Interest Compounds on Revenge (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Lea was so overjoyed and excited that she didn’t even realize she was staring blankly at Terren with a foolish expression on her face. She’d gone from disappointment to shock, and finally burst into tears.
Terren must have found her fickle reaction utterly amusing.
Honestly, no matter what hurtful words he’d said to me before, I could forgive them all now.
“Terren is absolutely right. People’s outsides and insides are different.”
Outwardly, they’d scorn something as vulgar, yet inwardly, they were brimming with curiosity about the new item.
Terren felt cheerful seeing Grace so happy, but the closer he watched her, the more his excitement grew uncontrollably.
He shuddered with the desire to kiss Grace and do even more.
“Terren, if we’re going into business, we’ll need a shop, right?”
“Y-yes.”
Terren’s face flushed all the way to his neck as he kept swallowing dryly. An overwhelming urge surged within him—to sweep her up into his arms and carry her straight to bed, igniting all sorts of lewd fantasies that stirred his instincts.
“I’ll go into town. I’ll look around with Pauline and see if there’s a suitable shop location.”
“Just the two of you?”
“It’s fine. I won’t come back late. Besides, it’s uncomfortable having Luke trailing after us everywhere.”
“If you return early, I’ll allow it.”
“Yes.”
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.

Cold female lead & dramatic black lotus with hidden yandere traits male lead
I don’t understand, if she is trying to save the twins, why is she putting a gun to her head? She needs to be alive for the twins to survive.
This is sounding less like a punishment and more like a privilege.
Sometimes this novel’s inability to reflect anything close to realism frustrates me. Let’s reward arson and attempted murder! (Can’t help but point out the lack of creativity with Mr. Baker’s name.)
