Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 48
“I’m happy because you’re here.”
Transparent tears filled Yuriella’s wet eyes. The dazzlingly shimmering letters blurred through her tears, losing their shape and rippling like winter sea glimmers.
“No… No…”
Because I’m here, you’re happy?
That can’t be. It just can’t.
I haven’t done anything right at all.
Looking back, there’s only painful regret and self-reproach.
I should never have been born at all. I want to slash apart my entire past existence, burn it somewhere, and erase it forever…
“Lord of the Magic Tower… you know that too… I’m not someone who brings happiness to others.”
“Your Highness.”
“I… brought death and despair. Wherever I passed… only sorrow and tears remained. I… I…”
Finally, large tears streamed endlessly down Yuriella’s pale cheeks, dripping one by one from her delicate jaw.

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.
