The Tyrant's Terminally-Ill Childhood Friend (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
With a beast-like appearance rather than that of a human, Lowell survived. Even at the moment she felt Todd gnawing away at her mind, Lowell never loosened her grip. Thus, the trial ended with two fewer participants than the garden had originally held.
It was precisely because Lowell, on the verge of losing control to Todd’s encroaching madness, had instantly killed two people even after the bell signaling the trial’s end had rung.
In retrospect, it was among the most horrifying memories Lowell had endured at Operetta.
Perhaps it was only natural—after all, she had proven her desperate will to live in such a brutal way.
‘Surviving means I wanted to live that badly.’
Back then, consumed solely by thoughts of revenge, she hadn’t realized it—but looking back now, revenge had merely been an excuse.
An excuse to desperately cling to life, even though she knew death was imminent, even though she knew she could die at any moment.
Having survived in such a manner, it was only natural that she wanted to live.
‘So the real question isn’t whether or not to accept Peter’s proposal.’
It was what to do with that now-useless excuse—revenge.
Both revenge and the possibility of a future lay firmly within Lowell’s grasp. She could only claim one by letting go of the other.
Lowell hesitated briefly, then slowly blinked her eyes.
In her mind emerged Peter’s gentle face, his repeated word “together,” and the firm hand that had held onto her.
The one desire she could indulge in without guilt—the person who had reminded her that she was capable of wanting anything at all.
Her lingering attachment—the first time she had ever felt the emotion of wanting someone.

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!
