Tame or Be Captured (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 077
Karaf’s appearance was strikingly similar to that of the previous emperor, but there was one key difference.
It was his hair.
Since black hair was never considered an honorable symbol in the imperial family, his mother had forbidden even a single portrait of her only son from being painted.
Seeing Asha’s expression darken, the Chief Steward suddenly remembered something and spoke.
“Still, there might be a painting left from the day of the Crown Prince’s investiture—a commemorative piece celebrating your victory. It was the glorious day His Majesty first returned home after earning merit in battle.”
The Chief Steward rummaged through the room and soon emerged holding a portrait.
Depicted there was Karaf clad in armor.
Though younger than now, in his adolescence, his imposing stance in armor and calm, stern expression exuded the unmistakable aura of an emperor.
When Asha asked the Chief Steward about that time, he explained that Karaf had earned military merit from an early age, all to gain favor with the Empress.
As the black rose, that was the only means he had to bring honor to her.
Or perhaps—maybe it wasn’t for such grand reasons at all. Maybe he had simply longed for a word of praise from his mother.
Behind his cold and arrogant face, a deep loneliness seemed to peek through.
Asha raised a hand and gently stroked the portrait with care.
It was a gesture as if consoling the boy from that time.
The Chief Steward quietly watched her from behind.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]

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.
