The Maid's Deception - Chapter 54 - 53: Damien Contronted Veronica

Look, I’m Riven Kael.Twenty-eight, data analyst, zero ambition beyond paying rent and avoiding small talk. My life was spreadsheets, instant ramen, and the occasional ghost I pretended not to see.Then one mandatory company gala, because of course it was mandatory, turned into the universe’s worst prank.I touched a cursed amulet.I just touched it.Next thing I know, I’m waking up in a penthouse that costs more than my entire bloodline, sporting a glowing marriage sigil on my wrist, legally and magically hitched to Azryth Valek.Yes, that Azryth Valek.The CEO of half the planet, a walking sin in a three-piece suit, an ancient demon lord who was literally sealed inside said amulet until I accidentally set him free.He says we’re bound. Separation means both of us die slowly and painfully.Soul-consumption optional but very much on the table if I’m stupid enough to fall for him. Which, newsflash, I am not. I’m not.Shut up.So now I’m living with an unfortunately hot CEO from hell, dodging assassination attempts disguised as corporate mergers, banishing spirits that show up at my desk like unpaid interns, and pretending we’re a power couple for the cameras while he smirks like he knows exactly how much I want to strangle him. Or kiss him. Or both.Brain, we are not doing this.I didn’t sign up for boardroom battles, multiversal rifts, or the terrifying realization that the arrogant demon who ruined my life might be the only one who truly sees me.But here I am. Still complaining, still fighting, still falling, against every shred of common sense, hopelessly, stupidly, irrevocably in love.Because when the universe marries you to the devil, it doesn’t ask for consent.It just hands you the ring.And damn it, I’m keeping it.

Lu Liran, the former deputy captain of the first federal mobile team, disappeared in a great war, and his life and death are unknown.
Seriously injured in the war, lingering on his last breath and penniless, Lu Liran was luckily bound by the survival system.
Under the tasks issued by the system——

The Giant at thirty degrees below zero, conquer the Arlok Glacier;
In the No Man’s land under the black wind and sand, travel deep into the oasis in the hinterland of Salba Desert;
The Island in the Sky under the blue sky, the challenge of surviving on an uninhabited island;
The Blue Hole in the Endless Abyss, exploring deep sea wrecks and lost ancient cities.
The Muddy Lands, the Forest of White Bones, gathering specialties of the Haunted Swamp;
The Lord of Fire, the giant dragon lurking on the ground……

Therefore, in the Desolate Star that hates the federal army the most, a man with a disfigured face and mysterious identity quietly appeared in the top ten dangerous uninhabited regions of Desolate Star. In exchange for rich bounty rewards by hunting rare and exotic beasts that ordinary people can’t hunt, and the live broadcast of wilderness survival, he also started rapidly sweeping the entire planet.

“Ah, the anchor looks so scary, no one dares to marry such an Alpha no matter how powerful he is!”

“??? Brother Lu, I can! Marry me! The sense of security is at max level, like!”

“The anchor is really a god. This is the first time I’ve seen someone at the top of this year’s list of Desolate Star’s Most Attractive Alpha + Least Wanted to Marry Alpha at the same time…”

During a live broadcast, a heavy rain washed away the scar on Lu Liran’s face.

The whole live room is boiling!!!

“Marry me, marry me! Brother, marry me!”

After the live broadcast was closed, another man, so handsome that people subconsciously held their breath, appeared. He surrounded Lu Liran’s body and whispered: “You’ve been missing for so many years with my cub, when are you going to give me a name?”

Lu Liran: “…”

Yes, this is still an old-fashioned story of O pretending to be A and running away with joy.

…

His Excellency, the First Commander of the Federal Army, disappeared suddenly in the peaceful post-war era. Until one day, everyone noticed that he appeared in a live broadcast room, happily pretending to be a s*upid human-shaped pendant, and unscrupulously pestering a male anchor with a terrifying face.

“Official announcement, this is the commander’s wife.” His Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief of the Federation, said so.

The live broadcast room is boiling again!!!
