After being betrayed by a butler and her nanny, whom she’d trusted wholeheartedly, Emma wandered down a forest trail on a stormy night to avoid them and the lurking animals.... more>>

She stumbled upon a magnificent mansion and bravely knocked on the large wooden door of the mysterious, secretive place. After a few minutes, a man opened the door.

“Hello. I am Emma. Emma Herman,” she said shakily and then begged, “Please! Save me, please! I will do anything.” Emma’s life was about to be flipped upside down.

“Hello, Emma. Has something happened to you?” he asked. The man she had thought to be the owner of the mansion, was Irvin Van Wert, the successor of Count Van Wert. “Don’t run away from me without my permission. Because you belong to me now!”

***

“So, you don’t have anything to do with the people I mentioned, right?”

“Right,” Emma nodded rapidly, expecting the misunderstanding and suspicion to be resolved.

“I see. So this isn’t a trap,” the man oddly mumbled as he stared at Emma and slowly bent his body down lower. Then, he put his lips closer to her ear and said, “If so, you’re just coming by perchance then?”

The low voice, while fascinating, was frightening enough to hurt Emma’s eardrum and she meekly replied, “Yes.” <<less

Felix continuously had the same nightmare.... more>>

He was back in the interrogation room, his hands tied behind his back in heavy fetters, his feet chained to an iron chair, and his thin cloth robe drenched. In the damp prison, he was barefoot on the stone floor, shivering with cold. The wounds on his knees were sutured to stop the bleeding, but the pain penetrated into the bone. The marks on his thighs and back were so red and swollen that he had to stretch his shoulders and stand on tiptoe to minimize contact with the chair.

Someone was talking outside the door. He vaguely heard a string of numbers, which were the numbers he was given when he was thrown into the dungeon. Those people also said ‘peace talks,’ ‘agreements,’ ‘Temple group intervention,’ ‘counting prisoners’ and so on. Then, the door creaked open and a familiar figure came in, the face he was most afraid of——

King Capital’s Knight Sean Clayson. He was tall and cold, with long pale gold hair tied at the back of his head, and his facial features were as delicate as those of an elf portrayed by a court painter. <<less

Set in the same world as the Harem Series, this novel was written before it.... more>>

This novel tells the story of how one of the major players in the setting (of the Harem Series) came to be. By pure coincidence, the most recent novel in the Harem Series is something of an epilogue to this story. The first chapter is a summary of this book's events, but it retcons some things to better fit the lighter tone of the Harem Series by making certain events a little more consensual. For example, the retconned version has Selune initially scare Malicia off by having s*x with his maids in front of her instead of what you'll see here. <<less

Bai Lianhua looks just like his namesake, a white lotus.... more>>

So it’s probably inevitable that a system came for him.

System: come, my dear host Bai Lianhua, please live up to your name, and with your white lotus aura that is dazzlingly divine, save those antagonists who have led tragic lives and who are to stand against the world in the future.

Bai Lianhua: …Wait, it isn’t my fault my name is like that.

Before, Bai Lianhua thought this would have been the most excruciating thing to happen to his life, until all his missions were completed, and he’s happy and excited to go home. His system which had always been acting cute wipes his face handsomely, and then gives him a mystifying smile, “in fact, my real name is Return System of White Moonlight.”

＃Apparently, white lotus and white moonlight are great as a combo＃

So, this was actually an all-in-one service featuring white lotus + white moonlight? The missions he thought he had completed were just the preludes to his missions to follow?

And so, after having acted as a white lotus waving brilliantly in the wind, Bai Lianhua will have to return to his previous worlds, as that white moonlight that never went away in each of the antagonists’ minds, and resave the world from their clutches.

Bai Lianhua: Wait! System, come back! Explain to me why all my missions failed after I left, and why all those guys who I had painstakingly dragged back into the righteous path still went awry!

Mr. Antagonist: Hm? What’s the problem? I’m really happy with this——Now I finally have the power to take this white lotus from the pond, and nurture it well within a vase [takes a fresh white●lotus in his hand, playing with it gently]

Bai Lianhua: …! [Like the small white lotus, shaking pitifully in the wind]_(:з」∠)_

If the system lied to you, don’t despair, don’t cry, please stay as quiet as a flower, and be a stretch of pure white moonlight. <<less
