Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 55
Lady Grace’s annex.
Slap.
“How dare you, a wretch like you, ignore me?”
“I-I’m sorry, my lady. Please forgive me.”
“Get out! Disappear from my sight!”
Grace shouted, slapping the maid hard across the cheek after the girl had accidentally pulled out a few strands of hair while removing a hairpiece.
She raged like someone who had lost her mind, grabbing whatever objects were within reach and hurling them at the maid, who was the same age as herself. Still unsatisfied, she clutched her own black hair with both hands, tearing at it while stomping her feet furiously.
Nowhere could she hear any mention of herself, the victor of this round of the contest.
Praise for Arabella’s win in the first contest had reached her ears even when she covered them. Yet, the second contest, held barely two days later, had been completely erased from everyone’s memory—as if it had never happened at all.
Even more infuriating were the whispers among the nobles she overheard on her way back to the palace annex.
[“This time’s winning piece doesn’t seem particularly special compared to the other entries.”]
[“Indeed, I can’t even recall it the moment I stepped out of the gallery.”]
[“We expected everyone’s skills would be quite similar, but it’s still disappointing. It was the winning piece, after all.”]
It was only natural that her work—displayed alongside Professor Belpoey’s so-called “masterpiece,” which the Empire’s foremost artist had proudly boasted about—looked pitiful by comparison.
Even to her own eyes, her piece, which she had believed was clearly superior in the contest, now appeared shabby and crude beyond words.
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…
