The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 239
【 Unprecedented Crisis – Imperial Electress Imprisoned! 】

【 If Proven True, Will She Be Stripped of Her Title as Electress? 】
Numerous newspapers featured front-page illustrations of the Marquis, trapped in a prison cell, gripping the bars with a terrified expression.
Her guilt had not yet been confirmed, and as an Electress, the Marquis was detained in a wing of the Imperial Palace—not in some dark dungeon clutching bars with a grimace—so the illustration was outright false.
Yet newspapers plastered this large, vivid depiction—crafted as if the artists had witnessed the Marquis up close—on their front pages, stirring immense public curiosity and selling like wildfire. As more and more papers raced to publish similar illustrations, people began treating the fabricated scene as if it were real.
Even before Antonio Julius could issue any defense through lawyers or spokespeople, his life as an Electress was already effectively over.
After all, for an Electress vested with the “right to elect the Emperor,” honor and reputation were paramount.

Julius’s soldiers were utterly bewildered.
Even they, the victims themselves, had never truly believed that Marquis Julius, a high-ranking noble, would face real consequences for the substandard supplies.
The Marquis had been throwing money around to smooth things over, and they’d received satisfactory compensation.
Rumors about the supply scandal had circulated, but the Emperor seemed intent on covering it up, and Sir Arthur and Kay Ford appeared to have agreed not to pursue the matter further—for the sake of the pensions promised to families of fallen soldiers.
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.”
