No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 155
“What—what do you mean? Ariante is here. And… and Ariante is a smart child too. She’s only seven, yet she knows so much.”
Swan tried to argue in Ariante’s defense, but even to his own ears, his voice sounded weak.
He wasn’t even defending Ariante—instead, he felt as if he were making a ridiculous excuse after committing some wrongdoing, his face burning with shame.
Jocelyn shrewdly perceived Swan’s sense of humiliation and helplessness. Like a snake scenting a frog, all her senses flashed with a repulsively sharp keenness.
She spoke.
“You say the young lady is clever?”
Swan recognized the subtle mockery laced in Jocelyn’s tone. Yet, despite being quick-witted, he was still only a ten-year-old boy and had no idea how to deal with Jocelyn. Among the Gledon marquisate’s servants, no one else threatened him the way she did.
He knew Jocelyn’s excessive politeness was entirely feigned, but being still so young, Swan didn’t know how to point out that contradiction. All he could do was continue his feeble protest.
“Ariante… is smart. Really. Master Ash Loren always praises her like that. She’s good at memorizing things and good at calculations too. Don’t you know that, Jocelyn?”
At that, Jocelyn let out an audible snort. Just as Swan’s mouth fell open in shock at such rudeness—unthinkable toward a noble lady—she spoke as though spitting out venom.
“No matter how clever she may be, that’s all there is to it. She can’t possibly compare to you, young master, who carry such noble blood. It’s simply pitiful that you don’t even realize this yourself.”
Swan frowned and stared intently at Jocelyn.
“What do you mean? Ariante… is far more noble than I am. After all, she’s a descendant of a ducal house.”
Jocelyn turned her head slightly, a mocking smile playing at her lips. Swan hated seeing that expression—it conjured a dreadful image in his mind, as if Jocelyn’s neck might stretch out like a snake’s at any moment.
Jocelyn spoke.
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…
