A Woman's Duty: Protecting My Husband

"The Big Bad Wolf Has His Eye on the Little White Rabbit"

Recently, a chief steward came to the Lin residence. Mianmian had lost his parents, his betrothed wife-lord had taken a concubine and still wanted to marry him, and his relatives were eyeing his inheritance.

She protected his family business, helped him get out of his childhood engagement, and treated him like a treasure, letting him continue living the life of a young master.

Mianmian was so moved that he decided to give her half his estate.

Who knew the chief steward would wag a finger, peel off her disguise, and reveal her true colors? She made an outrageous demand: "I only want you."

Mianmian muttered, So she wants all of his estate after all. ╯^╰

Mianmian, you have my heart. I'll never deceive you in this life.

/You were the morning sun of my youth, melting the clouds and snow that shrouded my heart./

Upcoming story: "The Treacherous Minister in a Matriarchal World"

Male lead with a split personality x ruthless female lead

Everyone says that Ling Yan, the third son of the Ling family and Grand Councilor of the empire, is a treacherous minister: ruthless, greedy for money, and guilty of every crime. The current emperor is nothing but a puppet in her hands.

As if that weren't enough, the court officials recently noticed that the Grand Councilor was closing in on the emperor, apparently plotting something. Could she be planning to seize power and usurp the throne?

Ling Yan sneered at the news, her expression disdainful. Did they really think she was the sort to lose herself in male beauty?

Until the young emperor suddenly tried to seduce her...

Ling Yan: I take it all back _(:τ"∠)_

Zhao An'an was the second man to become emperor since the founding of the dynasty. The Zhao family had few heirs, and they were all frail. Zhao An'an was the only one who survived to adulthood and could inherit the throne.

He had two personalities. As Zhao Jingshi, he constantly wished he could kill Ling Yan, and after being sent to a matriarchal world, he only wanted to stir up trouble and be an emperor. But as Zhao An'an, he couldn't help chasing after her, tugging at her sleeve and calling her, "Third Sister."

A Little Scene

That time, Zhao An'an's illness worsened, and the cold ached right down to his bones. He thought he wouldn't make it, so he clutched Ling Yan's sleeve. His face was utterly pale, but he kept his voice steady. "Grand Councilor Ling, if you hate me, then take this empire. I'm weak by nature. It wouldn't be surprising if I were blamed for losing the throne."

Ling Yan paused. "This empire is too small. It won't make up for what I want."

The light in Zhao An'an's eyes instantly dimmed. The one thing he could offer her was something she didn't want. His fingers stiffened as he slowly let go of Ling Yan's sleeve. In a mere whisper, he asked, "Then what do you want?"

Ling Yan clasped Zhao An'an's limp hand, her voice low and husky. "You. I want you."

This vast empire is worth less to me than you.
