The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 80
Lloyd sat in the old café, tapping lightly on the aged table, recalling what he had witnessed not long ago.
In the old town, he had happened to spot Dahlia’s personal maid.
Was her name Samantha? He remembered her well because she had always looked at him with disapproval.
‘Pierce Pawnshop…’
That place was mainly used by those who needed to sell items that mustn’t become public knowledge—or by people whose identities couldn’t be revealed without causing trouble.
In other words, it was a shady establishment that readily traded goods stolen by thieves.
Yet Dahlia’s personal maid had been seen visiting such a place.
Feeling an inexplicable sense of unease, he immediately entered the pawnshop that day and asked about the items the maid had just sold.
The pawnshop owner, who initially claimed he couldn’t disclose customers’ private information, readily opened his mouth for just a few coins.
‘What that woman sold was jewelry. She claimed she was acting on her mistress’s orders. And indeed, they were quite valuable pieces—exactly the kind noble ladies would use.’
Most of the items the owner pulled out upon saying that were unfamiliar jewels. But—
‘That was definitely the necklace Dahlia had worn before.’
Lloyd remembered seeing Dahlia wearing that emerald necklace with a green hue. That meant all the items the maid had sold at the pawnshop must have belonged to Dahlia.
The crucial question now was whether the maid had stolen and sold these items without Dahlia’s knowledge—or if she truly acted under Dahlia’s orders.
‘Dahlia, being a duchess, wouldn’t be short on money… So, is the maid secretly stealing after all?’
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…
