Swoosh. Rustle. The sound of fabric brushing against fabric was heard. Through her hazy vision, she saw his back as he straightened his dress shirt and put on a vest.

Rustle.
The sound of crisp paper rubbing against each other was heard. Blair's eyes widened. Cedric was taking out bills from his vest pocket. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

‘…Is this a lie?’

Cedric took out a few bills and tossed them onto the bedside table. The bills, thrown without care, slid off the table and fell onto the floor. Blair stared at the fluttering paper with widened eyes.

[The Book of Solomon’s Keys]

[As long as the target voluntarily writes their name on this book, you can gain knowledge and abilities from the other party]

Looking at the monsters that filled the abyss, Lu Mi slowly revealed an apologetic and polite smile.

After a frenzy of upgrades, Lu Mi was finally able to leave the abyss and return to the outside world.

****

In the year 2277 of the new calendar, countless pitch black cracks appeared in various places, and monsters of all sizes poured out from the abyss behind the cracks.

As a result, the entire world entered an era of tyranny, and countless extraordinary beings emerged, causing the world to fall into madness.

Among the top tier monsters, there is a group that is particularly different – they are all looking for the owner of a book.

[He conquered us in the abyss, and we offered him all our names so that he could summon us at any time and use our abilities, knowledge, and power]

[But then he suddenly disappeared – We need to find him! We should find him! We will definitely find him]

[There is only one throne in the sky, and he is the only person qualified to compete for that position! We are his most loyal supporters]

On the day my husband-to-be was escorted to the execution ground, I entered his household… Yun Lian was destined for wealth but never its fortune. ... more>>

In her previous life, she had arduously climbed up to become an HR director with an annual salary just crossing seven figures. In the blink of an eye, she found herself transmigrated.

In this new world, she embodied a character affluent and beautiful, betrothed to a highly learned man from an illustrious background.

However, the timing couldn’t have been worse.

Her prospective in-laws were all villains who had recently been thrown into prison. Her fiancé took upon himself all the blame, ensuring the release of his entire family.

The original owner sought to dissociate herself from this sinking ship by hitching onto the coattails of the newly enthroned emperor. Not only did she kick him while he was down, but she also personally went to the jail to humiliate her fiancé severely. On the very day her fiancé was being led to the execution grounds for beheading, she packed her dowry and, clutching a rooster, defied her entire family’s opposition to enter her fiancé’s now-tumultuous home. The benevolent new emperor decreed that one person’s crime should be borne by that person alone, sparing the rest of the family from punishment but stripping them of their titles and official posts, reducing them to commoners.

Her future father-in-law could not withstand the shock and fell gravely ill. The matriarch of the family struggled to keep everything together, barely hanging on. The mother-in-law knew nothing except weeping. Below them were two young twin brothers and a half-sister.

Yun Lian led this extended family away from the political strife of the capital to settle down in their ancestral countryside. She saw to it that even the mischievous younger siblings started learning practical skills from an early age. The seemingly naive mother-in-law would soon toughen up under the sun’s rays. The aging matriarch, despite her frailty, proved surprisingly spry when tending to livestock or gathering pigweed. And as for the heartbroken father-in-law, Yun Lian ensured everyone was taken care of meticulously. With her legs propped up, basking in the sun and perusing account books, she found life quite agreeable indeed.

In this ancient era, she neither married nor engaged in harem intrigue; instead, she had a bunch of little rascals to manage, which wasn’t so bad.

Just as she settled into this idyllic rhythm, her fiancé – whom she believed had long been executed – suddenly appeared with a group of bodyguards.

The guards knelt and declared loudly, “We respectfully invite the Queen Empress to enter the palace!”

Her handsome fiancé gazed at her with profound affection capable of drowning a person, calling out, “Lian’er~”

Yun Lian: ???

“Make sure to come back.”

It was the last request from her daughter, who never acted spoiled.

After Grand Duke Cedric died in battle against monsters, it was Arne’s father who invaded the grand ducal palace.

He nonchalantly took his granddaughter’s life, wanting to steal the demonic power passed down through the grand ducal family.

Arne made a desperate deal with the devil.

“Give me back my family.”

* * *

Arne’s single goal after returning to the past is to meet her daughter again by marrying Cedric.

But Cedric, who used to be so indifferent, has changed too much from before.

“Do you want me to pick you up and carry you there?”

He casually makes cheeky remarks and approaches without hesitation, even going so far as to load every dress in the empire into a carriage and send them over.

I should be saying let’s just get married instead of this…

"Call me Leopold."... more>>

'Leopold? The tyrant emperor Leopold that I know?'

To avoid death, Yerin, who had possessed the villainess Ariel in the novel, avoided Leopold for nearly ten years. She even went so far as to study abroad to stay away from him.

Despite countless efforts, the man she spent one night with at her first social event turned out to be Leopold!

What a twist of fate.

She knew in her head that she shouldn't get involved…., but her heart wanted him.

"Promise me. Promise me that tonight will remain a secret for the rest of our lives."

"I promise."

As his words fell on her ears, Ariel, driven by her instincts, surrendered her body to him, wrapping her white legs around his waist, unwilling to allow even the slightest gap.

***

Was it a mistake to believe in a promise spoken only in bed?

"Where did you run off to after taking my first night?"

"Why are you acting like this!"

“It’s true that you stole my v**ginity, so I’m proposing a contractual marriage.”

Ariel was being proposed to by the man who would eventually kill her.

To add insult to injury, the conditions of the contract were even more absurd.

"This... What does it mean?"

The Crown Prince is dead, and the Great Xuan Dynasty is in turmoil.... more>>

The rebel army is at the gates.

To stabilize the situation and uncover the cause of death of her twin elder brother, Zhao Yan, Princess Changfeng, has no choice but to disguise herself as a man and take on the role of the Eastern Palace Crown Prince, facing the wind and shedding blood.

On the night she enters the Eastern Palace, the Empress repeatedly admonishes her, “As the only prince of a different surname in this dynasty, the cunning Prince Su has controlled the court and the military for many years. His ambitious nature must not be underestimated!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan feels like she’s walking on thin ice every day, her heart pounding.

Until one day, Zhao Yan is ambushed.

When she wakes up, everything is chaotic, and there, the powerful Prince Su, with his disheveled hair and half-dressed attire, looks at her with his dangerously handsome and slightly raised eyes.

This is bad!

Zhao Yan’s mind goes blank, and she turns to run.

In the next moment, her sash is caught.

Prince Su sneers and his voice carries a hint of displeasure, “Running away so soon, isn’t that improper?”

“The Little Crown Prince” with ink-black hair scattered and a pale face stammers, “I… I’m going to review the memorials.”

“Sure.”

The man leisurely hooks her hair strands, his voice low and hoarse, “As the Crown Prince reads memorials, I shall read the Crown Prince.”

——–

People used to say that the naturally rebellious and unruly Prince Su has changed his ways, no longer causing trouble or rebellion, but instead assisting the Crown Prince. He stays overnight in the Eastern Palace every day and even shares a bed with the Crown Prince.

Who would have thought that one day, it would be revealed that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is actually a girl disguised as a boy, causing turmoil in the court.

The whole court is in an uproar, and everyone speculates that Prince Su will seize this opportunity to overthrow the imperial power and take over.

However, during the court interrogation, Prince Su, draped in a black cloak, bows in front of the civil and military officials, reaching out to hold the delicate fingertips of the young girl.

“Don’t be afraid, let’s move forward.”

His voice is stern yet reassuring, as he calmly states, “If anyone dares to speak ill, I’ll kill them; if heaven obstructs, I’ll defy it.” <<less

To avoid a dreadful fate, the only way is to bolster my father’s, Duke Herwin Solgren’s, influence to resist against the emperor.

Yeah. If Dad protects me, I’ll be fine! That’s all there is to it… except for one little problem.

“Cough, cough…!”

My dad is too frail.

Herwin silently drew his sword. The blood dripping from the blade belonged to the assassins scattered in the corridor.

“Sloppy.”
