Wishing My Husband Dead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 25
The room was shabby. Dust piled everywhere and cobwebs were the first things to catch the eye. An old nightstand and a single bed crawling with fleas were all it contained, and despite it still being late summer, a chill ran through the air sharp enough to make one’s hair stand on end.
Helena’s appearance had changed beyond comparison to just a few days prior. No one would believe she had once been a countess upon seeing her yellowed dress and greasy hair.
“How dare you lock me away in a place like this!”
The moment Helena recognized Cordelia entering through the door, she immediately bared her nails and screamed furiously.
“Have you been well, Lady Mother?”
“You ungrateful wretch! You repay my kindness by locking me up in this tower? If I ever get out of here, I’ll never let you be! I’ll summon every citizen of the estate to beat you and strip you naked, then toss you into the marketplace!”
“How will you get out of here?”

Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
