The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 27
“There certainly used to be an age restriction.”
“Yeah. But now it doesn’t matter even if you have a child. If the child is over ten years old, the Empress’s palace will support sending them to a boarding school, and if they’re under ten, you can bring them along to raise yourself. That’s the most important part of this new announcement.”
Since we’re hiring anew anyway, I should choose someone beyond Helene’s reach.
Jobs offering support for children were exceedingly rare.
It was a benefit any mother determined to work would desire, and once granted such support, she’d have no choice but to remain loyal to me.
Gathering my thoughts, I asked Mrs. Bertolt for her opinion.
“What do you think, Suzanne?”
“It’s an exceptionally generous benefit. Praises for Her Imperial Majesty will surely resound far and wide.”
“Yes, let’s proceed with that… There’s one more thing. I need an aide.”
If I was to properly carry out my duties as Empress from now on, an aide was absolutely essential.
Someone capable, quick-witted, and slickly cunning would be perfect.
‘There used to be someone like that back then.’
When I ruled as sovereign of the demon realm, I had an aide who handled all the tedious matters in my stead.
‘He was famously the foulest-tempered creature in all of hell… and occasionally acted so insolently toward me that I often ended up flicking his forehead.’
I doubted I’d find anyone quite like him, but an aide was necessary nonetheless.
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.]
