Strategic Marriage with the Mad Villain (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
“What… what are you—”
Possibly due to the drug’s effect, Reus abruptly cut off his words and swayed slightly forward.
“You’ve been having nightmares ever since the day I said I’d stay, haven’t you?”
“…….”
“I actually knew you kept having nightmares but pretended not to notice—because I thought that was what you wanted.”
It was true that Reus had recently started having nightmares again after a long period without them, so he couldn’t immediately reply.
“The reason I pretended not to notice… was also because I didn’t know what kind of nightmares you were having.”
But recently, after overhearing Reus unconsciously cry out desperately for his father, Roel could no longer pretend ignorance.
“…You’re dreaming about your father, aren’t you?”
That was a misunderstanding. It wouldn’t be honest to say he felt no guilt after choosing survival over avenging his parents, yet the nightmare that haunted him most often wasn’t about them—it was always of a woman turning her back and walking away from him.
“Ah… yeah. That’s—”
Suddenly, Reus’s vision blurred sharply. He tried to refocus his wavering sight, but his eyes failed to properly capture the woman before him.
“You… did this on purpose…”
Reus finally understood Roel’s slightly changed behavior over the past few days. The reason she’d only ever made tiny, insignificant requests—ones he’d surely grant.
Her actions that briefly made him wonder if she finally saw him, or perhaps had decided to accept him—they were merely meant to dismantle his guard.

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!
