If You Wish For My Death (6 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 148
There are unforgettable moments.
The first sensation spreading through my palm, your face smiling down at me, the warm body heat and sweet fragrance of your embrace.
The gaze that looked at a stranger, the indifferent gestures, the pain burning through my whole body, the trembling voice, and the faint sensations brushed into memory. And you, standing amidst the swirling anemone blossoms.
There is a moment I will never forget—like unexpected misfortune, like miraculous happiness, like an entangled fate whose end cannot be discerned.
Each time those eyes assessed my worth, it was unbearable. The accumulating discomfort took a horrifying shape.
As if already seeing through my thoughts, a low chuckle grazed my ear. The sound, as though looking down from above, sent chills down my spine—but only for an instant.
He never hurried me. He was always like this. He’d don a plausible outer skin and act the benevolent priest—as if solely for my sake, as if I were all he had. His face, blurred, revealed no discernible expression.
“Your beloved family or your cherished lover—which will you choose?”
Why must misfortune always shatter the happiest moments?
Perhaps never before had I wished so fervently to simply die right then and there.

Emerging from the damp, musty sewer, brittle leaves swirled around her. Veronica brushed the dirt off her clothes and shone her lamp around. Though the garden at midnight felt eerie, the lights of the Imperial Palace guided her like signposts. Veronica headed straight toward them.
Where could Father be?
Aside from the occasional passing knights, the palace grounds were deathly silent. Yes—it was far too quiet for a night like this, a night when silence should not be.
It should have been bustling by now. Could something have gone wrong? Veronica, who had been walking down the corridor with muffled footsteps, soon spotted a familiar face.
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.
