The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 98
“Ugh, aaagh!”
While stitching the wound in terror, the trainee priest made some mistake, and suddenly black blood gushed from the injury.
Even someone who knew nothing about medicine could tell it was a grave situation, and the knights fell into utter chaos.
“Your Majesty!”
“We must save His Majesty. Saintess…!”
Seeing how he seemed like he might stop breathing at any moment, even Helene finally set aside her cynical attitude.
Deep in Helene’s heart lingered a sense of kinship with Enrique, the bond they had built as childhood friends—it was this that shook her.
“Do not… heal… Do not heal….”
As his consciousness began to fade, delirium set in.
Watching the emperor endlessly repeat the same words, everyone could not hide their dismay.
They had all followed him here, trusting and believing in this emperor alone.
The only reason they had endured this hellish swamp was one thing.
It was for the lifelong glory of having taken part in His Majesty’s great undertaking.
Yet the very emperor who was supposed to slay the demon had collapsed and was now babbling nonsense.
Not knowing what to say, the knights could only twist their faces in grim despair.
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!
A naturally dark female lead who could accidentally destroy the world but is actually an honest person VS a weak, pitiful, and helpless but skilled fighter, beautiful white-cut black male lead
