Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 489
Dowager Grand Duchess Rubina, caught completely off guard by an unexpected summons, hastily dabbed rouge onto her bare face.
‘What fresh calamity is this!’
She had been comfortably receiving a cream massage with her bare face, confident that the king would have no reason to call for her anytime soon—when suddenly, the summons arrived.
King Leo III and Dowager Grand Duchess Rubina were in the midst of rapidly losing whatever lingering romantic tension they’d once held toward each other.
With the arrival of Isabella, his new and youthful consort, the king no longer sought out his “sister-in-law” in that manner.
Even their routine of sharing breakfast together every weekend had quietly faded away, and he’d entirely ceased summoning Rubina over trivial matters like missing her face or asking her to massage his legs.
Now, Leo III and Dowager Grand Duchess Rubina only crossed paths once a month—at the grand mass or during official ceremonies held at Palazzo Carlo.
‘It’s roughly similar to Marguerite’s situation back in the day…’
Yet Rubina harbored no real complaints.
‘Actually… this is pretty decent.’
She retained full authority over palace administration, and Isabella—whether because she understood her place or simply lacked interest in such affairs—never challenged Rubina’s domain.
For a new consort lacking any backing faction, this was ultimately a wise approach.
Ariadne of the Prince’s Palace also hadn’t demanded administrative power. Her path was still long, as she first needed formal recognition as princess consort.
And if she truly did become the official princess consort, that would effectively mean Cesare’s child would one day hold a claim to the throne.
At that point, Rubina would gladly relinquish all authority and retire to her son’s Villa Sorotone to enjoy her golden years.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
