No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 30
Meanwhile, Joslyn answered the summons without the slightest idea why Sediloi had called for her.
Well, it wasn’t that she had no inkling at all. Her fingertips still trembled uncontrollably from anger and humiliation. She tried to steady herself by tensing her muscles, but feigning composure proved as difficult as it had been in her youth.
“You called for me, Your Grace?”
“Jemero, you may leave.”
The loyal Jemero bowed silently and exited the room, closing the door firmly behind him. Sediloi, who had kept his back turned to Joslyn the entire time, finally faced her upon hearing the door shut.
“Joslyn.”
“Yes, Your Grace. Please speak.”
A silence passed. Sediloi seemed at a loss for words, having managed only to utter her name and nothing more.
Joslyn inwardly smiled in satisfaction, lifting her chin higher with even greater confidence as she looked at Sediloi. That wasn’t to say she lacked respect for him—in fact, Joslyn was the sort of person who would always place Sediloi above all others, even if the king himself were to visit.
Like a faithful hound, Sediloi thought, grinding his teeth.
“I once asked you, didn’t I? From where exactly does your loyalty to this ducal house stem? Do you remember?”
Joslyn blinked.
“Of course I remember, Your Grace.”
“Yet it seems you’ve forgotten my declaration that I would accept Ariante as a member of this house—as my own daughter.”
Sediloi’s voice was cold and dry. Joslyn concealed her trembling fingertips by curling them into her palms and replied with a rigid expression.

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…

I don’t know why, but I think she is a illigetimate daughter of Sideloi’s grandfather and that’s why “her father” told her that so she won’t overstep when she le learns about it. But she took it in another way because she doesn’t know the truth.
