Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 205
The method she told Cesare was simple: absolutely avoid a direct confrontation.
There was no chance of winning in a one-on-one fight against Galico’s heavy knight order.
Instead, the strategy was straightforward: evacuate all nearby peasants and burn every field to cut off their food supply. Redirect his troops to block Galico’s reinforcements and food shipments from their homeland.
“…That’s sound strategy.”
Cesare couldn’t help but marvel—not out of politeness, but genuine admiration.
He didn’t say anything foolish like, “How does a lady know such things?” or “Why didn’t I think of this myself?” He had already completed, in his mind, every possible test of Ariadne’s competence.
It wasn’t logic that convinced him—it was emotion that swept him away.
He gazed at Ariadne’s profile, utterly smitten. Her high nose bridge, plump cheeks still soft with baby fat, and the cascade of black hair falling over her shoulders—all caught his eye. At that moment, even the slight gap in her front teeth, visible each time she parted her lips, appeared to Cesare as proof of her genius.
“You understand, right? The goal is to starve them into surrender, not to crush them outright. We just have to hold out until winter ends.”
Her cute little rabbit teeth moved as she spoke. Though her words were delivered with utter adorableness, their content was utterly ruthless. He shook his head to dispel his daze and refocused.
This year, the south had lost its harvest to plague, and the north was rendered uncultivable due to the Galico army. Now, with plans to set fire to the wheat fields, there would be no harvest at all. Thus, the grain she held would become the sole food supply within Etruscan borders.
“You’ll become a magnate, my lady.”
“Well, it’s just an unavoidable byproduct of the only viable solution.”
Ariadne shrugged her shoulders. Cesare thought to himself, “So shameless. Perfectly matched for me.”
“This magnate will sell 15,000 cantaros of wheat to Duke Pisano—for 15,000 ducats.”
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…
