I Have A Terminally Ill Duke As My Husband (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 23
“Luan, what is all this?”
After waking up past 10 a.m. with an enormously swollen cheek, having been scolded by Charles and Clea, Mercian applied ice packs and entered the dining room.
Seeing nearly 1.5 times more food than usual, Mercian looked at Luan with astonished eyes and asked.
“I heard you skipped dinner last night. It felt lighter than usual when I held you yesterday, so I asked them to prepare a bit more.”
Is this really just “a bit more”?
Mercian looked at Luan with a bewildered expression at the mountain of food laid out before her.
By the way… doesn’t this man dislike me for being chubby?
Or perhaps… since he’ll be leaving soon, he simply doesn’t care whether I’m chubby or not?
Mercian suddenly became curious about what Luan was thinking.
“Luan. I’m asking you seriously—don’t you find my figure unattractive?”
At Mercian’s question, Luan looked at her carefully with a serious expression and replied,
“Which part of your figure am I supposed to dislike, my lady?”
“No, Luan, don’t joke. The truth is, I’m a bit plumper than most noble young ladies. And because my sister is so slender, the contrast makes it even more noticeable.

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!
