Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 80
The imperial palace at dusk.
The carriage halted before the banquet hall. Olivia inhaled sharply, held her breath, then exhaled quietly. Even when she’d first arrived in the capital, she’d felt oddly tense—but never this queasy.
“Are you very nervous?”
She’d tried her best not to show it. Just as Olivia was about to deny Edwin’s gentle concern, their eyes met. The habitual “No” died on her lips.
That gaze, waiting expectantly upon her.
His appearance today, clad in an especially bright dress uniform.
His hair swept to one side—so handsome, so thrilling it made her heart ache.
Olivia couldn’t tear her eyes away from that lingering look. Then, from somewhere, came a faint jingle—*ding*. It sounded like a bell. Olivia snapped back to her senses and smiled, feigning nonchalance.
“…Saying I’m not nervous at all would be a lie.”
Edwin, who had been silently watching her, let out a soft, low hum. He traced his jawline with his index finger, then cast an indifferent glance toward the banquet hall. Turning back to Olivia, he offered a deliberately playful suggestion.
“Since the Heperti delegation won’t attend the banquet until tomorrow anyway—how about it? Shall we go on a date somewhere else, even now?”
It was a sweet invitation—just tempting enough.
“Hmm… I’m quite tempted, but I can’t.”
Unfortunately, Olivia had already seen herself—in the mirror.
“As you can see, I’ve put my heart and soul into preparing for this banquet today.”
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…
