The Plan of the Terminally-Ill Wife's Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Sylphid twisted my nose, looking extremely annoyed. Strangely enough, when he twisted my nose, he was once again in Darius’s form. Wasn’t he the one who said he disliked that appearance?
‘Does everyone develop the habit of twisting noses when they take on Darius’s form?’
Remembering how Darius had twisted my nose while I pretended to sleep in the carriage on our honeymoon trip, I blushed more than necessary.
“Calling me a fraud! I’ve never deceived anyone, and if someone was deceived, it’s their own fault!”
Sylphid, still in Darius’s form, sighed in exasperation.
「I never imagined that the restriction Inkheart and I carefully devised would be broken by such a tiny girl.」
‘You’ve been ignoring me this whole time, but that “tiny girl” is currently the wife of the Grand Duke Inkheart, you know?’
I glared at Sylphid, grumbling inwardly.
「You’ve misled me. Right now, I sense not even a speck of spirit power from you. Yet your vessel is absurdly large compared to your ability—almost like that of a Grand Spirit Master.」
“What on earth are you talking about?”
「It’s simple logic. If you only have a single drop of water, there’s no need to prepare a huge vessel—it’d just be a pointless waste. To me, it feels as though you once possessed immense spirit power, but for some reason used it all up, leaving behind only an empty vessel.」
Could he possibly be saying that Anette, before my possession, had the potential of a Grand Spirit Master?
「Spirit power isn’t something that vanishes once used. Normally, once your body recovers, the spent spirit power replenishes itself. But in your case, I only sense traces of spirit energy that have completely dried up.」
Well, I do have a guess or two—possession, maybe? Or perhaps a soul swap? Anette certainly had plenty of reasons to feel guilty about her past.
Haha.
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!

What kind of stupidity is this? Shedding a sick person’s blood is treatment? How can they do this in the name of treatment? How outrageous!
Poor Annette, no one trusts her. Luckily Darius does. I hope Rose gets better.
Hahaha, Cedric is starting to fall in love with our Annette!

‘Remember the original story. Darius belongs to Evangeline Stockwork.’
Why does she insist that Darius would never like her? Isn’t she already defying the original work by changing the events?
‘In the original story, Anette was assassinated in the annex by Darius’s unknown
Who really could that be? If she was just the arranged wife and an enemy daughter at that, who could possibly plan on killing her?

Hahaha, poor Annette! Why are you so greedy? Luckily, you weren’t crushed under the weight of money.
