When the Cruel Dark Lord Tenderly Seduces (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 30
The Duchess looked a bit dazed. Seizing the moment, Nellia brought up the matter she’d long wanted to discuss.
“So, Duchess, I have one request—please don’t rush into thinking about marriage. Let the Duke reach a calmer, more thoughtful conclusion.”
She understood the Duchess’s fear—that her cursed son might end up alone and lonely for the rest of his life. Yet pressing him would do the Duke no good at all; it would only heighten his anxiety.
Fortunately, the Duke seemed steadfast and unmoved, but even so, stress would inevitably build up within him without his realizing it.
Of course, Nellia also had her own reasons for speaking up. The Duke had already unsettled her by bringing up marriage, and now his mother too was talking about it—she had to calm at least one of them down.
“You care about Silian far more than I realized, Nellia.”
The Duchess offered a faint smile.
“Yes. Perhaps I was too preoccupied with soothing my own anxieties rather than truly considering Silian’s feelings.”
Nellia felt grateful toward the Duchess for listening so calmly, especially given how sensitive the topic could have been.
“Thank you for thinking of it that way.”
When Nellia expressed her feelings honestly, the Duchess shook her head.
“No, I should be thanking you. Because of you, I realized what I’d forgotten.”
The Duchess crossed over to Nellia’s seat and firmly took her hand.
“It’s truly fortunate to have someone like you, Miss Nellia, by his side.”
Her gentle smile carried a clear sense of relief. Nellia could see the sincerity in her expression.
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…
