Reforming the Villain Family (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 48
“Before I came to the Duke’s household. I originally worked at the Mage Tower, so I know a bit about it—theories of mana manipulation, mana internalization, and so on.”
“Oh, I see. So Sophia, you have mana…”
I muttered to myself, then suddenly whipped my head around at a word that popped into my mind.
“You were a mage?”
“Shh, I’m sorry, Young Master. If people found out I can use mana, it would cause a commotion. They tend to react rather sensitively to things like that.”
At her quiet gesture asking me to stay silent, I shut my mouth. Still, my eyes widened, so Sophia leaned in and whispered softly just for me.
“I can’t do anything grand—just minor things like detecting poisons or sensing my surroundings. Aside from that… maybe a small protective barrier? And a bit of simple hypnosis, tracking, or light mind-reading. That’s all I can manage. Honestly, it’s a completely useless ability.”
‘Um… isn’t that actually quite useful…?’
Unlike my thoughts, Sophia seemed firmly convinced her abilities were worthless.
‘She’s being way too modest.’
Since causing a scene right now wasn’t an option, I’d have to explain that to her gradually later.
Just then, Sophia, who had been watching me, quietly asked,
“Are you very surprised? I’m truly sorry I didn’t tell you earlier, Young Master.”
“I was surprised, but it’s fine.”
“Yes, I didn’t hide it on purpose. I simply never had the right chance to mention it. At first, I worried you might be frightened if I told you right away.”
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!

What’s this all about? Why does he want it? But is it possible they actually caught him? I don’t feel like it’s him. I think they were tricked.
No, what is this? Is her mother kidnapping her? What brought her here now?
How filthy and despicable they are! Will these scoundrels never go extinct?
