The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 180
“Exclusive) Damian Vandermir Rings the Bell of Victory Successively at the Border!”
Aracila’s lips curved into a smile as she read the front-page article in the morning paper.
At first, there had been no news at all, making her worry endlessly about Damian—but after some time passed, he consistently sent word of his well-being by steadily winning battles.
Seeing Aracila smile more brightly than she had all week, Audrey also gave a small, cheerful grin.
“You really are our master. After all, there’s a reason you’re the Empire’s youngest Sword Master and captain of the Red Hawk Knights. I truly hope you return home safely just like this.”
“He will. He promised me he would.”
“Exactly, exactly! But it does seem a bit excessive not even letting him send letters. He’s fighting so hard—if they’d just allow him to write as a reward, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
Audrey grumbled, dragging out the end of her words. The Imperial Court had strictly forbidden Damian from contacting anyone outside, claiming he hadn’t been dispatched on official orders but had instead been sent as punishment for a crime.
That was why Aracila had spent the past few months obsessively reading every newspaper. She could have secretly contacted him, but she didn’t want to risk causing him any trouble.
For him to return completely blameless and prove his innocence, they couldn’t afford even the slightest misstep.
“I’m fine. I trust Damian—waiting like this means nothing to me.”
Aracila spoke as she carefully tore out the page with Damian’s article and neatly folded it.
Yet despite her brave words, she couldn’t help missing him, and recently collecting his news clippings had become her hobby.
“I need to work hard in my own place, just like Damian does in his. If I do that, someday he’ll come back.”
“You’re absolutely right, Madam. I’ll also do my utmost to serve you faithfully until Master returns.”
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…
