I'll Abandon the Fake Savior (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
When Yuricien couldn’t say a word, Ivan leaned back deeply into the chair with a haughty expression, saying, “Look at this,” then propped up the back of his head with interlaced fingers and grinned mischievously with a “heh heh.”
“I do have a good eye for people.”
“Uh…”
“Anyway, speaking as someone who sees things as clearly as a pincer, don’t overthink everything. Don’t try so hard to live perfectly. Sometimes you should just let things slide, and sometimes you need to do things half-heartedly. You’re not a waterwheel—how can you keep going full force all the time? Actually, even a waterwheel slows down when the water flow weakens.”
Ivan even crossed his legs. To Yuricien, who had lived her whole life as a noble lady, this posture was completely unfamiliar—no one had ever behaved this way toward her before.
“Pacing yourself isn’t important for nothing.”
Yuricien slowly nodded.
“Yes, you’re right. I suppose I do have a slight tendency to think that way.”
“Slight? More like a lot. You’re doing it right now. Well, it’s not something that changes overnight, so let’s just wait for the captain—no, His Highness the Crown Prince—to help you form new habits. You mentioned a habit of thinking subjectively, right? That’s exactly this.”
Ivan wiggled the foot he’d propped up on his knee.
“Think loosely. And in that looseness, make space not for others—but for yourself.”
Ivan quietly added, as if already preparing an escape route, that such a habit was probably the right one.
Yuricien, who had been quietly chewing over Ivan’s words the whole time, felt strangely unsettled. Over the past few days, she’d been learning about life from everyone she met. Their perspectives and ways of thinking were so different from her own rigid, textbook upbringing that it felt almost miraculous. Yet, at the same time, it seemed these very things were exactly what she’d desperately needed.
After pondering deeply, Yuricien let out a short sigh and spoke.
“But maybe… perhaps His Highness the Prince has recently realized that I actually prefer B a bit more.”

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!
