Stolen Crown Princess (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
Ibelia stared, wide-eyed, at the back of the man who had stepped in front of her. She felt she knew who it was without even needing to confirm.
That unmistakably familiar, sturdy silhouette belonged to Liurian.
“My lady, can you not hear me? I asked what you are doing here.”
“…Your Highness.”
“How many more times must I repeat the same question?”
Liurian snapped coldly toward Lellia. Instinctively, Ibelia turned her gaze to Lellia.
She stood rigid, trembling pitifully enough to evoke sympathy. Yet the sharp aura emanating from Liurian showed no sign of abating.
Ibelia hastily reached out toward Liurian. She held no desire to spare Lellia, but if left unchecked, the situation seemed certain to spiral beyond control.
“Your Highness, it seems Lady Lellia isn’t feeling well today. Just look at her complexion—it’s plain to see. She surely didn’t mean it. Please, come away with me now, won’t you?”
Ibelia clung to Liurian pleadingly. A faint tremor ran through the arm she grasped. She couldn’t tell whether it was because her words had shaken him or because his anger toward Lellia was boiling over. Gripped by rising anxiety, she tightened her hold on his collar.
“On such a fine day as this, the scenery by the pond is incomparably beautiful—far beyond its usual charm. I was just on my way there. Surely, after seeing such a view, Your Highness’s mood will lighten considerably. So please, come with me.”
She shook him gently, desperately hoping to move his heart. He remained utterly still. But soon, a heavy sigh reached her ears, and his legs—seeming as though they’d never budge—began to move willingly.
Seizing the chance, Ibelia quickly set their course. She needed to put as much distance between them and Lellia as possible—before his mind changed, before Lellia’s time-bomb of a mouth exploded again.
The two passed by Lellia’s side, walking side by side. In that fleeting moment, Liurian’s familiar scent brushed past Lellia’s nose.
“Hah.”

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.
