You And I Live In Different Worlds (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
“Yes, so how was the all-night ball? Was it pleasant?”
At Eda’s sudden question during breakfast, Melie’s mind went blank.
“Oh, that…”
She stammered, unsure how to respond. Then Edric, seated beside her, answered instead.
“It probably wasn’t great, Mother. The Roxton family’s balls are famously dull, after all.”
Only then did Melie remember she had attended the Roxton family’s ball the previous night—at least outwardly.
Eda spoke with a bright expression.
“Still, it was a good idea. From now on, you should go to balls more often. That’s how you’ll meet good people.”
“Yes…”
Melie bowed her head, overcome with guilt. She couldn’t bring herself to meet Eda’s eyes.
It was just as the soup bowls were cleared away and grilled truffle mushrooms drizzled with balsamic vinegar were served.
“Oh, by the way—what about meeting Lady Gelan’s nephew, as I mentioned before?”
Eda suddenly brought up a marriage proposal.
“It wouldn’t be proper to keep him waiting too long. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the matter.”
Whether outwardly or not, rejecting Eda’s kind suggestion was incredibly painful for Melie.
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!
A naturally dark female lead who could accidentally destroy the world but is actually an honest person VS a weak, pitiful, and helpless but skilled fighter, beautiful white-cut black male lead
