To You Who No Longer Want Me (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
On a late afternoon bathed in sunlight, diligent maids in Viare’s room were carefully helping her dress.
Shaking her head at the increasingly elaborate adornments, Viare spoke firmly.
“You mustn’t overdo it. I’m visiting the foundation today.”
“The foundation? Now that you mention it, my lady does sponsor a cultural foundation.”
“Yes, I haven’t paid it proper attention lately.”
Since returning to the past, Viare had been overwhelmed with matters to attend to, leaving her unable to visit the cultural foundation she supported.
The nobles of the Marta Empire were generally stingy with donations and patronage; merely acting as a patron was enough for them to seek recognition.
Moreover, since such acts weren’t considered essential for nobility, they shut their eyes and ears to altruistic endeavors entirely.
To them—preoccupied solely with enriching themselves—charity and sponsorship were nothing but meaningless investments.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that young Viare had been no different from them.
However, after witnessing her mother sincerely supporting commoners through the cultural foundation she had founded, Viare’s perspective on the world gradually changed.
Thanks to this, the prestige of House Ruschef rose even higher among the empire’s citizens, and the children nurtured by the foundation now supported the ducal family from their respective positions.
When Duchess Ruschef passed away, the foundation’s activities briefly faltered, but thanks to the dedicated staff who had co-managed it with her, it continued operating smoothly to this day.
It was said that the Duke himself, unable to bring himself to disband his beloved wife’s foundation, had provided significant financial support.
Thus, Viare naturally took up her mother’s cause, actively contributing to the foundation’s operations.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

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.
