The Terminally-Ill Rejects the Approach (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
“Are you angry?”
Remembering Anselot’s voice, urgently grabbing me and asking that, made me sigh in exasperation.
“You spoke of her with such longing, calling her ‘someone who no longer exists’—I honestly thought she was a dead former lover.”
After even Piya was shooed out, I was left alone in the room.
“But then… was that past lover you couldn’t forget really her?”
Perhaps his words—“someone who no longer exists”—meant something other than death.
After all, while her perfectly healthy lover was away at war, she’d become his nephew’s wife. Calling her “someone who no longer exists” made perfect sense.
Maybe his claim of not remembering her was actually a hint to himself.
He’d loved her so deeply, weeping for her through the fog, unable to forget her.
“Then you shouldn’t have confused me like that! I didn’t even know…!”
Spitting out the words I couldn’t bring myself to say in front of Anselot, I pounded the pristine white pillow on the bed with my fists.
If what I’d felt upon learning Anselot had a past lover was bitterness,
and if what I’d felt watching him unable to answer my question—whether he’d stay with me after this journey—was disappointment,
then what I’d just felt was a far sharper sense of betrayal, stronger than both bitterness and disappointment.
The man who’d kissed me just a day before had been reminiscing about his old lover in the secluded, deserted garden behind the palace.

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!
