“Grandmother.”
“Ughaaah… Miss, could you help me with my luggage…?”
When the old woman held out her large bundle toward Kelita, she smiled as if wondering why it was being offered and pointed with her eyes toward the castle.
“Do you see that path over there? If you take that one instead of this, it’ll be quicker and easier.”
“…….”
The grandmother took back her bag with trembling hands and let out a deep sigh.
“Miss, I’m grateful, so I’ll give you a gift.”
Kelita smiled brightly and nodded.
“Yes, please give it to me.”
The grandmother rummaged through her bag for a long while, then pulled out a tiny vial no bigger than a thumb from deep inside.
A sparkling, transparent liquid sloshed gently within it.
“What is this?”
“Tears of Resolve.”
“Tears of…? Excuse me, what did you say? Your teeth are missing, so it’s hard to hear you clearly.”
The old woman’s face scrunched up sharply.
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.
