An Incomplete Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Last night, the violent storm finally subsided.
Olivia took a deep, steadying breath.
‘If only you hadn’t been in my womb… Elena, my daughter, could have had a fresh start. So you must fulfill your purpose for both yourself and your mother.’
The count, who had already gathered the bank guarantee, identification papers, and passport, glanced down at Olivia collapsed on the chaotic floor of the room with a look of disdain, then turned and walked away.
It had been a night marred by ruthless violence. Anne sobbed uncontrollably, yet somehow Olivia could not shed a single tear.
At six years old—after her family’s business collapsed, her father passed away, and her mother left home, leaving her utterly alone—Han Ji-an had survived.
Everything had fallen apart, and even then, when nothing could possibly get worse, she hadn’t cried. Nothing had ever been solved by tears.
After all, this world was full of problems that couldn’t be fixed or controlled.
Yet, she had never given up on life.
“Don’t cry, Anne.”
It was a second life, gifted to her like a present.
She couldn’t let it be taken away so easily.
Even if crushed beneath despair until she could barely breathe, as long as her breath hadn’t ceased, she had to fight.
That was how Han Ji-an had always lived—facing this unforgiving world with nothing but her bare self.
“It’ll all work out.”
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.
