To My Beloved, I Present My Exquisite Nightmare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 173
“Battle stance!”
Byron shouted instinctively before his mind could fully grasp what was unfolding before his eyes. His voice, surging from deep within his chest, seized and shook the air of the vast wasteland.
“Fall back from the sink! Maintain distance!”
The seasoned knights and senior agents were the first to regain their composure.
They shoved the inexperienced junior agents—still flustered from their lack of real combat experience—toward safety, then braced themselves and their comrades against the humming, vibrating energy of the sink as they assumed battle positions.
They had no idea what would emerge. A ghost? A monster? Or something even more horrifying? Most of them didn’t even know how a sink formed—the branch’s magical artifacts always detected the sink’s energy first. Always.
“Keep your distance from the sink!”
Jimius, the next to steady her nerves after Byron, pushed through the ranks and drew her sword.
“Its range could expand! Don’t get sucked in!”
Before she even finished speaking, one of the western encampments collapsed from its rightmost edge with a thunderous crash. Without any warning, three agents were instantly swallowed into the suddenly enlarged sink.
“Branch Chief!”
The agents, witnessing their comrades vanish right before their eyes, cried out in panic and scrambled backward.
A rusted hook-like object snagged the edge of the widening sink. A guttural growl echoed—deep, bestial, rising from far beneath the earth.

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.
