SMCS Ch 25 — Sweet VS Sexy

The rays of the afternoon sun seeped over the massive mahogany walls. Basked in light, the dragon that had been elaborately carved into the wall seemed to be able to come to life at any moment now. Among the many drawing rooms in the Berhardt family’s mansion, the walls of the most luxurious drawing room of them all was adorned with ‘Dragon’, the legendary monster that had been defeated by the Order of Ecrestus’ first Holy Knight Commander. The carving in the wall was also a symbol of pride for the Berhardt family, who had always led the Order of…

The Empress Dowager was looking for her? Yan Shu found it somewhat surprising. Slightly anxious, Ren Dong whispered in a small voice, “Could it be that Imperial Concubine Li and Talented Lady Zhang…” — — After all, she had been the one to impersonate a servant of Linhua Palace and spread the story of Imperial Concubine Li’s paternal aunt around. Unperturbed, Yan Shu said, “I don’t think so.” Based on their relationship, the system would’ve already reported the news to her if something bad had happened.

SMCS Ch 24 — I’ll Make Sure You Come Back to Me

“I definitely sent them. …Almost every single day without fail.” At a time when words I couldn’t believe were echoing in my head, the sound of a bell that could be only heard by me continuously rang out as if it couldn’t miss this opportunity to.  Ding dong! 「‘Trying a taste of the obsessive maniac’ proudly buys 3000 shares.」 「Come on down here~ Just have one bite~ How is it~ It’s tasty right~?」

SMCS Ch 23 — A Story I Didn’t Know

With one hand on the door frame, Periot came in and looked over the officer with a scathing gaze silently for a moment. Handsome features that couldn’t be hidden by his icy expression seemed to be highlighted even greater today. However, I was so flustered that my eyes almost rolled back in shock. D-Did he perhaps just hear me cursing him? …It certainly seems like he heard everything? No, that’s not the problem right now! I looked over at the officer hurriedly. ‘You said he wouldn’t come today! You very clearly said he wasn’t going to come today though!’

IBVIAAN Ch 66 — Erased Certainty

I had heard the account of having black hair and black eyes several times. However, I too, had looked like that in my previous life as well. So I had never thought of making such an association when I first saw Song Ara. “Because Your Majesty is the one who saved us!” The bright appearance of Song Ara flashed through my mind. She quickly adapted to a place that she was seeing for the first time and gained the favorability of those around her. Her bright personality and her pretty way of speaking also matched with the saintess from a…

IBVIAAN Ch 65 — As Much as You Love Me

“Apparently they found no sign of a modified teleportation circle.” Frody was lying face down on his bed and browsing through a report that his subordinate had brought back. From the beginning to the end, it talked about a woman who had broken into the venue. “That’s how the punks in the Demon King’s Palace work.” Frody got out of bed with a smug smile on his face. His pet snake followed after him by itself. The long gown that he wore which was still dragging along the edge of the bed left a scent of gold osmanthus in every…

IBVIAAN Ch 64 — What’s Wrong with Being Perverted Between Lovers?

From there, the welcoming banquet fizzled out.  Since a woman had suddenly dropped into the venue, everything had descended into chaos. And to top it all off, the atmosphere had become even more awkward since I had stopped the guards who had thought she was an intruder and tried to punish her.  Nevertheless, the child who was crying out of fear seemed like a high school student, no matter how many times I looked at it. So I couldn’t just leave her to herself.

IBVIAAN Ch 63 — The Demon Realm’s Best Male Aphrodisiac

The maids showed off their skills today as well for my welcoming party. It seemed to take much more time and technique than when the priests had put in their utmost effort for the proclamation ceremony.  “Just how in the world did they twist my hair up like this?” It was so fascinating since they hadn’t even used hairspray.  “The venue itself will be warm, but you’re going to take a walk outside, then please call for us and ask for a shawl.” “Okay, then I’ll do that.”

No matter how anyone else looked at it, Talented Lady Zhang was in an extremely bad mood tonight. When she returned to Linhua Palace and sat in front of the mirror to remove her makeup, she said hatefully, “I wasn’t the one His Majesty was looking at tonight.” Her palace maid, Chun’e, hurriedly rushed to console her, “Talented Lady, don’t let your imagination run wild1. If it wasn’t you that His Majesty was looking at, could it be that he was looking at Beautiful Lady Li? Just look at how shabbily she dressed.” “It’s exactly her.”

IBVIAAN Ch 62 — Yours

Although I was momentarily embarrassed, unable to find the right reply in the end, I still ended up continuing to look around the Demon King’s Palace. The messy situation was soon forgotten due to the amount of beautiful treasures that were hidden in every corner of the palace. It wasn’t until evening when it came up in my mind once again. Upon seeing the maids who came in to help me prepare for bed, I sent them out once again with a strange ‘uwah’ sound. I endured without changing out of my clothes since I thought I should have an…

MBCEM Ch 3

this chapter is brought to you by mioas translator, proofreader and editor! For the first time, Yuwen Lan discovered that someone knew his secret. He looked up at the seemingly inconspicuous woman in the far corner. Just who was she? Not too long after, all the other imperial concubines soon discovered that the Emperor’s eyes seemed to be always only pointed in one direction. Following his line of sight, they looked down and saw that it was two women who were sitting at a table near the door of the hall. One was dressed plainly, as if she were a…

IBVIAAN Ch 61 — You’re My Woman

Although it was rather embarrassing for me to say, honestly speaking, I seemed to have the wrong preconception in my head of what the demon realm would be like. I had imagined an almost stereotypical red land, a black palace, et cetera. But all such preconceptions flew away as soon as the light from the teleportation circle dissipated and the world unfolded before my very eyes. “Welcome to the Demon King’s Palace.” “Wow!” I held nothing but admiration now.  I was right about it being a vast expanse of land. But on the contrary, it wasn’t the gloominess or red…

MBCEM Ch 2

Yuwen Lan walked into the hall and looked up, seeing something similar to an ocean of precious stones and pearls, the jewellery that was draped over these women’s heads and bodies almost dazzling him under the reflection of the hall’s light.  Noticing the fragrance of cosmetics in the air becoming stronger, he frowned slightly and said lowly, “All rise.” All the women complied, returning to their seat one after another, each and every one of them seemingly putting on their noblest bearing in their formal attires, yet they all still quietly cast their gazes toward him. “The hall seems to…

IBVIAAN Ch 60 — Beautifully, Boldly, and Exactly Like You Would

Though I had thought it would turn out like this, but still… “You’ll basically be leaving your string that’s tying you to life with me; is that really alright with you? Even if I might suddenly change my mind and decide to kill you?” “Then I’ll just accept it.” Although my eyes were round, he smiled rather faintly. “If that happens, although the Duchy might be worried, at least I’ll be able to walk hand in hand with my younger sister on her final road.” “…” “I couldn’t even be by that child’s side and hold her hand as she…

MBCEM Ch 1

The cold wind swirled in the courtyard and plucked away the last dead leaf from the old tung tree.  Ren Dong carried a food box, trotting away, and finally returned to the hall of Yongning Palace. Compared to the other palaces in the harem, this place was secluded and remote, and the furnishings in the hall were rather simple.  A charcoal bamboo basket made the room just barely warm.  Seeing her coming back, Yan Shu, who was warming herself by the charcoal basket, immediately asked, “What are we eating today?”

IBVIAAN Ch 59 — Dying and Coming Back to Life

A stormy few days had passed since the proclamation ceremony had ended. The entire empire had been turned upside down by what had occurred that day, but the Great Temple, where it had all started, was still peaceful. “Wow, I can’t even file a claim to Lunar.” I clicked my tongue at the priests that were struggling to fill in the holes in the floor and the ceiling. “Isn’t it enough that they cooperated nicely with you on that day?” Lydia comforted me, telling me not to worry about the cost. A day after the full moon had passed, Lunar’s…

IBVIAAN Ch 58 — The Cruellest Word in the World

“…Ara.” I could sense the complex emotions in Linden’s voice that was calling out my name. “Lecht. Could you wait here for a moment?” Lecht had a dissatisfied expression on his face at my request, but he nevertheless still quietly retreated without any hesitation. I took Linden to a nearby room where there were no people. Linden opened his mouth as soon as the door closed. “Why did you do that?” “…Did it make you feel bad?” “I told you not to do anything dangerous…!” “Linden.” I quietly cut off his words that were said in a choked voice. I…

IBVIAAN Ch 57 — Those Who Touch My People

The fight was rather one-sided. Although Ziken’s knights were good, Alion’s knights were also second to none as well. Moreover, the knights that Ziken had brought had only been brought with the purpose of breaking Olivia out of prison, so they were far fewer in number compared to Alion’s knights, who had been gathered to guard the entire temple. Even I could still tell who had the upper hand despite not even knowing how to fight. “Linden, could you go and evacuate the nobles?” Although the fight was going to end soon anyways, I still took the opportunity to push…

“Your Highness, can we take a short break…?” “It must’ve been very tiring for you, right?” Ziken guided the horse with Olivia in his arms. “Haa, just how hard was it for you while you were in there?” He brushed his thumb over her chapped lips with a pained expression. “I want to go wash up in the stream, even just a bit.” “Alright, it’ll be safe for a while since we’ve already come this far.” Ziken let out a sigh as he turned back to look at the way they came from. He got off the horse first and…
