Prodia had met countless students through the royal public examination over the years.

But there was one fatal problem with that exam.

Namely, only the aristocratic children were given the qualifications to take the exam.

‘I need to check the status windows of nonaristocrats as well. But this class society.’

In the empire’s class society, the proportion occupied by the aristocracy wasn’t much.

Furthermore, among the aristocratic children, there was no one who could completely eliminate all the accomplishments.

So she tried educational volunteer work here and there, but the results were the same.

It’s not like she could go around meeting every person in the empire.

And then, finally, the opportunity came.

Thanks to the Buma tournament, a chance to meet the youth of the empire all at once, without the limitation of status!

Inside the reception room of the Count’s mansion.

Prodia was sitting in the middle of a long, large table.

It was to meet the applicants who had come to see her.

Next to her, countless documents were piled up.

They were the applicants’ cover letters.

To see the status window, she had to face the applicants directly, but even the time to interview was too precious.

So she asked them to submit the cover letters in person, not by mail.

‘The applicants may find it a little annoying, but who cares? I have to see the status window.’

Prodia spoke to the servant.

“Tell the next person to come in.”

Then, the door to the reception room opened, and a young man came in.

“A, uh, I, um, hello.”

A plainlooking young man entered, trembling heavily.

“……Yes, hello.”

Prodia’s eyes narrowed.

‘I can tell just by looking at his lack of confidence. You’re already done.’

But she had to confirm. She activated the status window.

‘Status window.’

Pop[Dash]!

Job: Apprentice Knight.

Dream: Life is a oneshot.

……

Extinguishable accomplishments: 19.]

Prodia clicked her tongue.

‘How could the extinguishable accomplishments be even lower than our house’s James?’

Prodia, who had taken the documents, spat out a soulless answer.

“Yes, I’ll contact you soon. Next.”

For a long time after that, disappointment continued.

“Next.”

“Yes, thank you. Next.”

“……Next.”

Prodia was completely exhausted.

How could there be none?

She wasn’t even hoping for a total extinction of accomplishments now.

How could the extinguishable accomplishments not surpass three digits?

Prodia raised her hand to the servant.

“Haah……. I’ll take a break for a while.”

He nodded and left the reception room.

Her head ached.

What if she didn’t find a suitable candidate like this?

“Should I run around the empire then…….”

She got up from her seat and went to the window.

She opened the window, wanting to get some fresh air and refresh herself.

But seeing the bustling applicants outside made her head ache again.

‘Ugh, let’s just finish quickly.’

As she was about to close the window and return to her seat.

Suddenly, an astonishing scene caught her eye.

From afar, the applicants began to part like the miracle of Moses.

“Huh?”

A man was leisurely walking through the middle.

She couldn’t see his face well from afar, but it was certain.

With each step of that man, the applicants were clearing the way themselves.

Prodia’s brow furrowed at the sight.

“He must be the child of a noble family.”

It was obvious.

He seemed to be trying to cut in line by flaunting his status.

Those guys wouldn’t be worth checking the status window of….

That’s when it happened.

From between the applicants, who had parted like the Red Sea, a familiar name was heard.

“……Da.”

“It’s Irtis!”

Prodia’s eyes widened at that name.

“What did you say?”

She knew that name well, too.

Prodia roughly flung open the window.

Crash!

She leaned out the window and closely observed the man in the miraculous scene.

His face began to come into clearer view as he drew closer.

Blue violet hair, shining mintcolored eyes.

Halflidded eyes like a lazy cat, and the tear mark beneath them.

That face that no beauty in the empire could defeat.

Everything was as the rumors had said.

Irtis.
The mad dog of the Eastern Tower… No.

The Grand Mage, who is being called the next Tower Lord, was now walking into the Duser Earl’s residence.

(This is a time separator.)

A few minutes ago.

The garden of the Duser Earl’s residence was filled with no room to step.

It was because of Prodia’s strange policy of bringing the application documents in person.

“Why the hell are they taking applications in person? It would be more convenient for the teacher to receive them by mail.”

“You said it. It’s not like they’re conducting interviews.”

“Could this be some kind of test?”

“It could be. The teacher is an enigmatic person. We never know what they’re thinking.”

Anyway, all the applicants were lining up after receiving a ticket number from the butler.

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…
