You Can't Catch the Wind (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 29
I came thinking it’d be just a basic ancient language lecture, but now it’s about deciphering old documents written in the most difficult ancient scripts.
“Um, then… could I possibly know the difficulty level of the documents I’d be expected to handle?”
“Of course.”
“Then I’d like to see them right away. That way, I can determine whether I’m capable of handling the work here. And… I’d appreciate it if you could clearly decide, after checking, whether or not to entrust me with the job.”
Ael’s words surprised Calon.
Though Ael’s voice had been calm when explaining why she needed money, it couldn’t hide her desperation. He’d expected her to plead earnestly, saying she’d do anything if only they’d give her work.
But contrary to his expectation, Ael asked them to clearly judge whether her abilities were truly what they needed or not.
Some might find such an attitude frustrating—there are people who dislike someone holding onto their pride even in urgent situations.
Yet Calon found himself liking Ael’s character.
Even in her desperate and difficult circumstances, she neither exaggerated her abilities nor tried to win their sympathy or favor.
She simply wanted her skills fairly evaluated and to receive appropriate compensation in return.
Calon rose from his seat, went to Nisha’s desk, retrieved the document they’d been scammed with, and placed it before Ael—along with a pen and paper.
“We honestly need someone capable of deciphering documents of this difficulty. Can you do it?”
Ael looked at the old document Calon had handed her. The script was highly ornate—a classic example of an ancient manuscript.
“Wait, this is…”
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…
