Unrequited Love is Over, Fend for Yourselves (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 73
After the Emperor’s passing, following the imperial family’s period of mourning, the nobles began to pay their condolences.
Amid the endless procession of carriages, one bearing the crest of House Claire came to a halt.
The door opened, and Etienne stepped out, wearing a sun hat adorned with a veil. She lifted her gaze, taking in the palace she had visited so often.
The butler who accompanied her spoke to her.
“Why are you like this?”
“I just feel strange.”
The Imperial Palace was visible even from her home, and she had come here many times.
“I thought this place was familiar, yet now it feels unfamiliar.”
Perhaps because of that, every corner of the palace seemed new to her. Even a single crest felt strange, and a vine curling around the outer wall seemed wondrous. The butler stood silently, waiting as Etienne quietly observed these things.
Then, spotting someone, he stepped aside with a single step. The person who wordlessly filled his place was Fernando.
“It’s not over yet.”
Etienne, who had been gazing at the palace, slowly turned her head toward him. Fernando was looking straight at her.
“Because it’d be a shame to give up everything after just one confession.”
“What do you mean by that? Don’t tell me you’re going to keep confessing?”
“Yeah.”

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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
