The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 77
“Have none of your esteemed attendants around ever dared to say such a thing even once?”
“That’s…”
Enrique, who had been about to reply, closed his mouth again.
Truly, he possessed a rare talent for being exasperating.
“Why? Because they told you that sending away the Saintess would sour relations with the Temple, so you must keep her close?”
Politically speaking, expelling the Saintess from the Imperial Palace now would be a grave misstep.
Precisely because my influence had grown, paradoxically, I could no longer afford to let her go.
If relations with the Temple worsened now, the Temple-aligned nobles would turn their backs as well, further diminishing the Emperor’s power.
‘Then… the precarious balance of that scale would tilt drastically, wouldn’t it?’
But was that any concern of mine?
“No matter how much of an emperor one may be, one cannot command another’s heart. Once the moment passes where a choice must be made, no amount of power can reverse what the heart has decided… Indeed, the heart is truly mightier than the sword.”
So, handle it yourself.
Of course, whatever he chose to do, my role was already set—but I desperately wished to rid myself of the sight of Helene right before my eyes.
‘Helene seems already to have decided not to trust you.’
Why not just let go now?
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.]
