I Will Live for Your Death (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 123
From the morning, both the Chief Maid and the Chief Steward of the Imperial Palace arrived simultaneously.
Had there ever been such a thing since morning? Ilyd concealed her flustered expression with effort and offered a greeting.
“Good morning. What brings you here?”
“His Imperial Majesty the Emperor instructed us to deliver this.”
One of the attendants immediately behind them presented a box that looked extravagantly ornate at a glance. Ilyd’s eyes narrowed slightly. She could guess what was inside without even opening it.
‘How unusual.’
Alice quickly stepped forward and accepted the box. Normally, receiving a gift would be the end of the matter, yet neither the Chief Steward nor the Chief Maid left the office.
“…Were you given orders to return after witnessing the Empress open this box and inspect its contents?”
“…”
Silence was confirmation enough. The corners of Ilyd’s lips twitched faintly.
Though the word “gift” should always sound pleasant, it felt anything but appealing now. She opened the box on the table with little enthusiasm.
Naturally, even after opening it, no dramatic wave of emotion swept over her. Lynette and Alice had to suppress the sighs rising in their throats at the sight inside.
Inside the box lay a white dress, carefully folded, its subtle embellishments catching the eye.
It seemed as though someone had dusted it with powdered snowflakes. An ethereal rainbow shimmered dazzlingly, almost painfully bright. Judging by the complete absence of lace or ribbons, it appeared the Emperor had indeed considered the Empress’s taste.
Objectively, it was an exceedingly beautiful gown—but she had no desire to touch it.

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.

Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
