The Emperor's Concubine 소설 & 이야기

"Legally, you don't exist. You're a ghost. And ghosts can't file for divorce." "No... no, that's impossible. I'm standing right here! The embassy—" "The embassy thinks you died of a violent fever in that prison, thanks to a very expensive medical report we procured," Natalie chimed in, leaning against the Mirror with her arms crossed. "You really underestimate how far a little bit of Qunnix money can go in developing nations, cousin." The room felt like it was spinning. "The prison... the drugs in my bag... it was you." The horrifying puzzle pieces were suddenly locking into place. "You set me up."

She increased it again, and he continued matching it without difficulty. Selene, now half jogging with physician texts in hand, looked spiritually detached from her body. By the time Halrem swept through the archway toward the palace terrace, three gardeners, two maids, and one elderly groundskeeper had witnessed the extraordinary sight of the Silver Empire’s empress attempting to outwalk the northern emperor while the northern emperor pursued her with the calm determination of a man on campaign. Halrem stopped at the terrace stairs and rounded on him. “This has become a hunt.”

It felt like a place where a person could be plain and not be hunted. Sophia came in with mail. She dropped it on the table and sat hard. “There’s a note,” she said. “In the box. From someone who knows the old name.” Elara’s hands froze over the grinder. “Did they open it?” “No.” Sophia’s eyes were quick. “I did not. I want you to decide.” Elara took a breath, held it, let it out slow. She thought of the life she had left. The divorce that never said the child existed. The talk in boardrooms that would never learn about a small beating heart. She wanted the world clean, small, and private.

They held amusement, yes, but also something deeper—something that made her stomach twist. "Don’t ever forget, my dear," he murmured, his voice honeyed with arrogance. "You are being served by someone who owes me allegiance." The realization struck her like a slap. "Kang Yeonho!" She scoffed, shaking her head at her own foolishness. Of course. She had been naïve—pathetically so—to think otherwise. Kang Yeongo was not hers. He was a servant of the palace, bound by duty and loyalty to the royal family.

how does one comfort someone who says, "The emperor will return and the person I want next to me is his concubine... how the hell could I have her time for me?" I bit my lip hard, so hard that I felt the ferrous taste invade my palate. If only Callisto had other concubines - like Asmodeus..., but no. He had only Asra. Asra. The emperor’s only concubine. I shuddered. I didn’t want that. If I had known her before... if I had been able to stop it, but... how? My eyes overflowed. Asra had more than a millennium of existence. She was here at the beginning of everything and me? I was barely 20 years old... even if I joined all the times I reincarnated, I still don’t know if I would reach the age t

She didn’t even question her rude action. “Who are you?” “Shadow?” “No, not that…” She pronounced it deliberately. “Who. Are. You? The role in the Underworld.” “Ah! You mean my position?” Juviana blinked. “... okay. The emperor.” “The emperor?” Cocked brow. “It may sound ridiculous as the title was reserved for the male ruler that united the continent, however, circumstances happened so, I became the emperor. Mostly to hide my gender for my own comfort. No one except SQE and Outcast knew the existence of the emperor and even the gender.”

“Yes master, everyone in the country knew how much Princess Li was dear to Emperor Jun. Apart from Ministers and Royal servants, no one knew that they were cousins. All of the people thought that she is the sibling of Emperor Jun because of their similar faces and her title.” “But then… why did he behave like that with our Little Dumpling? Why did everyone say that he has so many concubines?” “Master, Emperor Jun never had a single consort besides our Miss, let alone having concubines. Despite being bugged by many elder ministers, he never paid attention to them and always shrugged it off. In that matter, he had the same opinion as you about having a single consort. He was forceful with Miss

If a man wanted to, he could stand up and fight back, he would have a chance, but most women wouldn't. So instead I find their weaknesses and exploit them. Smiling at the next name I go to the club. Walking in I watch as everyone stays quiet. I see Evan look towards the fire exit, moving I rush to block it, grabbing him I throw him back. "What do you know?" "Well, the princess won't be ruling the city for long, that is for sure." He laughs, moving I punch him. "Who took her?" "You kill me you will never know." He smiles smugly. "I was expecting your visit, after standing right there watching them talk and listening, I couldn't wait to watch her empire fall down."

Mae said as they both went in on the carriage, as soon as the four of them already taken a sit inside of the carriage, the horse and the man who's leading the horse starts lashing moderately at the horse, then the horse starts moving, heading to the Dragon Clan. Actually the Emperor has a lot of harems in his palace, the reason why is because those women beg him to make them as her harems. Though he doesn't need one and he also doesn't want one, he refused but those women were crying, living like a hell as their clothes were torn because of their ex-master's who treat them like a dog, so he decided to take them in, and let them stay at the palace. Since the Emperor hate being touch by any wo

I was clutching my stomach and wondering if the emperor wanted me to die from hunger. Maybe he was punishing me for talking back to him. If I had chosen to be his concubine, would he feed me? But then, I wasn't that kind of woman. "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" My stomach growled again. The emperor opened his eyes and stared hard at me. I had no idea what to say. My IQ was dropping exponentially because of hunger.
