Oh No, I Possessed a Male Character! (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 23
“……”
Klaus tightly shut his mouth and stared at me.
Though I couldn’t fathom why, I suddenly felt like crying.
“Even if Your Highness became a bad person to Princess Elfride today, you have been a good person to me for far more days. So please don’t worry about karma or anything like that—just keep believing in yourself and moving forward as you always have.”
You weren’t wrong, Klaus.
“You were not wrong, Your Highness.”
Rarely was I so loquacious. After pouring out all those words at once, my whole body ached as if I’d been beaten.
Why did such a few simple words make my chest swell like this?
“Muzel.”
“Yes.”
Klaus spoke without taking his eyes off me.
“Thank you. Truly.”
“……”
Afraid that opening my mouth would unleash tears, I clamped my lips shut.
“Your words comforted me more than anything else ever could. I’m truly glad to have been someone good in your eyes.”
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!

“If he had never learned that Muzel was a woman, he might have mistaken it for deep friendship”
I had this thought, and this semi confirmed it for me: Klaus seems to like Muzel no matter the gender. He maybe bi, but it maybe only for Muzel. Like Shang from Disney’s Mulan
I get that Rumi’s parents are upset about losing their daughter in the main world, but at some point, FL needs to stop babying her and leave her be.
I understand Rumi character completely. Stuck being sick, barely ever going outside, going to die at any moment, it is COMPLETELY reasonable for her to want to stay.
And FL wants to bring her back because…her parents are sad?
When Rumi tries to explain how miserable she is over there, FL basically counters with “Yea, but your parents are sad and your feelings are invalid”
FL needs to just leave Rumi alone. She is an adult and she knows how to get back home for when she’s ready. As far as we know now, if it gets too bad, Rumi can dip! FL can already see the cracks, so she just either need to honestly stop trying to yank her home before she’s done, or just wait for it all to implode in her face.
I will say, I like Rumi. Yes she’s selfish and naive, and it really adds to her character. She wanted to enjoy this experience because she is dying in the other world, and I have no problem with that. She wanted to experience this alone. Muzel/Jin Yi being there wasn’t part of the plan. She didn’t drag Muzel along and the only reason she’s forcing Muzel to help her is because if she were to actually tell Muzel how to get back home, Muzel would drag her back too (which, i still stand by is a horrible friend move. Muzel as Jin Yi is a bad friend. Muzel as Muzel is at least giving suggestions and trying to explain what Rumi did wrong, but once she switches back to Jin Yi thoughts of forcing Rumi home, she’s very-close minded).
Back to Rumi, she is very naive as we can see by her snubbing the OGFL at the party, and the charity suggestions. She doesn’t know or understand the implications of what she did. She only thinks in the now, not in the future and probably because she’s on borrowed time. She’s rushing and impatient and not thinking of the consequences of her actions, just the results they should bring.
I really like her.
And Jin Yi is a hypocrite. She’s annoyed/ disappointed/ doesn’t like that Rumi has immersed herself into her role and calls the Duke Father, but she’s allowed to live her life solely for His Highness and is going out of her way to snitch on Gretchen immediately after her slip up because rules are rules and that is what she is supposed to do? She is just as immersed, if not more. If she wasn’t, she would have at least given Gretchen a chance to fix her mistake, like I’ll let this slip once and won’t tell on you and it’ll be our secret. That’s someone not immersed. Immediately alerting the Head Stewart and not in a way of just doing it because it’s her role but because of how serious it is is full immersion.
I know it’s only for the time they are there, but still, she’s so negative about Rumi and anything she does. Like a parent waiting on the their kid to mess up badly just so they can say told you so instead of letting them make their mistakes and grow from it without the taunting.
Even with all this, I still really like all of the characters, especially Lutz. He’s a cutie.
