To My Beloved, I Present My Exquisite Nightmare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
“You’re saying it was Yerka who created the doppelgänger?”
Eustar asked incredulously. Laila, whose face had turned as exhausted in an instant as someone who hadn’t slept at all in three days, nodded.
“That’s….”
Trailing off, he sighed and pressed his fingers to his forehead. For a moment, he nearly uttered the foolish words, “She didn’t seem like someone with that kind of power.”
He had witnessed dozens, even hundreds of members of Tentinella—be it magical ability or physical strength—and learned repeatedly that what appeared on the surface was never the whole truth. Yet he felt anew just how powerful human prejudice could be.
Laila spoke.
“I saw it in Wells’ memories. Yerka said he would help her escape… and that Karsh appeared at the secret meeting place they’d arranged. It seemed true. And it was also true that Yerka had gone to visit Wells while he was imprisoned.”
She paused briefly, her brow furrowing in pain. The fear and agony she’d felt when summoning Wells and peering into his memories still lingered within her like an unextracted thorn.
Closing her eyes briefly to endure the anguish, Laila continued.
“In Wells’ memories… almost nothing remained except Yerka herself. There was no figure in his life as vivid and intense as her. He loved her, worshipped her, and, in the end, feared her dreadfully. Even as his entire body twisted in torment, he couldn’t understand why he couldn’t bring himself to hate her….”
Muuge clicked her tongue as if annoyed.
“So all the perfect conditions for forming a thought-born entity are right there. It’s almost surprising it only remained strong enough to startle whoever opened the door.”
Laila agreed.
“He seemed… a simple man. So naive, others would have called him foolish. Yerka must have intended to use him precisely because of his innocence. Even her plea for help escaping might have been… a lie to lure him out of the mansion.”
The three fell silent for a while, each lost in their own thoughts. Yerka had summoned the doppelgänger. She had failed once—but would surely succeed the next time.

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.
