There's a Snake in the Empress' Bedroom (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Rexus’s gaze wandered across the banquet hall.
Here, all the lead actors for the play Rexus had prepared had gathered.
Renisha and Cassius—the two leading performers.
Rexus gripped the armrest, his fingers curling like hooks.
He could see Cassius’s eyes frequently turning toward Renisha, seated beside him.
Rexus also noticed that the emotion clouding Cassius’s eyes was far from pure.
He was looking at her with the eyes of a man gazing at a woman.
“Renisha.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Renisha replied demurely.
Though Renisha always pretended to obey Rexus, was her true heart the same?
Rexus slowly turned his head and scanned Renisha’s serene face.
He, too, wondered what lay hidden within her.
Rexus’s violet eyes sank heavily, thick with emotion.
The brilliant chandeliers and the orange glow of candlelight formed a dazzling spectacle behind Renisha.
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.
