Interest Compounds on Revenge (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 25
Terren remained silent even after bringing Grace to the ducal residence. Of course, she didn’t say anything either.
Now was not the time to ask him about what had happened.
After all, during their ride together, she had clearly felt his ragged breathing and the thunderous pounding of his heart.
Terren took Grace’s hand and headed straight for her room.
The moment the door slammed shut, Terren pulled her into his arms. His body trembled anxiously, as if struck by an earthquake.
“I’m sorry—I’ve only caused you worry.”
Lea somehow felt she owed him an apology. Though it hadn’t been her intention, it was true that he’d been frightened because of her.
“Shh!”
Terren wordlessly buried his face in her thick golden hair.
Because of this tiny woman, he’d shuttled endlessly between heaven and hell all day. When had she become such an enormous presence in his life?
When Pauline had returned alone, having lost Grace, a terrifying fear had overwhelmed him—the dread that he might never see her again. It was the first time he’d felt such terror since the war.
“I’ve been unfortunate since childhood.”
Holding Grace close, he began telling his own story.
It was something he’d never wanted to share with anyone before. But with her—with Grace—it felt alright.

Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”

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.)
