Don't Obsess Over A Married Woman (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
It was a sight impossible to believe even when witnessed firsthand.
That all those countless blades had been sent flying in different directions by just a single trajectory created by Sir Joseph.
“…Yes, I’m alright now. But how about you, Sir Joseph?”
His bright red eyes softened into a gentle curve, blooming into a full smile across his face.
“As you can see, I’m perfectly fine.”
Indeed, Sir Joseph showed no signs of injury at all. His expression carried the same calm composure as always.
How strange. Did I see it wrong?
‘But when he appeared before my eyes just now…’
He had seemed somehow uneasy.
“I’ll support you from now on, Stepmother.”
“Oh.”
Now that he mentioned it, I noticed there was another person beside me—Cardiel, who until just moments ago had been frozen in shock, even more startled than I was.
“Thank you for saving my stepmother, Sir Joseph.”
“I merely did what anyone would have done.”
The role of supporting me transferred from Sir Joseph to Cardiel. Yet something about Cardiel’s demeanor seemed slightly off.
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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
A naturally dark female lead who could accidentally destroy the world but is actually an honest person VS a weak, pitiful, and helpless but skilled fighter, beautiful white-cut black male lead

Yet constantly having to blindly follow Sir Joseph’s advice without understandin
At first I was like “you have to listen to him” but her view point is extremely valid. He is a stranger telling you to do things and unless mindless you are going to question things
“Hah.”
Opp- he is looking like a beige/red flag🥴… that makes sense though that much time alone with something in your head would drive u mad
Still, I felt quite proud that even in declining, he managed to phrase it so pol
Unfortunately he doesn’t mean that… you should still offer (teens never say what they truly mean when Ansty)
