Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 473
Ariadne awoke on a very large, soft bed. The bedroom ceiling was extremely high, but an unfamiliar canopy hung at just the right height, comfortably blocking her view.
But she did not feel at ease.
The bed sheets and blanket covers were starchier and rougher than those at home. Perhaps because the ceiling felt so bare, the air in the room, though stagnant, felt considerably colder than what she was used to.
Ariadne looked toward the familiar wall where the bell-pull should have been to summon Sancha, but found nothing there.
Her throat was parched.
“Ugh….”
Tormented by severe thirst, she tried to recall what had happened before she collapsed.
Isabella, a physical struggle, fingernails, shouting… Her last memory was a vivid red bloodstain blooming between her legs, accompanied by a dull, heavy pain.
Now she lay washed clean atop crisp white sheets. The meaning of this was not difficult to guess—but that was entirely different from hoping her guess was true.
‘Miscarriage…’
She shuddered.
She had lost the baby over a trivial quarrel with Isabella. Cesare would have scolded her fiercely for it. He’d never actually said such things, yet a voice in her head—sounding just like her former fiancé—rattled on by itself.
– ‘Didn’t I tell you to carry yourself like a noblewoman? You really are just like a wolf-dog, exactly as everyone says.’
A wolf-dog. She hadn’t recalled this old insult in a long time—likely triggered by Isabella’s mockery calling her a “wild boar.”
Ariadne shook her head to cut off this train of thought, but once negative thoughts flooded in, they refused to stop easily.

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.
