The Tyrant's Terminally-Ill Childhood Friend (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
Miheu said that moving Lowell alone after she collapsed was clearly too much, so she brought a handcart used for moving books and carried her away.
“Then, was there no one else around?”
“Hmm? Well… no, there wasn’t. It’s a path where people rarely pass by. She looked in serious trouble, and I didn’t even have the presence of mind to call for help….”
It was truly fortunate. Lowell genuinely felt relieved that Miheu hadn’t needlessly called someone else to move her. Still, she was puzzled.
“Wouldn’t it be normal to call a physician when someone collapses? Did you not call one?”
“Hehe, when you’ve worked in the imperial palace long enough, you develop a certain intuition. If it had been a situation where calling a physician was appropriate, you wouldn’t have collapsed in the library’s backyard, would you?”
That hit the mark. Lowell, embarrassed even by her own line of questioning, lowered her gaze.
After all, despite knowing exactly what one should say to someone who saved them, she had instead immediately pressed about her own circumstances.
“…Thank you for saving me.”
“Don’t mention it. How could I possibly walk past someone who’d collapsed? Besides, that used to be my actual profession.”
“Your… profession?”
Taken aback by the unexpected statement, Lowell’s eyes widened.
“I used to work as a physician in the imperial palace. That connection is why I still receive a stipend from the palace even now. If only I were as capable as I was ten years ago, I’d still be active….”
Miheu, too, cradled the warm cup in both hands and murmured wistfully. A gentle smile bloomed on her face as she reminisced about the past. Watching her, Lowell was struck with shock.
‘Now that I think about it, it was strange they’d employ a senile old woman as a librarian…’

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.
