The Credentials of a Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
“How unexpected. I actually thought Your Grace would stop me.”
“Enough with the pointless talk—just continue your report.”
Despite Duke Pierne’s reprimand, Pavel shrugged his shoulders with feigned innocence.
“The people I was looking for had all deteriorated beyond mere memory loss—they were utterly feeble-minded. They couldn’t even recall who they were or where they’d come from.”
“Feeble-minded, you say…”
“You’ve experienced it before, haven’t you? Even if not fully feeble-minded, those who’ve lost their sanity are all alike.”
Pavel turned his gaze back toward me. His eyes still held unmistakable hostility.
“Normally, slaves in that condition lose value, yet there are still buyers for them. They’re capable of doing things sane people would never dare. Of course, even then, you can’t fetch a proper price.”
“…”
“I imagine you’ve figured out by now why only troubled slaves were sent over.”
His fixed, piercing stare looked down on me with utter disdain. Ashamed under that gaze, I lowered my head—only to exhale deeply upon seeing my own deathly pale hands.
I hadn’t looked in a mirror, yet I could guess.
My face must have been as white as parchment. My expression—bewildered, ashamed of the name I’d once worn with pride—must have been pitiful to behold.
But in the end, I had no choice but to lift my head again.
It wasn’t with an easy resolve that I chose to bear the Crayton name. I stood here precisely so that wrongs would not be left unacknowledged as wrongs.

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.
