At the End of Ruin, There You Are (56 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 23
The bride was indifferent, and the groom’s surprisingly eager wedding day approached.
Grand Duke Lusenford took the lead, doing his utmost to prepare for his grand duchess. In Ostein, her father caused the greatest commotion, repeatedly inspecting Caella’s wedding preparations to ensure nothing was lacking for his motherless daughter.
Amid all this, only the bride herself offered no opinion. Whenever the groom’s side asked what she wanted, she simply replied it didn’t matter—giving only frustratingly vague answers.
Pheon felt remorseful about his first wedding—a ceremony he had deliberately ignored, suffered through alone, and barely remembered—and though Caella knew nothing of it, he was so deeply sorry that he wanted to treat her far better this time. He devoted painstaking care to every detail.
But he was gradually losing his composure.
Has anyone ever remarried a woman they themselves had killed?
*
The woman walking calmly down the aisle, holding her father’s arm, was a radiant spring bride.
She was utterly unsuited to the ruler of the North, who bore the weight of dreary, gloomy winter.
Indeed—she did not fit at all. Her cheeks glowed with a shy rose hue, her eyes beneath long lashes held the clarity of a clear sky, and her straight nose and lips as red as her blush nestled perfectly into her petite face.
The wedding dress and veil clinging to her slender frame were extravagantly long, symbolizing the wealth of Ostein and the grandeur of Lusenford. The woman was beautiful.
“I’ve never seen such a rushed wedding, yet they’ve still managed to arrange everything appropriately.”
“Duchess Monde didn’t come, did she?”
“If she had, she’d be executed on the spot. Where would she dare show her face?”
Whispers passed by the ears of the man marrying the same woman for the second time—sounds he’d never heard during their first wedding.
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.
