The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 253
The Papal State of Ulevis was bustling with energy.
Pope Renus was no longer referred to as the “new pope” or the “current pope”—he was simply “the Pope.” The vitality generated by his generous relief efforts and his purge of corrupt high-ranking clergy brought happiness to the citizens.
The reign of the previous pope, Omnitus, stood in stark contrast to Renus’s.
Back then, every service came with a demand for donations, didn’t it? Now, His Holiness actually asks people to speak up if they know anyone in need! And isn’t it true that every Sunday, the Lily Palace is opened to all so anyone can come pay their respects? Could anyone have imagined such a thing before?
“He is a man sent by God. Truly a holy figure.” The citizens unanimously praised Renus. Cultural activities, once unthinkable in small-town chapels due to the prolonged economic hardship, had now resumed.
“‘Betrayal’—wasn’t that the title? The play is really entertaining.”
“It’s so popular these days that even at our younger sibling’s chapel, the adults pool money together just to go see it.”
Recently, the most talked-about topic among Ulevis residents was undoubtedly the play “Betrayal.”
Set in the ancient era when evil dragons ruled the world, the play featured a girl with violet gemstone eyes as its protagonist.
Believing humanity’s suffering was caused by the evil dragon, the girl embarked on a quest to defeat it. Along the way, she befriended a handsome man with gray gemstone eyes, and together they reached the dragon itself.
But the dragon turned out not to be the mindless monster she had always imagined.
At that moment, a man with navy-blue gemstone eyes—the true villain—appeared. He proposed an alliance: if the girl and the man joined him in slaying the dragon, they could split its treasure among them.
In truth, however, he saw both the girl and the man merely as rivals.
Seizing an opportunity, the man with navy-blue eyes trapped them both. Using them as hostages, he lured out the dragon and slew it himself. After eliminating every witness, he claimed both the dragon’s treasure and the title of hero for himself.
To anyone familiar with history, this story was clearly inspired by the Three Ancient Heroes and the evil dragon Kian—though its plot was utterly implausible.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]

Wow, Natcha’s furious words, fueled by the princess’s earlier provocation, actually left her speechless for a moment. And now that her secret has been revealed, everything suddenly makes sense—especially the way she dealt with the Crown Prince’s betrayal. What a snake.
I’m so tired of all these noblewomen fighting over the useless Crown Prince. He literally brings nothing to the table except his title, yet everyone still prefers him. I just hope his downfall comes soon
Wow, the development of the story was so unexpected! But when you think about it, the reason behind the hatred from the very beginning actually makes perfect sense.
