“Madam! Are you okay?”
Jane approached in shock, holding a handkerchief.
‘Why now of all times, a nosebleed.’
It was ridiculous even to her.
Being a person with no immunity to handsome men.
‘And that doesn’t mean I’d have a nosebleed.’
…Where did the person who cursed him as unattractive go?
Driven by the visual shock, Lamein’s face reddened with embarrassment.
“Blood… blood!”
“Give it to me. I’ll do it.”
She quickly took the handkerchief Jane handed over and held it to her nose.
‘Ah. Has the nosebleed already stopped?’
Only the blood that had already flowed onto the handkerchief was left, no more blood dropped.
Lamein, who had been looking at the handkeriff, blinked.
She felt a gaze, a very sharp gaze.
The blue eyes of the handsome husband she had met for the first time today were precisely fixed on her philtrum.
‘Why is he looking at me like that?’
With a feeling that the hole under her nose would be pierced, Lamein’s upper lip reflexively twitched.
Her already flushed face started to feel hot.
“Oh my! What should we do! It seems that the Madam’s strength has greatly weakened due to the poison!”
Jane’s worried voice echoed in the quiet room.
…Please, I hope the man in front of me thinks the same.
The moment she raised her eyes that were awkwardly squinted and briefly closed with a short sigh, her eyes met Cedric’s.
Damn. Again, he’s handsome and sexy on top of that.
To prevent another mishap of a nosebleed, she nearly shoved the handkerchief into her nose.
And then, while she was checking his reaction.
“Lamein. I rushed here as soon as I heard you were awake.”
…What kind of nonsense is that?
The husband who had done all his work and came uttered words in a voice that seemed not even a little bit moved.
‘…Wait a minute? Why is he acting like this?’
Her eyebrows that were awkwardly knitted twitched.
“You would not know no matter how much I say how heartbroken I was.”
The man, like an opera singer on stage, elegantly spread his two arms wide and approached the bed as if to embrace her.
The man’s chest covered in a silk shirt was so vast it made her want to play on it.
And that’s not all.
“Lamein. You wouldn’t understand no matter how much I say.”
His chest muscles vividly wriggled in front of her with every word he uttered.
‘Shouldn’t the country protect such chest muscles? Shouldn’t the medical professionals create a vaccine so the chest muscles don’t die?’
Her occupational disease kicked in at a strange moment.
While she was unintentionally engaging in national affairs.
“…Lamein?”
His blue eyes caught her dazed ones, whose soul was stolen by the man’s body.
‘Hold on. That’s not what’s important now.’
He was a man who, despite claiming to be heartbroken, had played with knives, eaten, and even played with water in a bathtub.
‘So why is he doing this?’
As she picked apart Cedric’s strange behavior, she nodded inwardly.
‘Right. They aren’t a normal couple, are they?’
His gaze was so intense that she almost forgot the fact she knew and was about to fall for it.
Lamein glanced at Jane.
She had determined someone was aware of her gaze.
Just when she was barely controlling her false smile that was about to spill out.
“Haah…….”
The man sighed as if the ground was going to collapse and took another step closer.
And then, he spread his arms and bent his upper body.
‘What. Is he planning to hug me?’
Just when his shadow started to cover half her face, she swallowed dryly.
The faintly spreading cozy lavender scent.
The man’s chest muscles barely visible through the open shirt.
As if to prove he was a noble, even his chest muscles overflowed with dignity.
Her eyes wavered as if they were meeting the wind.
This deep skinship with a man she was meeting for the first time was very embarrassing.
‘Push him away? No. Is there a need to specifically push him away?’
Even though they were meeting for the first time today, wasn’t he her husband?
‘Right. It’s for show. And when else would I get to lean on such a man.’
With a reasonable compromise between rationality and instinct, she was determined to go with the flow and leave everything to fate.
“No. No. I was shortsighted.”
Suddenly, Cedric’s upper body was far away.
“I want to hug you, but if I do, I’m afraid your body will crumble.”
…Why did I make a resolution?
The man, who clearly had no intention of hugging her from the start, wobbled his head as he made a silly excuse.
“Huuk! Huuk!”
These were not Lamein’s cries.
‘Why is she crying again?’
With a stunned expression, Lamein watched Jane, who was wiping away her tears with a handkerchief she had taken out to wipe her own nose.
“Haah, Lamein.”
In the midst of this, Cedric let out a sigh as if distressed.
Lamein’s gaze, which had been staring blankly, twitched.
If a third person saw the current situation,
A husband, who was anxious about losing his wife, could only sigh without even hugging his awakened wife, cherishing her too much.
It would look like a very pathetic and beautiful situation.
‘What are the two doing now?’

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…
