My Husband Has Changed (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Adel lowered her gaze from Father Padre’s eyes, dropping it entirely to the floor after it had been lingering near his chin.
“Your Highness applied holy oil to the garments you wore.”
“…That’s hardly unusual. Isn’t it a common practice in the north, where monsters swarm?”
“Of course, I heard Your Highness suffered no ill effects. Had something malevolent attached itself, you surely would have been in agony.”
“The potency of holy oil sometimes manifests belatedly. It doesn’t always present as pain. The common symptom is usually a temporary loss of consciousness.”
Adel shook her head.
“I never saw His Highness lose consciousness or suffer in pain. Nor did any of the servants.”
“Naturally, this requires watching closely for a full day.”
“I acted too hastily in contacting you. I’m well aware how awkward it is to retract my words after making you come all this way. But…”
“Lady Adelheid.”
Adel pressed her lips tightly shut. Father Padre, who had been looking down at her with a stern expression, let out a deep sigh. Then, in a gentle, soothing tone, he spoke again.
“When humans encounter something beyond rational understanding, they show one of two reactions: rejection or fervent reverence.”

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.
