“Let’s conclude today’s meeting here.”

The state council had ended.

Herdin leisurely rose from his seat and exited the conference room with Ruth. The first thing he saw upon stepping out was the window in the corridor.

The sky was overcast. Judging by the ominous dark clouds, rain would soon fall.

Noticing Herdin’s gaze, Ruth spoke.

“It seemed like the weather was clearing up, but I suppose spring rain is on its way.”

Herdin looked out the window toward the imperial palace grounds. Though hidden behind trees, the Empress’s residence would lie beyond that view—and Blair was likely there right now.

‘Someone from House Lorelain arrived; yesterday, someone from the palace visited the count’s estate. And today, Her Imperial Majesty the Dowager Empress summoned Madam.’

Until her marriage, he’d believed Katrina adored her daughter dearly.

After all, her daughter always wore expensive clothes, adorned herself with costly jewelry, and beamed brightly among those who praised her.

Back then, he hadn’t realized appearances weren’t everything.

Ivan—Blair’s demeanor at their first dinner together after marrying Katrina, and again during Katrina’s birthday banquet.

The reality of their mother-daughter relationship, seen up close, differed greatly from what he’d imagined.

Only then did he realize how strange Katrina’s behavior toward her daughter truly was—and likewise Blair’s attitude toward her.

Though he couldn’t judge everything based solely on those brief glimpses, it was clear their bond wasn’t a typical mother-daughter relationship.

Side Story 5 Side Story 4

Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…

Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.

Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.

The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”

When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…

The female CEO who doesn’t want to get married with a divorce agreement in hand × The male archaeological researcher who will only get married if he’s sure he can get divorced

    Please edit the chapters. This one had a change of pronouns for Blair, and she was being referred to as he/him. It gets confusing

    Ruth better not be the criminals we are searching for because I kinda suspect him 🧐🧐

  3. Vvk Chapter 42 — Paragraph 45
    Ruth, who hadn’t grasped Herdin’s words immediately, blinked in confusion before

    I wonder if this is going to end up being one of those tropes where the aide ends up finding out how decent the protagonist is and becomes a staunch supporter 🤔 I really hope Ruth isn’t a villain even if he is annoying
