MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons - Chapter 49

Zephany Draven is a shy, clumsy celebrity journalist who is constantly ridiculed for not getting the big scoops. She is soft-spoken and easily intimidated, so she looks weak. However, behind closed doors, she's Eclipse, an altogether tougher, loud-mouthed agent and quite ruthless and efficient.Kendrick Montclair is a gentle, positive artist who loves his family and remains optimistic despite his struggles. His gentle nature makes him easy to take advantage of. But secretly, he's Obscura, a cold, ruthless agent who is efficient and silent.Both work as partners in a secret organization that preserves hidden truths erased by governments, yet they remain completely unaware of each other's true identities.Their goal is to reach the highest level of clearance to access classified information. But just when they're on the verge of success, they fail.Then, a mysterious man appears with an offer—a contract marriage in exchange for the information they desperately seek. Trapped with no alternative, they sign the deal.But neither expected what would happen next.-------------Kendrick and Zephany sat by the glass wall, waiting for their food when a car suddenly crashed through. Kendrick pulled Zephany to safety just in time, but both got small cuts from the broken glass.“Are you okay?” they asked, checking each other.To their astonishment, the cuts healed before their eyes.Their minds raced. “Beside me, the only person I know who has that ability is.”“No! She can't be that loud, short-tempered woman!”“No! He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!”“Did I marry my secret partner in crime?” They both shuddered at the thought.

The great journey of an ordinary martial artist.“Once your habit is tainted, you have no choice but to live as a dog forever. Do not turn the wolf inside you into a dog.”

In a single moment, he had lost everything he possessed.His father had disowned him; he had lost his title as prince, and the nobles he had considered his friends had turned their backs on him. Finally, he had been exiled.And it was all because of the “Otherworldly Shopping System.”Still, no one, including Luke, could understand the value of this ability. As hope faded from his heart, it reappeared in the farthest northern region of the Empire, in a freezing cold area.10,000 cubic metres of water to irrigate the land? You can get it for just three gold coins.Perhaps he should establish a new farm? 100 high-quality cows for just 200 gold.Perhaps he wishes to establish a clothing workshop? Building a ready-made structure would only cost 500 gold.This is his opportunity, the opportunity of Luke, the Light of the Empire. An abandonment worth a world.
