My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
“I’ve trimmed it down as much as possible… Might it be burdensome for you?”
Chloe was left speechless by Winter’s innocent question. It was truly contradictory to say one had “trimmed it down” yet still brought a hundred knights.
Whether it was Winter who had “trimmed” the number, or the knights who had volunteered—what surprised Chloe even more was that not a single one among so many had raised an objection. Wasn’t a hundred people far too many just to visit a forest once?
But since she didn’t truly understand the knights’ usual mindset or circumstances, she couldn’t point this out. Well, perhaps these hundred knights normally trained in the forest anyway.
Winter had brought the horse Chloe had once received from Coon. She must have gone all the way to the stables herself to fetch Chloe’s mount.
Handing over the reins she’d been tightly holding to Chloe, Winter asked,
“Oh, now that I think of it—the horse…”
“I can ride now. It was part of the Empress’s basic education.”
Until recently, she hadn’t known how to ride and had relied on Coon’s help, but now Chloe could mount and move on horseback entirely by herself.
It was an essential skill for an Empress who must rule the nation independently, without the Emperor’s aid.
Chloe mounted the horse as lightly as a bird flapping its wings and took hold of the reins. Watching this, Winter and the other knights couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
Chloe probably didn’t realize it—but her ability to ride had just saved a hundred necks. No one would survive touching the Empress without the Emperor’s explicit permission.
As Chloe began moving on horseback, the knights put into action the plan they’d prepared beforehand.
Even before reaching the forest, they’d been busy deciding Chloe’s position. Though the path was so familiar to them they could find their destination blindfolded, it was different for her—it was her first time.
Moreover, the forest was an unknown world where anything could happen at any moment. If some beast suddenly leapt out and harmed her, it would be disastrous.

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!
