Turning Defeat into Victory

"I really want to see what you, this woman, are here for. Now that you have already committed such an indecent act, I don't believe that His Highness will still allow you to stay by his side."

At this moment, the corners of Yun Xue's mouth curled up into an unfathomable smile. All kinds of thoughts surfaced in her heart. In order to stabilize her position, he was already willing to do anything.

This was because in her heart, Mu Xingluo was not worthy of all of this. At the thought of this, Yun Xue's eyes shot out a cold light, but her heart also began to become nervous. She only hoped that this matter would have a good outcome and that she would no longer live in such a sorry state.

He did not know what was going on with the servant girls.

Yun Xue originally thought that this painting would be able to come back and inform her, but the servant girl did not have any clues. This made Yun Xue feel a wave of nervousness in her heart. However, Yun Xue could already realize that she could not continue to sit here and wait for death. She used her fastest speed to come over.

In fact, he had planned all of this for a long time. At this critical moment, he had even sent someone to inform Xiao Yehan. In Yun Xue's heart, this kind of important matter also needed to be known by Xiao Yehan.

At this moment, those people had already rushed over. Yun Xue felt even more nervous, but she began to become excited. Because under her exquisite plan, Mu Xingluo would definitely be ruined.

All of them had placed their hopes on this matter. However, when everyone rushed over, Mu Xingluo was standing there perfectly fine. She had a solemn expression on her face. After seeing that group of people arrive, Mu Xingluo still acted very naturally. It seemed that everything had nothing to do with her.

What was unexpected was that the bribed servant girl was having an affair with the guard. When Mu Xingluo saw the two of them in this state, she could not help but frown. Her eyes showed her disgust. Mu Xingluo did not want to stay there awkwardly, so she walked out.

The other people had heavy expressions on their faces and all of them looked flustered. However, Yun Xue was the only one who was shocked. Her exquisite little face immediately turned pale. She was obviously frightened and thought that her plan had been exposed.

Yun Xue was already panicking and did not know what to do. After a while, the servant girl seemed to have realized that someone was coming. She immediately rolled down and knelt in front of everyone. She cried like a pear blossom covered in rain, showing an expression of extreme grievance.

"I hope Your Highness can see clearly that I was forced to do such a thing by the guard who sold the medicine. It was not this servant's will."

The servant girl instantly pointed all the spearheads at the guard and completely ignored him. When the guard heard the servant girl's words, his body could not help but tremble suddenly. He was already dumbfounded, but after thinking about it, he thought that the servant girl was now a grasshopper on the same rope as him.

Therefore, the guard did not do anything stupid and remained calm. At this moment, he seemed to have remembered what their mission was. He had an idea and pointed at Mu Xingluo as he spoke loudly.

"This time, it has nothing to do with me at all. It's clearly Faye Wong's doing. Because I've been lonely for too long, Wang Ye is busy with government affairs, so he doesn't have time to accompany Faye Wong. That's why he can do such an indecent thing. If he wants to find a man, Milky Way will drug me."

The guard instantly put on a righteous look and seriously told them all these unbearable things. When the other people heard the words of the municipal party committee, they also expressed that they were very busy and turned their gazes to Mu Xingluo.

Mu Xingluo found the guard's words extremely laughable. She did not expect herself to be the scapegoat again. She felt that it was ridiculous but did not say anything. The guard became even more serious after seeing that no one came to refute him.

"The reason why it's like this is because that servant girl accidentally barged in. Unfortunately, I wanted to lose control and that happened just now. I really have to apologize for tarnishing everyone's eyes."

After he finished speaking, he kowtowed to everyone to show his loyalty. Mu Xingluo could already feel that all the spearheads were pointed at her, so she did not have the intention to say anything more.

The rest of the people still did not speak, but one could tell from their eyes what they were thinking. After Mu Xingluo heard the guard's words, she also expressed that it was extremely natural.

Mu Xingluo did not panic. Instead, she smiled gently, thinking that everything was too ridiculous. Now, Yun Xue was panicking. Seeing Mu Xingluo's calm appearance, Yun Xue could not help but break out in cold sweat.

Mu Xingluo saw the guards and servant girls 'series of schemes and smiled lightly.

Mu Xingluo's hearty laughter made everyone present very confused. They did not know what Mu Xingluo's laughter meant. Mu Xingluo looked around and said,

"This is really a kind person who can't be seen through at all. If it weren't for these discerning people, I really don't know how they would have been misled by you."

Mu Xingluo said to the guard. In fact, Mu Xingluo's words were directed at Yun Xue. Mu Xingluo had long understood that all of this was Yun Xue's doing.

After all, Yun Xue was the only person in the entire Imperial Residence who could do such an unexpected thing. Mu Xingluo was also very clear about it now. After the guard heard Mu Xingluo's words, he showed a very confused look.

He did not know what Mu Xingluo was trying to say. When Mu Xingluo saw him pretending to be crazy, she could not help but shake her head and speak unhurriedly.

"You've already been in the wang fu for so long, don't you know what it means to behave yourself?"

Charlotte Bourbon, a 19-year-old widow, was happy in her life after she got married to the man of her dreams. However, because of a sudden illness, her husband died within a month, and Charlotte's life came to a sudden halt. ‘She became the curse for her husband that he died young.’ ‘She is the one, who killed her husband.’ ‘She should have died with her husband.’ Numerous such things Charlotte would hear from the people around her in the palace when she decided to take her life. However, was it that easy to die? Édouard Bourdillon was the eldest son of King Christian Bourdillon of the Kingdom of Escana. He decided to marry the widow of his late younger brother so that he could take over the Beromont territory which his brother possessed. But was this the only reason he wanted to marry Charlotte? ~~~~~~~~ "What are you doing?" Terrified Charlotte asked as she saw Édouard unbuttoning his shirt. "I am hot, so I am taking off the shirt," Édouard said and reached for the last button. "But it's cold weather," Charlotte said and knitted her brows. "Not here, Charlotte. Your mere presence around me makes me hot," Édouard said and took off the shirt. "Ahhh!" Charlotte quickly brought her hands in front of her eyes and covered them. From the gaps between her fingers, she peeked out of curiosity. A lump formed in her throat as she saw his perfectly carved body with a few scars on the chest and near the abdomen. Charlotte saw him approaching her and she tightly shut her eyes. A few seconds later, when she realized everything was so quiet, she opened her eyes again and found him before her. She promptly moved back and hit the wall behind her. She thought to leave the room when Édouard caged her petite body between his arms. "Are you going to—" "Yes. I want to be wild with you tonight, Little Cherry," Édouard said with a smirk, and the next second, he lifted her in his arms. ~~~~~ *Cover art is mine.

The Tyrant's Pet

Aries Aime Heathcliffe. A princess from the small kingdom of Rikhill was loved by all. With her beauty that was enchantingly demure and a wise mind, she had caught a lot of attention and captured the hearts of many. One of them was the dashing crown prince of the Maganti Empire. Overcome by the desire to have her and his interest in the land of the small kingdom, the crown prince of the said empire would stop at nothing. The knights from the Maganti Empire marched across the masses and seized the four-hundred-year-old kingdom of Rikhill. The kingdom of Rikhill fell into ruin overnight. The crown prince left no members of the royal family alive aside from his war trophy, Aries. After suffering in his hands, Aries found the perfect chance to escape. That was when he took her to the world summit. A gathering of each sovereign from each kingdom and empire for peace talks. There, she met the emperor of Haimirich, Eustass Silvestri Abel Bloodworth. Overwhelm by desperation, Aries begged him to take her in. It was too late when she realized that the man she asked for help was far more cruel, twisted, and downright diabolical than the crown prince for taking her as his… pet! EXCERPT: With a pair of crimson eyes hovering over her, Aries held her breath. When the corner of his lips curled up devilishly, she couldn’t react fast as he swiftly flipped their position. She only realized it when she was saddling him, gazing down at Abel, wide-eyed. “No one is above me in this empire and even out — not even the law, but look at you,” he intoned with a devilish smirk. “Staring down on me… so daunting.” Aries bit her lip, planting her palm on her inked chest. “Your Majesty…” “Do you now understand the power you hold, darling?” Abel carefully wrapped his fingers around her wrist, chuffed by her reaction. “Only you, Aries, may go above me and the only person in this world who can look down on me. No one else.” He raised an arm and ran his fingers through the side of her hair, settling his palm on the back of her head before he pulled her down until her face was a palm length away from him. “You better use this at your own disposal,” he whispered, tilting his head as he lifted it up to claim what’s his. HER. Meet Eustass Silvestri Abel Bloodworth, the sadistic tyrant, who reigned an empire with an iron fist. With his pet, Aries’ increasing presence in his boring, dark life, he was set to kill her. But alas, every time he thought of taking her life, he finds himself changing his mind. The more he kept her by his side, the more it got harder to dispose of her. And the more he yearned for something deeper and darker... it was driving him insane. With a secret he was keeping from her, what would Abel do if Aries found out about the rotting truth behind the empire and the emperor? Would he kill her? Or kiss her? Perhaps cage her? And if she found out that Abel wasn’t just a normal human, would she try to escape? Or would she accept that he wasn’t just a demon incarnate? In a complicated world that tainted them black, was love even possible to bloom between a pet and her master? Watch as these two play the dangerous and insane game of love and lust. Who would be the master and the pet? Who was the prey?
