The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 31
Time swiftly passed, and every bare branch sprouted tender new leaves, turning lush and green.
Helene, who had left the palace shortly after the welcoming banquet under the pretense of carrying out relief work as the Holy Maiden, had returned to the Lily Palace—only to find Imperial faction nobles eagerly sending her party invitations.
Hearing this news, I pondered for a moment.
“Maybe I should host a banquet myself.”
Perhaps among the men gathered there, I could win over at least one.
After all, I had to go out somewhere to either find someone to love or give up entirely.
“Hmm, lift your arm a bit higher there. You tend to move too abruptly by reflex. Try focusing on drawing your elbow inward more calmly.”
I had my own tendencies as well.
Specifically, a tendency to fall in love at first sight.
If I didn’t feel instantly captivated the moment I saw someone, loving them might be impossible.
“But I shouldn’t fall too deeply in love. Just enough—that’s what I need.”
Yet, was “just enough love” even a coherent idea to begin with?
It’s all too difficult.
As I adjusted Meriem’s posture, I sighed inwardly.
At least, being with Meriem was the only thing lifting my spirits these days.

When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”

This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
