From their high vantage point, they watched the crowd like gods. From above, everything seemed small and insignificant. The Crown Prince, sharing Ricardo’s sentiment, uttered a scornful remark.
“Times like these, I think there’s only one reason humans differ from gods.”
“What… is it?”
“Love.”
Ricardo frowned at this unexpected word. Love was the most out-of-place term in this context.
“Humans can’t help but struggle in life because of love. If I hadn’t loved my wife and son…”
Ricardo felt he already knew the rest of the unsaid words.
If Stuart hadn’t loved his son and wife, he wouldn’t have entertained Ricardo’s threatening-like proposition. Then the cursed fate wouldn’t have intertwined to create another destiny. Maybe Stuart was right.
Even if based on an emotion he couldn’t remember, Ricardo’s choice must have been rooted in love.
“Anyway, if humans want to become like gods, they just need to not love. It’s their biggest weakness. Isn’t it ironic?”
“Turning into a philosopher facing death, are we?”
“Looks like death is really close. I’m not as scared of the end anymore.”
Ricardo laughed. He, too, was not afraid of death. But from some point, he became afraid of something unknown, a vague fear of losing something he never had.
Ricardo always neatly packed away these emotions. This made life terribly dull.
He didn’t know when this cynicism began to exist within him.
Of course, his cold demeanor, enough to make others shiver, had its benefits.
Ricardo developed the skill to observe all situations as a third party. To him, the world was merely a farce unfolding before him.
Most seemed just like someone else’s story.
“The fear of the sorrow that my wife will endure, the danger that my son will face, terrifies me far more than my own death. It seems humans really have no weakness other than love.”
“…….”
“Ah, there appears the only human who doesn’t consider this great love a weakness.”
The Crown Prince spoke excitedly, as if he had discovered an interesting animal.
The person he referred to was Julian.
Julian Bow Faquin, the heir of the Faquin ducal family.
“Today, we might as well call him a peacock.”
A beautiful man with splendid red hair and sweet honey-colored eyes. Men called him the greatest womanizer, women called him the lover of all, but Ricardo simply called him an opportunist.
“I heard his family’s ship sank recently, losing a tremendous amount of money to the sea.”
For the first time, both Ricardo and the Crown Prince’s faces lit up with the same kind of smile.
“It’s clear what kind of tricks he’s up to.”
“To live so carefreely, light as the wind. Just like his lower half.”
“Today’s yellow roses should actually all be bestowed upon the Faquin family.”
“No, he doesn’t need yellow roses. He himself should become a yellow rose today.”
Their faces bore a deeper smirk. The sinking of Faquin’s ship signified another tilt in his family’s fortunes. So, today, his target must be the recently widowed Countess Sullivan, who inherited a vast fortune.
“There’s a reason why he’s dressed so flamboyantly today.”
“How about a bet?”
“What bet do you have in mind?”
“A bet on whether Julian will approach the second prince first to make his acquaintance or not.”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
