Lenisha rubbed her face.
It felt like her heart was being wrung out.
Even if someone were to cut her flesh, it would not be as painful as this.
A dormant sense of guilt had awakened, and it felt like it was seizing her.
Everyone told Lenisha that it was alright.
The duke and duchess had not blamed Lenisha until the moment they died.
But Lenisha still blamed herself.
Breaking free from the nightmare and able to breathe,
That was a separate issue.
Lenisha hated her past self.
If it hadn’t been for Lenisha, would her family have suffered like this?
If one were to trace everything back, it would lead to Lenisha.
Even as Lenisha orchestrated all these events and moved the pieces, she had never once let go of her guilt.
“Thank you for being alive, my child. Mommy is sorry.”
“I’m sorry, Isabella. I failed to protect you and hurt you.”
Brixton and Hailin also wept, repeatedly wiping the discolored eyes of the child.
Lenisha bit her lip tightly.
Remembering and watching all this was Lenisha’s part.
And to reverse all this.
She would take away everything from Lexus.
The first beginning was Lenisha.
Lenisha knew that Lexus regarded her as his possession.
But Lenisha willingly left Lexus’s side.
It wasn’t Lexus who abandoned Lenisha, but Lenisha who abandoned Lexus.
Why couldn’t she have maintained her position as empress?
She had given it up because she didn’t want it.
She was taking it away piece by piece.
Even the only remaining throne!
(This is a time separator.)
Canaria paced the room with anxiety.
Turieel had promised to contact her, but there had been no communication.
“Did I do something wrong?”
Barbara shook her head.
“Of course not. You just wrote a letter to the Duchess, that’s all.”
“That’s true, that’s the right thing.”
Barbara comforted Canaria.
She thought that if Lenisha were driven out, everything in the Imperial Palace would be Canaria’s.
The only fitting owner of this Imperial Palace was either Lenisha or Canaria.
“You’re even having a wedding!”
“A wedding?”
Canaria scoffed.
Lexus, who had been delaying the wedding with all sorts of excuses, had finally ordered it.
Even so, it was merely Canaria and Lexus going and hastily holding the ceremony.
Canaria clenched her teeth.
Her hands wrapped around her stomach were clenched in anger.
She had given everything for this position and attained it.
But she felt it was even less than before.
Lexus had not come to her for quite some time, using Canaria’s pregnancy as an excuse.
She hadn’t expected a lovefilled ordinary couple.
Lexus was often violent and selfwilled.
And she knew that he only regarded her as a bird in a cage that he could pick up and discard at any time.
She just didn’t want to admit it.
“That bastard has only Lenisha in his heart. Do you know what that madman is doing now?”
Canaria said tearfully, glaring at Barbara.
Barbara sighed.
“He’s building a mansion outside the castle to bring Lady Lenisha back.”
It was an event that had stunned the entire castle.
A few days ago, Lexus had said something about finding an empty plot of land in the district to build a magnificent mansion.
Lexus’s obedient aides succeeded in buying land that suited Lexus’s taste as soon as dawn broke.
A marquis asked Lexus what he intended to use the land for.
The answer was a masterpiece.
‘Soon my wife will return, so I must build a mansion suitable for her.’
Everyone claimed to have seen Lexus’s clear eyes at that moment.
It was an insult and disregard for Canaria.
It was clear that Lexus didn’t even think of Canaria as a wife.
Barbara spoke, looking at the whining Canaria.
“So what changes? Is Lady Lenisha returning to the imperial palace? Or is she becoming the empress? Your Majesty is already the empress! There can’t be two empresses in this empire. It’s a law that has been upheld since the founding of the empire. Even if you’re the emperor, could you break it? It seems like you’re ruining your position with unnecessary worry.”
Barbara was sharp.
Barbara grabbed Canary’s hand to rise higher, even higher.
But what could she do when Canary was whining and letting go of her hand?
A strong feeling of disappointment emerged.
“You sought Madam Turiel for help, and you wrote a letter to Lady Lenisha. If you’ve done so, you must follow through.”
“What’s next!”
Canary exclaimed with fiery eyes.
She was enraged that Barbara neither comforted her nor took her side.
“Lady Lenisha is a very proud person, isn’t she? Surely she won’t want to return to this position? She will definitely refuse and not come. So you need to make a proposal that Lady Lenisha can’t refuse. As long as you can secure the position and safely give birth to the emperor, you should think about what you can give up.”
“Lady Lenisha has the power to do that? She went to Hiloshain. Madam Turiel is…”
“Madam Turiel is Lady Lenisha’s person. And although they don’t say it openly, there must be more than one or two such people?”
Barbara cautiously revealed what she had heard from the maids.
“Right now, the socialite ladies are divided.”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
