I Had the Enemy's Baby (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 148
“Finally, the day has come to return my blade to that scoundrel.”
To Madame Cronac, Rowen Castle was nothing more than kindling for her vengeance.
She lifted the hood that fell to her waist and reached beneath her clothes, unwrapping what had been tightly bound around her torso.
Wrapped in layer upon layer of cloth, it resembled a blunt, elongated loaf of bread. Unfurling it revealed a sharp dagger without a sheath.
Its blade, meticulously maintained over many years, gleamed like a mirror, reflecting her wrinkled eyes and brown irises.
The dagger was exquisitely crafted, its hilt flowing seamlessly in a straight line from the blade—no guard in between. The hilt bore golden decorative engravings, clearly marking it as no ordinary object.
Throb.
As she stared into the blade like it was an abyss, a sharp pain stabbed just above her heart—the same spot where it had once pierced deep.

Eleven years ago—no, another year has passed since then, making it eleven now.
Queen Sylvia had visited the village just as Arbor’s dense leaves began turning yellow and withering from the very tips of its branches.
Shhhhh.
Whenever the wind blew, the once-vibrant rustling of leaves now crackled dryly, filling Leoni with an inexplicable unease.
Though the Sacred Tree’s existence was widely known among the continent’s powerful figures, it was only natural that the ruler of the Oberon Kingdom, which sheltered Flonu Village, would be the first to learn of any changes befalling the tree.
‘Arbor’s leaves are wilting… I’ve never seen anything like this.’
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.
