49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 37
I was so shocked that I couldn’t answer right away and just stared fixedly at the Emperor.
The Emperor, who made me wonder if the 13th Prince would look like that when older, gazed back at me just as intently, his lips curled slightly upward.
He seemed in a much better mood than when he’d hurled his inkstone—probably because the matter with the 9th Hwang Nyeo had been resolved smoothly. But then again, why had that good mood suddenly turned toward reassigning my post?
Seeing that I didn’t respond immediately, the Emperor spoke again.
“You graduated with outstanding results. It’s a bit awkward for you to enter Gwon Hwa Hak right now, so if you’re aiming for a high-ranking position, I’ll transfer you to the Secretariat.”
This hadn’t happened before my regression. Flustered, I just kept staring at him until, noticing his growing displeasure from my prolonged silence, I hastily gave whatever answer came to mind.
“But, Your Majesty, wasn’t there already talk of a marriage arrangement? Our household already considers it settled that I will wed His Highness the 13th Prince. If the engagement were to fall through now, our elders would be deeply disappointed.”
“I heard you have a younger sister, one year your junior.”
“!”
“You haven’t exchanged birth charts yet, nor has any official engagement taken place. If your sister marries the 13th Prince instead, your family elders won’t be disappointed.”
I’m not usually good at reading others’ intentions, but now I think I understood what the Emperor was thinking.
Before this incident, it would’ve been difficult to even suggest marrying the 13th Prince—who was mistreated by everyone—to the legitimate second daughter of the Yo family.
But now that marriage talks had already begun, and given that the Emperor still held the Yo family’s secret, that fact remained unchanged.
Thus, he must have assumed my parents couldn’t possibly reject this proposal—not when it involved my secret of cross-dressing.
I quickly lowered my gaze. My heart began pounding at an alarming speed.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
