Tame or Be Captured (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 055
At that very moment, a cold wind howled through the imperial palace, and everyone’s nerves were stretched taut.
Karaf was so uneasy and restless that he couldn’t stay still.
He felt he wouldn’t be satisfied until he found some trace—any trace—related to Asha.
If only he could find something that carried her presence, perhaps his anxious heart might finally find a sliver of peace.
Karaf frantically scoured every corner of the Empress’s quarters where Asha had stayed, but she hadn’t owned much within this palace.
Every item in the room had been a gift from him, yet for some reason, they all looked like nothing more than flashy ornaments, bearing no trace of her at all.
He couldn’t even sense the faintest remnant of her fragrant scent or the subtlest touch of her hand.
It was as though no one had ever lived in this room at all….
That thought drove him mad.
Karaf ordered the Chief Steward to bring every single item Asha had carried with her when she first entered the palace.
She truly hadn’t brought much when she arrived.
Staring at the tiny basket of belongings, Karaf’s face twisted even further.
But the moment he discovered something inside it, he slammed his fist down on the desk with a loud “bang,” without even realizing it.
At the sudden, thunderous noise, the servants and knights nearby flinched in alarm.
With wide eyes and trembling hands, Karaf lifted one of Asha’s possessions.
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…

Not practically, it is a form of torture. Jackel didn’t jump into the water on his own while tied to the boulder.
It seems backward that the Empress is invited to a Duchess’ tea party.
What terrible phrasing. ‘He couldn’t possibly take her…’ She is the empress of the empire, Jackel needs to get with the program. She has shown herself to be stronger and more resilient than anyone else in this novel.
