The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 55
Even marrying for love would struggle to bridge the gap between a knight and a mage, let alone a marriage of convenience forged solely for each other’s ambitions.
Lacking a strong sense of marital unity, their true identities always surfaced first at critical moments.
Until now, they hadn’t clashed over anything major, so their relationship had remained amicable—but when an incident escalated into group conflict like this time, their mutual prejudices and distrust became glaringly obvious.
Aracila, the mage, couldn’t trust Damian, the knight, and vice versa.
Though neither had ever truly shown any inadequacy as a mage or a knight, the deep-rooted rivalry passed down through generations had overtaken both their minds.
“That’s despicable. To sacrifice someone else as bait just to protect your own subordinate?”
Aracila clenched her fists tightly, clearly furious beyond endurance.
“Is this what you knights always call chivalry? How utterly honorable.”
“Why blame me for your own incompetence? You were foolish to believe that woman’s words and base your investigation on them in the first place.”
Damian clicked his tongue sharply. Aracila, who’d already heard similar remarks repeatedly at the Mage Tower, snapped back instantly.
“And just how clean are you, then? What does Sisl’s profession have to do with her accusation? By that logic, isn’t Sir Pattinson, who supposedly slept with Sisl, completely blameless?”
“Don’t spout nonsense. Johnny said he didn’t even know that woman.”
“How ridiculous. He even gifted her his personal pendant.”
Aracila scoffed in rebuttal. Damian’s frown deepened further.
“So now you’re even fabricating outright lies? From the start, you never intended to conduct a proper investigation, did you? You just wanted to declare any knight guilty by default.”
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…
