"My lady, I already burned all the slavery contracts. As per your instructions, they are all given huge compensations for the years of their loyal service to the manor."After I begged the male lead, perhaps he finally pitied me or he just wants to humiliate me, Li Han agreed and released my people."And Jin'er?""She.. insist on seeing you my lady. That girl is very stubborn and said that she won't leave your side."In my bed, I hugged my knees to my chest and rested my cheek on one knee, closing my eyes.Bai Muro didn't object when I decided the dismissal of all of my servants and as their compensation, I granted their freedom, freed from slavery. Aside from that, I also gave them a good amount of silvers for them to restart their new life. I was too late and couldn't salvage their tongues. I'm afraid that the next time, I.. won't be able to save their lives.These days, Bai Muro's face was dark and ugly. The Prime Minister House became a laughing stock in the capital for having a
The damn author of 'Emperor and I' was one lazy ars***ehole! Because in the novel, the background story of the villain and the male lead weren't much any different. They both had childhood trauma. They were both unloved and ignored.Fighting for the throne, Prince Li Chen was killed and defeated by Li Hai and triumphantly became the new emperor.When the Duke of Hebei's House fell, Li Nian's mother committed suicide. Then the young boy was adopted by Emperor Li Hai. At the age of five, he trained him to be an assassin and spy. He grew up incapable of pain, fear and death— he became the emperor's puppet.When Li Nian met the female lead, for the first time.. his heart skipped a beat. He thought, killing this person will be very satisfying– this arrogant and hot-tempered princess, Chu Wanwan.'What a psycho!'"The assassination failed nevertheless right now, Nan King is in critical condition. Your Highness, we must strike while the iron is hot."I see. The Duke of Hebei was taking this
'This villain.. This crazy villain!'My eyes rested on his face, then I carefully examined this person's athletic build. Seconds later, I heard something clicked, blood started rushing into my head.(Please be advised: the next words contains a series of cursing): 'This motherf*cker! Son of a *beep! Bast*beep! Stup*beep*beep*beep***_ Someone, hurry, give me a gun!''Li Nian was the leader of the bandits! No, he's just a fake bandit. Recalling how I almost sh*t my skirt that day, my nose directly flared. I wanted to attack him like a raging bull.'How did I get myself involved with another psycho this early?' *crying emoticon* 'This poor villainess! I'm so pitiful.'He tried to kidnap me? I mean.. why me? I'm not the female lead. But when I asked him, Li Nian answered mysteriously: "Oh, I'm just collecting datas."Are you.. freaking kidding me?! "Datas..?" I angrily took back my hand from his."Angry?" Li Nian laughed."I wouldn't dare."'Agh! Just once.. I wanna punch him! Please, let
Chu Wanwan squeezed my arm harder before she finally let go of my poor thin arm. The round or moon-shaped silk fan called tuànshàn in my hand almost trembled. Compared to this body, Chu Wanwan is a martial expert whilst.. hello.. I can't even hurt a fly.My steps resumed. We left the female lead in there with a furious look on her gorgeous face. When we finally turned into a corner; I was certain that we were no longer in the female lead's view, my arrogant acting directly fell. My smug and vain face instantly changed into hilarious crying-mess face.'Mother of Pearls!'I need to see a physician. I think the female lead broke my arm. This body is very sensitive to pain.I think Jin'er noticed something. She made a gesture with her hands to the general and the other servants. I don't know how they understand her because they stopped and nodded in response.Jin'er put us in a good distance. She dragged me behind a tree. She let me put down my tuànshàn, her face looked troubled when my
My fingers from his forehead, slid down to his pale cheeks. I pretended to brush the invisible dirt on his porcelain skin. I asked, "Really?"Like a dog wagging his tail to his master, he answered: "I don't care if you lied to me."Li Han met my gaze and his tender eyes, his lips giving in to a smile. He took my hand from his chin; warm fingers touched mine and a palm slid under, forcing my hands apart."Suxin, you can lie to me more." The male lead moved his head to the side, softly kissing my fingers in the process. As if he's saying he wants me to continue lying to him. 'Buddy, you're driving me crazy!'"Please."Li Han held my hand like that of a child who doesn't want to get abandoned by it's mother duck. My eyes trembled. I quickly snapped my hands away from him as if I got burned. I stepped back, putting some more distance between us."How foolish."This is unfair, how does this even make sense? I want to ram my head into the wall. This is really driving me into nuts!My smile
In the original work, the villainess failed. The male lead didn't die with her poison.Needless to say, our beloved Nan King never doubted the female lead. He ordered to conduct more extensive investigations which lead by General Ming. Then, the further investigations proved that the culprit was none other than the eldest legitimate daughter from Left Prime Minister House– Bai Suxin and naturally, the mastermind was the woman's father, the Left Prime Minister Bai Muro.Thus, the beautiful Chu Wanwan was released from prison.The greed in power and corruption of the Bai family and it's relatives were one of the reasons why people in the Li Empire suffered from hunger and poverty. Coincidentally, evidences of the Bai Family's corruptions including bribery or inappropriate gifts, manipulating elections, diverting funds and laundering money from the common/poor citizen of the empire mysteriously appeared in the office of the Minister of Justice.Attempting to kill a dragon's son is high
"By just loving you, how did I.. become this miserable?"The crimson color of his blood that was on his thumb softly touched my lips. The male lead bent down, a delicate kiss brushed my forehead.'Li Han..'My troubled eyes fluttered closed. A traitorous tear rolled down."My lady!""Your Highness!"Urgent shouts and several footsteps came. The scene in front of the guards came as terrifying shock to them. The kiss.. the blood.. the lady..I think General Ming and Jin'er were the first one to moved. I opened my eyes when they tried to pull me away from Li Han."Call the imperial physician!""Your Highness!"And I.. I didn't noticed that I was gripping the male lead's injured shoulders or.. the fact that I was crying.Cold fear spiraled through me. My world was growing hazy. I don't remember much of what happened next. My vision was too blurry due to the unending tears."Go! Find the assassin! Arrest her no matter what!"It was chaos. My memories was swept and dusted by the bloody sce
"He's your son.." I choked."My son?" Concubine Zhi laughed and arched her well maintained brow at me. So high that it almost reached the roof."Ha! Even from the start, I don't really have any hope for that bastard. I also wonder, without any protection of anyone, all these years how did he managed to survive inside the palace? Li Han is really something don't you think, Lady Bai?"His small tormented body, his tears and his screams.. the kid Li Han.. I could barely imagine the male lead's desolation during his childhood.Throughout his life, Li Han was cursed by everyone.Ignored by his father, bullied by his half-siblings, mocked and pushed down by the servants. Since childhood, the numerous times of assassination attempts to the male lead's life were also mentioned in the novel.Even his biological mother.. The fact that his great sufferings have all began to his mother.The male lead have first experienced those mortifying things, the cruelty of life from the person he called mo
