This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 55
The palace garden was quickly tidied up, and as the sun set, numerous outdoor lamps lit up every corner of the garden. With the boisterous laughter and noisy music fading away, Ariel’s dazed mind gradually began to clear.
“How did I end up here? Ah! Edward is an imperial noble, after all.”
At Ariel’s self-answering question, Edward smiled gently as always. Now that they were outside, he took off his stifling hat—there was no longer any need to hide it.
“Was the ‘business’ you mentioned earlier really about this? Your birthday banquet? Or the competition?”
“It is indeed this, and it’s because of the competition. Our company is involved, after all.”
“Then why didn’t you say anything yesterday?”
At her relentless stream of questions, Edward let out a soft chuckle.
“I couldn’t decide whether to come myself or just send someone. By the way, we’ll need to work hard growing our company from now on, won’t we?”
“Yes. But I feel bad—it seems like only you’re getting busier.”
Trying to soften her apology with a bashful smile, Ariel spotted a bench ahead and plopped down onto it, leaning her back against it. The spot was well-lit, thanks to a nearby lamp.
“Let’s sit here for a bit. My legs hurt from standing so long today.”
“Well, you must’ve been exhausted from cooking yourself.”
“Did you see? I hid it so perfectly—how did everyone find out?”
At her puzzled expression, Edward’s smile only deepened.
He quietly studied Ariel, who had finally grown quiet. His eyes lingered on her neck, and a faint smile touched his lips. It wasn’t the necklace he had given her—though that one would likely suit her well too.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
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…
