sharply echoed through the hall. A few nearby guests turned to look, and a staff member in a uniform befitting a high-class inn hurried over, startled.
“Sir! This child was sent to deliver a letter to you!”
“…A letter?”
“Yes! I was asked to give you this letter!”
The boy didn’t seem to be lying, and the staff member had vouched for his identity—so Dillon finally loosened his tense guard and released the boy’s arm.
The boy, rubbing his sore arm—clearly hurt from Dillon’s grip—had tears welling in his eyes. Seeing the boy’s face, Dillon felt a pang of guilt and scratched his damp hair as he apologized.
“Sorry. Since I work with swords, I’ve become overly cautious… I didn’t mean to hurt you, so don’t take it too personally.”
He would’ve given the boy a shilling if he’d had even one on him, but unfortunately, his hands were empty. As he debated whether to take the boy to his room to fetch money, the boy quickly wiped his reddened eyes with the back of his hand and nodded.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
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.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
