Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 105
“Judging by how stiff you are, it seems the Duke never even told you about the rumors circulating through the Duchy.”
Olivia gave no reply. Leopold smiled faintly at her stillness—she didn’t even step back as he approached.
Just five steps.
The narrowed distance was more than satisfying—it was overwhelming. His pity lasted only a moment.
He had never seen Olivia cry. All he’d ever witnessed were her trembling voice and the sorrowful expression spreading across her face. It would have been alright if she cried.
Now, all he needed to do was fill her most vulnerable gap himself.
“Then I’ll tell you, Olivia.”
In a voice as sweet as honey, he began stripping away the lies she’d believed.
“You must already know the story of the late Duke of Bicander—the blind warmonger who lost the war.”
As his elegant voice continued, her green eyes stared blankly at Leopold.
“But you probably didn’t know that the late Duchess—the princess of a fallen kingdom—came here personally to this imperial palace to offer reparations for defeat.”
Just that shared gaze sent a chilling thrill down his spine. A sense of calm spread through him, as if he’d reclaimed something rightfully his.
Leopold slowly licked his lips as he looked at her emerald eyes sparkling like jewels.
If he used the sordid tale he’d heard from the Empress, he could easily turn the situation around. The story, carefully crafted with the most provocative words, was more than enough to stir Olivia’s emotions.
“His Imperial Majesty only asked for a small price for the sake of the ducal house’s future, but the Duchess must have thought differently.”
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…
