You Can't Catch the Wind (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
〈You useless failure, not even worth your weight!〉
At the voice crashing in alongside the fist, Ael covered her head and curled up her body.
The servants standing in the corridor beyond the open door whispered among themselves as they watched the scene. But they weren’t particularly surprised.
After all, this happened nearly every day at Viscount Aradis’s estate.
Ael didn’t ask them for help. They would inevitably pretend not to see anything, always watching Viscount Aradis’s every move.
That would be the best-case scenario. Later, when out of her father’s sight, they’d surely mock her.
〈Who would ever take someone like you! Keep acting so arrogantly, and you’ll end up married to some old man with no title!〉
At the word “marriage,” a choked, whimpering sound escaped from Ael’s throat.
Marriage had always been a source of terror for Ael.
It couldn’t have been otherwise—Viscount Aradis always spoke of marriage as if it were a punishment Ael deserved whenever he laid hands on her.
He’d tell her he’d sell her off as a bride to some dreadful man for money, then crudely describe things no child should ever hear, instructing her on what she’d have to do after marriage.
Though Ael didn’t fully understand what exactly happened in bed as described by the Viscount, she knew it must be something terribly shameful and horrifying.
That fear and disgust hadn’t changed much even after she’d grown into an adult—she’d merely learned to hide it.
It was only after meeting Calon that Ael began whispering the word “marriage” to herself with a fluttering heart.
As her bond with him grew closer, Ael saw her own wedding for the first time in a dream.

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.
