Hoe ma nu chapters does this story contain and doe is have a happy ending?
ReplyDelete132 Chapters. As for a happy ending... I think it's a relative term.
DeleteThank you so much for the update. I was anxiously checking the site everyday. Ahhhh, this is a blessing.

ReplyDeleteThis chapter make me sick at how power hungry the Jiang family are and how stupid MY is. So smart but dumb as donkey when it capsized me to his beloved JB!
ReplyDeleteHer mother just revealed it wasn’t her father that drugged her, because he wouldn’t have had the guts to scheme against the crown prince..
ReplyDeleteOnly MY greatly benefited from the crown prince snatching his fiance, he was able to use it as reason to rebel. He also benefitted from snatching her back, gaining her father’s support and making those worried about him killing the previous Emperor relieved. He keeps telling us how his mother used extreme methods to teach him not to get caught up in love and women.. JB is just a chess piece
