You And I Live In Different Worlds (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
The truth was proving harder to uncover than ever… or so he claimed.
“Haven’t we reached our destination yet?”
“We’ve still got a long way to go.”
‘Damn it.’
Melie unconsciously muttered a vulgar word in her mind and instantly regretted it.
There was nothing she could do but hope this moment would pass as quickly as possible.
As the carriage rolled along as leisurely as if on a pleasure outing, Melie buried her face in Edric’s chest, keenly feeling the stares of passersby boring into her back.
His embrace carried a pleasant scent—familiar, somehow.
‘Ah…!’
Suddenly, Melie realized what it was.
It was that very fragrance—the one she’d commissioned from a renowned perfumer for his twenty-fifth birthday, a crisp, smooth woody scent specially crafted to suit Edric.
When he’d received the gift, Edric had taken a sniff and simply said,
‘It’s a nice scent.’
But he’d never used it—not even once—because it hadn’t quite matched his strong, particular tastes.
Every time Melie saw the untouched perfume bottle, she couldn’t help but feel a bitter pang.
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!

Regardless of the reason, it felt far too harsh.
Cruelty? Believe me, you don’t know true cruelty yet.
"Take all the time you need, Melie. Think calmly."
His helplessness led him to seek help from the servants and their sympathy.
Even if she mustered extraordinary resolve and brought the pen to the document,
This guy is a really dangerous manipulator, bro 😐😐
