I Will No Longer Live As Your Villainess (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Lorilors regretted it. No matter how much money he was given, even if he had a woman.
He should never have gotten entangled with the House of Count Paul Heredian. What use was it now to sigh and regret? It was utterly useless. All he saw before him was darkness.
The dignity of his house, already fallen to the ground, showed no sign of ever being restored, and every business his family had run had collapsed one after another. He couldn’t endure his present reality without drinking. Running away was too terrifying—and it was all because of Lorencia.
Honestly, he’d considered fleeing countless times, but the words Lorencia had last spoken to him sent chills down his spine, making it impossible to step outside the mansion.
“Kindness can conceal a flaw, but a flaw can never be concealed by any amount of kindness, Viscount Lorilors.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You might have managed to hide Miss Sophie’s affair somehow. But your current situation, Viscount Lorilors, cannot be concealed by any amount of kindness.”
“How do you even know about Sophie?”
“Does it matter how I know? Isn’t what lies ahead—the duel of honor—more important?”
“Cancel it quickly! You monster!”
“Let me give you one warning as a monster: don’t send a proxy to the duel of honor, don’t abandon all your honor, and don’t run away. And on the day of the duel of honor…”
Lorilors’ brown eyes trembled, filled with an uneasy light as if suppressing sheer terror. Unable to bear the anxiety any longer, he reached for more alcohol. He simply couldn’t endure it otherwise.
“I can’t possibly defeat Prince Luans in a duel of honor!”
How could that bastard daughter, who’d been locked away in the count’s mansion, possibly know about Sophie? Or perhaps, being a monster, she could read minds. The thought alone sent shivers coursing continuously over his body. He wanted to run—but what if he fled foolishly and got caught?
Lorencia had promised she’d use him only as needed and leave once she no longer required him. He knew he had to wait, but he was terrified.

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!
