The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 170
“This is a place even Yayan doesn’t know.”
As soon as they entered, Cledwin turned toward the wall that had automatically slammed shut behind them and whistled.
Neris had expected him to ask her something. Even if he suspected she’d colluded with the Imperial family, he had nothing to say right now.
Granted, she’d nearly died at the hands of someone from the Imperial household, but Princess Kaymil’s will wasn’t necessarily the will of the entire Imperial family.
The Imperial Palace, long entangled in countless intrigues, contained numerous secret passages. Only the Emperor knew them all; the Crown Prince knew the next greatest number. The Empress and Crown Princess each learned a varying number of passages depending on their political standing.
When Neris had been Crown Princess, Abelus had shown her only a few. But while handling various sordid tasks for Kaymil, she’d discovered several more—passages even Abelus didn’t know.
One of those happened to be right here. Kaymil hadn’t actively shown it to her; Neris had merely chanced upon her using it once. Still, she owed her knowledge of this place to Kaymil, so she might as well be grateful.
Even Yayan didn’t know about this? That made sense. Kaymil had seemed uneasy that Neris had even learned of this passage, despite readily sharing other Imperial secrets whenever needed for business.
Truthfully, although Neris knew how to access it, she wasn’t entirely sure what this passage was used for. She’d entered only because she knew it led to a garden near the Emperor’s quarters—but…
Her eyes swept over the doors lining both sides of the corridor. Almost no sunlight filtered in, and the walls revealed bare, aged stone—no tapestries, not even a painted wooden panel. The decor resembled the prison where Neris had been locked away just before her death in her previous life.
At intervals along those walls stood iron doors with no handles. Clearly sealed by magic, they required magic to open as well.
They were likely holding cells for special hostages or prisoners. Neris had used this passage only once before—precisely because of Kaymil’s wariness—so she couldn’t possibly know their purpose.
Worried about how to explain the situation, Neris finally replied,
“The Imperial Palace isn’t somewhere you can just waltz in and out of freely; there must be plenty of passages even Yayan doesn’t know.”
Now he’d surely ask why Neris knew this particular “passage even Yayan didn’t know.” Deliberately avoiding his gaze, she quickened her pace.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]

Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
