He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 123
Frederick gritted his teeth. His jaw muscles tensed so visibly that Adrian could clearly see the strain.
Frederick was normally not one to show much emotion, yet now his breathing had grown ragged, and he could no longer conceal his agitation.
But Adrian merely observed his father’s expression with detached calm. Irritated further by that attitude, Frederick warned him.
“Still, it’s fortunate you’re at least showing sound judgment. As you said yourself, should this matter fail, you’ll no longer be Crown Prince of Harkin.”
“I shall humbly take those words to heart.”
Though Frederick had directly referenced the danger of losing his position, Adrian didn’t so much as blink.
Frederick simply couldn’t fathom where that confidence came from. Though Adrian was his own son, he’d often felt the urge to tear open his mind and see what lay inside.
In the end, Frederick found himself asking him outright,
“Are you truly set on walking this path, even if it leads to irreversible consequences?”
“I don’t usually go back on decisions I’ve already made.”
“…For heaven’s sake.”
Uncharacteristically, Frederick let out a heavy sigh. He was clearly trying his best to change his son’s mind.
He knew full well such words would only make Adrian more stubborn—but Frederick couldn’t help himself.
Because this time, he’d felt it unmistakably.

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.
