The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 130
To Miss Trude, who is exceedingly busy and also quite skilled at telling lies.
It is my first time greeting you, Miss Neris Trude. I am certainly no one grand enough to boast about to a noble young lady like yourself, but I must at least state my name, so I take up my pen thus.
My name is Diane MacKinnon. Yes, you will be hearing it for the first time.
If you had known my name—if you had known even a little about me—you would never have kept Trude’s whereabouts from me for nearly an entire year.
It is terribly presumptuous of me, but the woman at the Grand Registry, Madame Kellen, claimed not to know your name, Miss Trude? Yet I had clearly received replies more than once from that very address.
Who is it that keeps crying, “I’m busy, so busy!”? You deliberately chose a family trip nearby yet never once showed your face! How could I not have worried?
Was I not overworking myself again as I did back in the Academy? Had I fallen ill but pretended nothing was wrong just to avoid hearing your nagging?
Ah, how foolish I felt in my worry! Imagine spending three sleepless nights agonizing over whether I might visit you—just to check if your health was well—only to receive a reply stating, “There is no such person; perhaps you are mistaken.”
Can you even imagine how my heart must have felt upon learning you were in the distant north of all places?
No, you likely cannot. After all, Miss Trude, you have absolutely no interest in me!
If you neither know nor care about me, Miss Trude, then why am I writing you this letter?
It is certainly not to beg for friendship. Indeed, no. I have my pride too, after all.
I will be traveling with my elder brother to visit Miss Joan Morier. I hear that Morier Trading is procuring various goods in the north and requires cooperation from MacKinnon Trading. Do you remember Miss Morier?
Ah, of course you do—that’s why you revealed your whereabouts to her, wasn’t it? Not to me, who stayed by your side throughout our time at the Academy, but only to Miss Morier!
Since trade in Maindlant requires a permit, I intend to pay a formal visit to His Grace the Grand Duke. For fear you might happen to see me passing by and assume I followed you, Miss Trude, I write you this letter in advance.
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…

The male lead being so proud of his wife is honestly adorable, even when he gets jealous.
And the female lead is so elegant and beautiful—I can’t wait to see this scene illustrated
Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
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. 💔
