Surviving as the Adopted Daughter of the Genius Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 30
“When was the Empire founded?”
Seeing the disappointed, darkened faces of the young ladies who disliked me, it seemed this was truly an easy question. Especially Lady Ramira of the Barony, who clenched her fists in frustration and trembled visibly.
Miss Potts, perhaps also a victim of the Duke’s letter campaign, sparkled with relief as if she’d narrowly escaped disaster. Esmeralda, too, smiled at me with absolute confidence on her face.
In this room, only I—only I alone.
My mind was completely blank.
I still remember the founding year of Joseon—1392—but I had no idea whatsoever about the Empire.
In the end, with trembling lips, I just blurted out a random year that came to mind.
“1392.”
The atmosphere soured instantly.
Lady Ramira of the Barony’s expression shifted from initial shock to mocking scorn, Miss Potts began sweating profusely in apparent panic, and Esmeralda blinked as if she couldn’t believe I’d actually given such an answer—waiting, perhaps, for my real reply.
But I couldn’t meet her expectations.
“Hoo, what an excellent answer.”
Miss Potts tried to clap with her shaking hands, but kept missing. As other students began whispering, she hurriedly added,
“It’s just a very, very, very slight difference. The Empire was founded in N.S. (novum saeculum) 1786, but since a very significant event concerning the Empire also occurred in 1392, your answer is quite reasonable.”
It was impossible to understand how the gap between 1392 and 1786 could possibly be “slight,” yet Miss Potts continued sweating profusely, desperately trying to defend my answer.
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…
