The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 98
The woman smiled apologetically and declined the Duchess’s outstretched hand.
“Oh… no, it’s fine. Really.”
She crouched down and began gathering the flowers scattered across the floor.
Even as she did so, light continued to pour steadily from her body.
“…”
The Duchess hesitated, struggling to collect herself from her bewilderment.
Frowning, she shielded her eyes from the radiance—and as the glare faded, the woman’s golden hair turned black,
and the white flowers on the floor became blue.
“…?”
Agnes blinked.
‘Was it just the brightness playing tricks on my eyes?’
Watching the woman blankly pick up flowers, Duchess Pearl bent down as well and started gathering them too.
Seeing the Duchess lower herself, the flustered maids hurriedly began collecting the blooms as well.
With three or four women simultaneously picking up flowers, the scattered petals quickly gathered back into the woman’s basket.
“Thank you.”
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!
