Wishing My Husband Dead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 39
“My master told me I have to stay by his side for the rest of my life. He said the bond between a mage and their apprentice is more important than marriage.”
“Hah. Enough with that nonsense about mages. You didn’t even know what a mage was back then.”
“I think I’m more important to my master than someone utterly insignificant like you. Beluce, you’re just an ordinary knight, but I’m my master’s one and only disciple.”
It was a deliberate jab meant to provoke him. As expected, Beluce’s expression cracked. He sneered openly, revealing every ounce of his jealousy and hatred.
“Disciple? I can’t imagine why he’d accept someone like you as his precious apprentice. So many people wanted to become Lord’s disciple—why would he choose a woman like you?”
“Well, it’s because I have talent…”
“What talent? Compared to Lord, you’re nothing.”
In that moment, Maximilian’s words came rushing back.
“No matter what talent you possess, it’s nothing compared to my brother.”
Then, as now, Cordelia readily agreed with those words—because Maximilian hadn’t been wrong.
Seeing Cordelia struggle to reply, Beluce’s sneer deepened.
“Do you even know what needs to be done for Lord to regain his body?”
“He’d need to use magic, right?”
“Exactly. He needs to cast a soul transference spell, which requires immense magical power—but his current body hasn’t got a chance in hell of managing it.”
“Then isn’t that why he sent us to retrieve the holy relics?”

Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…

One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
