The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 105
“Two hundred pigs have died during transport! We’ll issue new procurement orders as quickly as possible!”
“Two thousand chickens secured! We’re still short by three hundred and fifty ducks and are currently sourcing them!”
“We’re short on velvet pouches for the intermission event! To meet the deadline, we’ll need at least two more artisans working on production!”
Cledwin had been right. Preparations for the Harvest Festival should have started earlier.
Preparing the festival program, arranging special Harvest Festival bonuses for the workers, organizing the distribution of those bonuses, compiling the guest list, sending invitations, handling replies to those invitations… the tasks were endless.
At least the apple festival and fireworks display were annual events, so last year’s records could serve as a reference.
The real problem was the tournament.
Contrary to Cledwin’s casual instruction, tournaments were rarely held here unless meant to revive some ancient tradition. The last official record of a tournament held in the capital dated back thirty-five years, and even that record was far from thorough.
Because of this, Neris, who was overseeing the entire Harvest Festival, found herself agonizing over countless decisions: What scale should the tournament be? What should the prizes be? How many ranks should receive awards? What method should be used to qualify participants?
Even when she asked Cledwin—after all, the idea had been his—he merely shrugged it off with an attitude of, “Do as you please; it’ll turn out fine either way.”
Where in the world did such a thoughtless remark come from? Neris grew frustrated, yet Cledwin remained stubbornly vague.
“Is there meaning simply in holding a tournament?”
If he lacked a clear vision and merely wanted “a tournament” for its own sake… what could possibly be his reason for thinking that way?
To align the event as closely as possible with Cledwin’s unstated intentions, she exerted herself tirelessly. Once she finally drafted a rough outline of the entire festival, she scrambled frantically to secure all the human and material resources needed to bring her plan to life.
Thankfully, capable people surrounded her. Neris was grateful for the seasoned presence of Rex Bronson and equally thankful for the full cooperation of the central administrators.
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…

Can’t wait for next chapter
The ML is so considerate of his wife. He treats her with so much care and gentleness, even when she doesn’t say a word—he just understands her. He’s honestly so perfect, I can’t 😭
I really hope the FL can overcome these painful feelings soon. I can’t bear to watch her suffer this much. 💔
