The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 164
The Royal Archives, which held all of the late emperor’s records concerning Aura, were accessible only to the emperor and the crown prince.
Even the empress was not permitted entry.
Empress Maria seemed to care little about the archives, likely because she had no concern so long as Kyle did not cultivate Aura.
Thus, Crown Prince Kyle had unconsciously taken it for granted.
That his mother, Empress Maria, knew less about Aura than either himself or the emperor.
“…….”
Yet now, he wondered if he might have been mistaken.
Just how much did his mother truly know about Aura?
Kyle began to harbor doubts after learning that the assassins had targeted not only Arthur but Reina as well.
Mounted on his horse, Crown Prince Kyle circled once around the old, charred warehouse at the docks, its structure reduced to mere bones.
Then, gazing at the chair where the assassins had been bound, he recalled the statement given by the Fixer they had successfully captured.

Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…

One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”

Saraluvsleads Chapter 165 — Paragraph 41Her own voice didn’t even sound like a refusal to her ears.
Worst sentence I’ve ever read. Don’t you ever justify man’s behaviour by blaming yourself….. you pushing him away is more than enough to show rejection
Saraluvsleads Chapter 165 — Paragraph 61She couldn’t resist.
Brotherr I’m eughing at this scene …. even unfortunate. Arthur isn’t even in his right mind
Saraluvsleads Chapter 165 — Paragraph 43His fingers slid between hers, intertwining as though slipping effortlessly into
This is not hot…. by having her resist in the beginning this feels quite icky now
