The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 80
“I never felt my chest ache like this when I was fully a demon.”
With every step I took, I tasted despair as if sinking into a swamp.
Helpless like a mere human, there was only one thing I could do—
pray that this was all a dream.
My hands, which had held the lifeless Charlotte, trembled uncontrollably, so I clutched tightly the pouch Meriem had given me.
My palms grew hot as if burned, yet I refused to let go.
If I released it, I feared I would collapse right then and there.

When it became known that Charlotte had died an honorable death protecting me, the banquet was immediately halted.
No noble was permitted to return home; even the servants and maids present were all imprisoned.
Though covert assassination attempts were tacitly ignored by all, such brazen conduct at an imperial banquet was an entirely different matter.
Depending on perspective, it could be seen as a direct challenge to imperial authority, so neither imperial loyalists nor noble factions dared utter a word, merely exchanging wary glances.
Amidst the chaos, citing the need for mental and physical rest, I was the first allowed to return to my palace—and I insisted Charlotte’s body be brought to the Empress’s quarters as well.
The imperial physicians clamored about performing an autopsy and determining the cause of death, but that was precisely what I could not tolerate.
How dare anyone lay hands on Charlotte. How dare they.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
