The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 48
In the deep night, faint moonlight spilled through the window.
In Dahlia’s sleeping chamber, a large shadow appeared as the door opened with a soft creak.
The man approached her bed with cautious steps, wary of waking the slumbering figure.
Having reached the bed, he settled beside Dahlia’s pillow.
A gentle hand brushed aside her silvery strands of hair, then lightly grazed her cheek.
‘What is it?’
Though she sensed a stranger’s presence and realized someone had entered, the cozy warmth kept her from opening her eyes readily.
After a long moment of stillness, Dahlia’s eyes slowly opened.
The sky, which had glowed with orange twilight when she first returned to her room, was now wholly swallowed by pitch-black darkness.
As Dahlia stared blankly at it, her mind gradually cleared—
And only then did she belatedly realize someone was touching her. She turned her head, and her eyes met Clayton’s.
“…Your Grace?”
Her voice, just awakened, came out low and husky.
She blinked, staring at the man before her—then suddenly jolted upright in bed, startled.
“When—when did you arrive?”
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.
