She's a Villainess but her Husband is Handsome (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Lorraine stared fixedly at the red liquid filling her glass, her violet eyes sparkling.
A cold glass of beer—the perfect punctuation mark to a tiring day.
In her previous life, one devoid of leisure, it had been the one small luxury and happiness she could afford.
‘I’ll have a drink and sleep deeply.’
While she gazed contentedly at her wineglass, Cedric set down the bottle and lifted his own glass.
Then, looking directly at Lorraine, he raised it slightly into the air as if urging her to drink.
She pressed the rim of the glass to her tightly closed lips and tilted it.
The moment the red liquid curled around the tip of her tongue and slid down her throat, her eyes flew open.
She hadn’t often drunk wine, nor did she possess extensive knowledge about it.
But this was unquestionably the finest drink she’d ever tasted.
‘What is this? Why does wine taste so good?’
She held the glass away from her lips and stared at it with wide eyes.
Watching her, Cedric slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s our family’s finest wine, made exclusively at the Roger estate using the secret recipe passed down since the time of the previous Duke Roger.”
She met her husband’s proud gaze and brought the glass back to her lips.
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.

Hahaha, jealous Cedric doesn’t want anyone to see her like this.
Oh, she’s acting so hastily; that will raise suspicions about her.
What is the element of surprise in this novel? I hope nothing bad happens.

It made me very sad. Fear of speaking in front of people, and also tumbled down the stairs. People must have laughed at her instead of helping her. Oh Dear.
