After Linking the Villainess and Male Lead (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 62
“Could Duke Lavellion really be like that?”
At my words, the Empress fixed me with a meaningful gaze and asked.
“Yes. Though His Grace may appear a bit cold on the outside, he actually delights in receiving guests. He’s also thoughtful and warm-hearted, so I’m certain he would warmly welcome Your Majesty’s visit.”
The Empress stared at me as if trying to probe the truth of my words to the very end, but I maintained an expression that betrayed not even a hint of falsehood.
‘After all, it’s the truth. Everyone mistakes Kaern for being cold, but he truly is a warm person.’
While I was lost in such thoughts, the Empress lightly nodded, as if deciding to let the matter rest for now, and changed the subject.
“Oh, that’s right. I heard the two of you will soon hold your wedding—is that correct?”
“Huh? Ah, yes. His Grace has only just returned from the battlefield, so we plan to wait a bit longer until he has more time to settle.”
Though momentarily flustered, I quickly concealed my expression and replied calmly.
“I see. Then, once Lady Rosentia becomes Duchess Lavellion, be sure to invite me. I’ll come in person.”
“Yes. I certainly will.”
After that, the Empress placed me before her and resumed chatting with other noble ladies.
It felt as if she were deliberately excluding me on purpose.
‘How long must I endure this?’
Standing alone beside the table, I kept sensing the glances of passing guests flickering toward me.

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.
