My Mistress Became My Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 39
She’s not the Emperor’s consort—more like a cheap harlot. Well, since she receives money and all sorts of things from the Emperor, perhaps that impression isn’t entirely wrong.
Harold inwardly sneered at the Marchioness as he pulled his arm free from her grasp. Unaffected by her allure—unlike other men—the Marchioness giggled girlishly and covered her mouth with a fan adorned with peacock feathers.
“Indeed, I’ve always favored the former Duke Maximilian. Ah, should I now call you Earl Brayden instead?”
“Brayden” was an ancient word meaning “victory,” a new surname bestowed upon Harold through an oracle from the temple in anticipation of his upcoming title.
“I haven’t officially received the title yet, so feel free to address me casually.”
“Then may I continue calling you Harold from now on? Using a name feels far more intimate than using a title.”
“I’m afraid that won’t be possible.”
Even though Harold had clearly drawn a boundary, signaling he had no desire to grow closer to her, the Marchioness kept smiling as if she found something delightful about it.
“How refreshingly decisive you are! I often wish my son had a character as sharp and clear-cut as Duke Maximilian’s. It would be even better if he resembled you in other ways as well.”
“His Highness the Second Prince isn’t of House Maximilian’s bloodline—how could he possibly resemble me?”
Harold offered no hollow praise, not even a courteous remark that the Second Prince was already outstanding. This time, his attitude seemed to displease her—the delicate eyes, powdered as though dusted with crushed pearls, flickered briefly before settling again.
“You’re right. The Second Prince is the child of His Imperial Majesty, the sun of the Empire—it’s only fitting that he resemble His Majesty, not you.”
Marchioness Ariand smiled sweetly, as if nothing untoward had occurred. Others called her a fox with a hundred tails, but Harold disagreed. Foxes might be cunning, yet still charming; this woman was cunning without charm. Comparing her to a fox would be an insult to foxes themselves.
“Are you on your way to see His Imperial Majesty and then to His Highness the Crown Prince’s palace?”
“Yes.”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
