49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 148
Walking slowly home, I pondered how I could win Yong Jeong back. Should I go to him and reveal the truth myself?
‘No. He’s too suspicious. If I reveal it myself, he might figure out my intentions. Then he’d just thank me politely and avoid me altogether. Yong Jeong must realize it on his own.’
As I walked alone down the deserted street, lost in thought, I felt many eyes on me from all around. Of course—this was a street frequented by martial artists, and especially those from the Sabak sect. A woman walking alone here would naturally draw attention.
‘Yong Jeong is a deeply suspicious man. Even after finding his benefactor, if anything seems doubtful, he’ll double- and triple-check. I must seize that opportunity.’
Just before exiting the Sabak district, a good idea finally struck me. I turned and ran back the way I’d come.

The next day, flurries of snow fell continuously from dawn. Yong Jeong had rented an entire floor of a luxurious daru and waited there for his benefactor to arrive.
Just as the appointed time approached, a woman clad in a thick fur-lined cloak ascended the stairs. Her appearance vaguely resembled the hazy, fleeting image he remembered.
When Yong Jeong rose to his feet, the woman offered a shy smile and approached.
“You arrived first. I came early on purpose, but I didn’t expect you’d be here already.”
She murmured softly and lowered her eyes. Just as when they’d met before at the inn, she seemed exceedingly bashful.
“I invited you, so of course I should arrive first.”
Yong Jeong spoke gently and gestured toward the central seat.
“Please sit.”
“There’s no one else here?”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
