The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 55
It was a scent I’d never encountered in my life. Though I’d only caught a whiff for the briefest moment, the sharpness stung my nose.
It smelled somewhat like something burnt, yet also faintly fishy.
But my thoughts didn’t last long. The Chief Steward of the Inner Palace deliberately cleared his throat with a stern look, drawing my attention.
“Lady Ferdia. His Majesty detests disturbances.”
“Yes.”
“Please keep in mind that you stand before the Emperor himself.”
“Yes.”
“…Then, come inside.”
After repeating his warnings, the steward glanced at me doubtfully before stepping out.
I passed through the antechamber and entered the Emperor’s bedroom. Like the corridor, it was shrouded in deep shadow—thick curtains drawn over every window.
The only illumination in the vast chamber came from scattered censers, their faint flames flickering. Smoke coiled upward from several of them.
‘So that pungent smell is coming from these censers.’
They must be burning some medicinal incense to treat the Emperor’s illness—there’d be no other reason to burn something so unpleasant.
But where in this enormous room was the Emperor? Since he was unwell, he must be in bed.
Before heading straight to the bed, I announced my presence.

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…

Why don’t you admire our little girl, Lily? You don’t deserve her. She’ll be with the person she chooses herself.
Yes! I love you, Duke! Lily is free now. This rude prince must be let go.
What kind of magic is this? I feel like he’s evil. Does he know magic that will harm Lily? They’re filthy villains.
