The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
Aidel remained in the classroom after class, tidying up, when the door opened and two children entered, squabbling with each other.
“My side is right!”
“No way! Even the teacher said you’re wrong!”
Upon hearing the boy mention the teacher, the girl—who had insisted she was correct—flushed bright red. Just as she seemed about to burst into tears, she spotted Aidel and immediately ran straight toward her.
“Teacher!”
“What on earth happened?”
Aidel gently bent her knees slightly and pulled the girl into her arms, speaking kindly. The girl, nestled against her chest, wiped away the tears gathering at the corners of her eyes with her hand, then looked up at Aidel and asked,
“Teacher… please tell me. You really are a princess, aren’t you?”
Meeting the girl’s pleading gaze, Aidel gave an awkward smile. The child had been asking her this same question repeatedly for a while now.
Ever since their very first meeting, the girl had firmly believed Aidel was a princess—holding out her cherished storybook and insisting the princess illustrated inside looked exactly like Aidel.
Though she didn’t want to shatter the child’s innocent belief, Aidel also couldn’t bring herself to tell a lie. She had already told the girl she wasn’t a princess, yet the girl still seemed convinced otherwise.
“I wish it were true… but I’m just a teacher, nothing more. I know it’s disappointing, but I promise I’ll show you a real princess someday.”
As she gently patted the girl, Aidel thought of Ophelia. Being an imperial princess, Ophelia was the closest match to the princess the girl imagined. Aidel resolved that once Kaeron stopped searching for her… she would send Ophelia a letter, asking her to visit.
“See? The teacher herself said she isn’t!”
Hearing Aidel’s words, the boy declared triumphantly to the girl, who shook her head again, on the verge of tears.

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.

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.
