The Savior Who Bites My Neck (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
……Thus, there was no significant change in the Emperor’s movements. His health is gradually improving, but as far as I have observed, he will likely continue to remain passive.
Prince Sinclair’s palace.
Rex, delivering his report in the audience chamber, wore an outfit entirely different from his usual role as the Emperor’s bodyguard.
Not the lavish, ornate attire of the Emperor’s knightly order, but a simple, dark garment designed to blend into the shadows.
The reason was simple: the Imperial Palace was filled with watching eyes, and among them, several loyalists to the Emperor still remained. If rumors spread that Rex, the Emperor’s personal knight, had met with Sinclair, suspicion would be inevitable.
“Hester—”
Sinclair, legs crossed, read through Rex’s report methodically, his voice dry.
“He seems to harbor other intentions.”
Rex spoke cautiously.
“The Emperor himself poses no threat, but several faces we have not seen in the Imperial Palace recently have appeared. Moreover, individuals we already know have been making secret meetings with Hester under various pretexts—it seems he is beginning to gather allies. My guess is….”
Rex paused briefly, then continued with an air of discomfort.
“……He may be planning to kill the Emperor.”
“……”
“After all, from Hester’s perspective, the current moment—while the Crown Prince still holds his position—is the most opportune time for the Emperor’s death. With the legitimacy of his claim, he could ascend the throne effortlessly, without any effort.”

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
