There's a Snake in the Empress' Bedroom (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 105
Count Calliot raised his head.
He was well aware of how precarious this position was. Yet the sole reason Count Calliot had accepted this post despite such danger was because it offered him a chance to become a noble.
He had lived his entire life as a knight.
He could proudly claim he was more skilled and worked harder than others. He rose at dawn to train with his sword and reduced his sleep to discipline his body. Both the previous Count Calliot and his first commander had praised his swordsmanship.
But the limits of his status were clear, and that barrier could not be overcome by effort alone.
He believed that if only his status supported him, he could rise swiftly through the ranks.
And it seemed that opportunity was finally arriving.
“The current number of troops stationed in the capital is three thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry.”
Rexus’s eyes grew deeper.
Those soldiers had never fought in actual combat. In contrast, Cassius’s knights were veterans who had seen real battle.
Moreover, weren’t Rotera’s remnants gathering in Hiloshain? They too were true knights who had fought alongside the late Duke Rotera across many battlefields.
They were also the very victors who had delivered the Chorpa Plains to Rexus.
‘Their resentment toward me runs deep.’
His head throbbed. Rexus pressed firmly on his brow. The medicine and alcohol he’d consumed for years had dragged him into ruin. Enchanted by the illusions they provided, he had come this far.
He still felt no regret—because within them, Rexus had found peace. Even this excruciating headache could be forgotten. Indeed, it was precisely this headache that had first driven Rexus to take up medicine and drink.

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…
