To You, So Noble and Vulgar (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 41
The bathroom, paved with white marble, was spacious and luxurious.
The large window was made of stained glass adorned with dazzling colors—green, red, and gold. Though the outside could not see in, sunlight streamed through, scattering brilliant hues across the white marble bathroom.
The large bathtub was filled with warm water that smelled pleasantly, as if a few drops of perfume had been added. On the trolley beside the tub sat a plate of cookies and a glass of cool grape juice.
Thanks to traveling with Cyrus and his group, she had arrived comfortably, but the fatigue accumulated from her long journey was unavoidable.
As she immersed herself in the warm water, her tension eased, and the exhaustion she had held back until now surged over her like a crushing weight. Though she clearly longed to fall asleep right there, Ariana firmly held herself back.
‘How splendid.’
Ariana forced her tired, drooping eyes wide open and looked around the bathroom.
‘Right, Dongryeong’s power has always been greater than Seoryeong’s. That’s precisely why the Marquis of Seoryeong grew wary of the Marquis of Dongryeong.’
Beoryeong and Dongryeong were permitted to maintain strong armies because they faced Paganus in the northeast. Dongryeong, situated in a region with favorable climate and abundant resources, grew so powerful with its added military strength that it rivaled even the Empire itself.
The Marquis of Seoryeong, who dreamed of someday becoming imperial kin, grew wary of Dongryeong’s growing influence. Thus, he sent Rachel to stir up trouble and sow discord between the Emperor and the Marquis of Dongryeong.
The already suspicious Emperor turned his back on the Marquis of Dongryeong over this minor scheming.
Had Paganus’s remnants not still existed, the Emperor would have crushed the Marquis of Dongryeong outright. But since the Emperor needed a force in the east to keep Paganus in check, he had no choice but to leave Dongryeong alone.
However, he stripped Dongryeong of its military command authority—the right to summon imperial troops when needed. Consequently, Dongryeong now had to fend off Paganus using only its own strength.
Because Paganus worshipped a false god and employed strange sorcery, Dongryeong’s eastern border remained perpetually on high alert. Expecting a heavy atmosphere given the ever-present threat of war, Ariana was surprised to find Dongryeong unexpectedly peaceful.
‘So this is where the Marquis of Dongryeong lived.’
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
