Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 62
When I woke up in the morning, Dimidius was gone. He always rose early, so that was to be expected. This time, I hadn’t slept well. Perhaps because my sleep had been shallow, my head felt slightly dizzy. Sleeping beside Dimidius was truly nerve-wracking. I’d tossed and turned all night, struggling desperately just to fall asleep.
Orentia returned to her own room, dressed herself, and then headed instinctively toward the rose garden. Breakfast would be set there, and Dimidius would surely be waiting.
But in the rose garden, Kilrun stood beside Dimidius, engaged in what appeared to be a serious conversation.
Orentia approached carefully and overheard their discussion.
“Who on earth published this scandalous article?”
“I’ll find out immediately, Your Grace.”
“It doesn’t seem like the Crown Prince’s doing…”
Orentia, having caught every faint word, stepped forward and appeared before them.
“A scandal article? What’s going on?”
Dimidius folded the newspaper he’d been holding and cleared his throat loudly.
“It’s nothing.”
‘How I loathe that sound!’
Orentia fixed him with a sharp look and held out her hand.
“Give me the newspaper. I need to know why you’re hiding it from me.”
Her tone was firm, so Dimidius sighed and handed her the paper. Orentia unfolded it and gasped at the front-page article. She’d expected a story about the Empress, but instead found an article accusing her of an affair with Regalis.
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.
