You Accepted the Contract (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
After Si Yoon went to work, Mi Joo sat alone at the dining table eating breakfast. Even though she’d prepared plenty for Si Yoon, who had a big appetite, the table still felt oddly empty.
‘I thought I’d made it pretty tasty.’
Eating alone, the toast merely swirled dryly in her mouth like a handful of sand, refusing to go down.
Finishing her breakfast mechanically, out of sheer obligation, Mi Joo rose and picked up a book. But as time passed, anxiety crept in, and nothing she read registered at all.
‘What kind of incident could possibly be happening that they told me not to go online or make calls, and just wait for Mr. Si Yoon?’
She sensed a foreboding of something about to happen, but precisely because she couldn’t tell what it was, a suffocating sense of dread and fear overwhelmed her.
Thus, after an excruciatingly dull and tense morning, it became lunchtime. Though the breakfast she’d forced down seemed stuck in her stomach undigested, once noon passed, she suddenly felt ravenous.
‘Well, that’s actually good. If I eat something, maybe time will pass a little faster.’
Mi Joo headed to the kitchen and stood before the refrigerator, intending to have a quick lunch of just fruit and yogurt.
But unexpectedly, her overly smart refrigerator instantly displayed a simple menu recommendation, today’s news headlines, and weather forecast on its screen the moment she stood in front of it.
Instantly, Mi Joo’s eyes fell upon a major headline.
“Oh no!”
She quickly turned away, but it was already too late—the headline had already registered in her eyes, and she immediately realized the article was about her.
‘It’s definitely about me…’
Pandora’s box seemed to tremble insistently before her, and unable to bear the burning curiosity, Mi Joo tapped on the article.

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.
