It seemed that Icarus would open the bedroom door and enter any moment.
“Since the cover is overlaid with a different one, he won’t notice the contents of the book immediately.”
That thought lasted only a moment.
Icarus paid attention to everything about Reneve, including what she ate, what books she read, and her recent interests.
If he discovered this book, he would undoubtedly read it.
So, covering the book with a different cover had little significance.
‘I need to hide it quickly!’
Reneve thought she was completely cornered when suddenly the door opened.
“Reneve.”
Soon, Icarus’s voice calling her reached her ears.
…!
Helplessly, Reneve pushed the red book into the small gap between the bed and the bedside table.
Fortunately, just before Icarus entered the bedroom, Reneve succeeded in hiding the adult book.
However, since the first night of their honeymoon, due to Icarus constantly exploring her body day and night, Reneve spent busy days and momentarily forgot about the existence of the book.
Later, upon Amber’s mention, she tried to find the book, but it had mysteriously disappeared.
Although she didn’t know Icarus would discover it.
Icarus, who seemed ready to throw the red book into the fireplace immediately, had his momentum broken.
“Is this… a treasure?”
“Yes… yes.”
Precisely, it was not Reneve’s treasure, but Amber and Kieren’s.
“Reneve.”
“Yes.”
“Have you seen this book as well?”
Reneve shouted desperately.
“No! I received it as a gift on the wedding day and briefly glanced at the contents right after. That’s all.”
She claimed that she had completely forgotten about the book since then and declared her innocence.
However, his scrutinizing gaze seemed to be saying otherwise.
‘Doesn’t seem like it?’
No, Reneve didn’t seem to believe that she hadn’t seen the book from the beginning.
“Your taste seems to be in this direction…”
Icarus began to read the book carefully in front of Reneve.
As Reneve’s face began to blush, Icarus, looking interested, started to recite the contents of the book as if reciting poetic verses, describing the sensuous scenes.
“The greedy gaze of the protagonist descended her delicate body. She, with just his gaze alone…”
Reneve shouted desperately.
“No, it’s really not!”
“What isn’t?”
“I received it as a gift, but I haven’t read the book. I’m innocent!”
“Well…”
Licking his lower lip slowly, Icarus followed the contents of the book.
“The female protagonist of this book seems to like it when it’s done like this.”
Holding an adult book in one hand, Icarus used the other to lightly scratch Reneve’s waist with his nails.
…!
That night, Reneve was embarrassed all night because of the adult book discovered by chance.
Icarus, persistently, did not let her go until the day dawned, teasing her mischievously.
After becoming the empress, Reneve hosted her first ball. The palace was bustling with people, and there was no room to step inside.
“Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress.”
Nobles gathered from all over Vasuker eagerly wanted to exchange greetings with the new empress.
“Thank you for responding to the invitation.”
Using her experiences from her previous life, Reneve was able to entertain the invited nobles well.
‘Phew, there are really so many people to greet.’
Although the palace reception had just begun, she was starting to get tired as the endless line of greetings continued.
‘This person is probably a noble from the southern region, right?’
Looking at a middle-aged noble with curly mustaches, Reneve inwardly smirked.
“I was pleasantly surprised by your appearance, which is much more beautiful and elegant than the rumors…”
Reneve gave him an appropriate response, and the middle-aged noble turned his body with a very satisfied expression.
While waiting for the next turn, Reneve spoke to Lady Vanderfelt, who was waiting for her turn to greet the nobles.
“It seems a bit chilly in the hall. How about stoking the fire in the fireplace a bit more?”
“Are you cold, Your Majesty the Empress?”
In response to Reneve’s suggestion, Lady Vanderfelt looked slightly surprised and quickly spoke to a nearby attendant.
“Bring the overcoat for Her Majesty the Empress.”
“I’m okay. But among the guests, there seem to be quite a few who are wearing thick coats. I asked for opinions on raising the temperature in the hall a bit.”
“Ah…”
As if understanding just now, Lady Vanderfelt nodded her head and spoke.
“I learned about it today too. Recently, garments made of wool have become trendy, mainly in the Allied Nations. So, perhaps rather than being cold, are they wearing woolen clothes for fashion?”
Upon Lady Vanderfelt’s words, Reneve blinked slowly. It was still early autumn, far from winter.
“Isn’t that a bit too ahead of the season?”
At least in Reneve’s common sense, it seemed so.
“Oh, that’s true.”
Approaching Reneve, Lady Vanderfelt whispered.
“Since the wedding, it seems that Viscount Siren and Marquess Patrick have been wearing woolen clothes and attending various social gatherings.”
Reneve’s eyes widened at Lady Vanderfelt’s words.
Considering the season when Viscount Siren and Patrick wore woolen clothes, it was likely to be summer.
“Wearing woolen clothes in that weather?”
Reneve lightly touched her forehead and asked cautiously.
“Um… Did those two get ridiculed for wearing clothes that didn’t match the season?”
“Not at all.”
Lady Vanderfelt immediately shook her head.
“On the contrary, some delighted tailors said they found it refreshing and gained inspiration. Due to that influence, it seems many sewing rooms are now bustling, trying to acquire wool.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
Siren and Patrick, both tall and decent-looking wealthy men, had little interest in grooming themselves.
It seemed they were unaware of their popularity among women.
Reneve found it somewhat surprising and amusing that Patrick and Viscount Siren had led the trend.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

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.”
