No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 148
Sediloi, who had paused briefly, let out a short sigh and continued.
“Jocelyn said someone was trying to pin a terrible false accusation on her. The most absurd part? I nearly believed her myself in that moment. She looked so utterly wronged—as if she’d hang herself right then and there if I didn’t believe her.”
“I’d have just let her die.”
“No, Ash. I can’t do that. Not if Jocelyn truly harmed Verbo and Liriya. I can’t let her take her own life. I won’t let her off that easily.”
Ash let out a hollow laugh.
“Then what do you plan to do? Torture that old witch?”
“Hardly. There are plenty of other ways besides that.”
Ash started to add something but stopped himself, shaking his head as if to say it was pointless. He refilled his glass once more—this time nearly to the brim. Without pausing for even a single breath, he downed all that liquor in one go, then let out an extremely irritated sigh.
“You really do live the hard way. I’ve told you that many times before.”
“I know. Especially when it comes to Jocelyn. Maybe Father brainwashed me without my realizing it.”
“What on earth are you talking about?”
Sediloi’s silent lips moved faintly.
[When you become head of the house, Sediloi… If you inherit the Valterminster name after me, never mistreat Jocelyn. She is someone who will remain loyal solely to Valterminster—she always has, and always will. So no matter what happens, look after her. Understand? I, your mother, and Jocelyn will all grow old someday. Treat an aged Jocelyn as you would treat me and your mother. Promise me this—as my son, and as a man.]
Back then, I didn’t realize how terrifying that promise truly was, nor how great a secret it concealed. Why Father suddenly said those words during this chaotic time, when Mother and Jocelyn had abruptly left the manor…
So I promised. That I would do as he asked.

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!
