Don't Pick That Flower (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 112
The tension that had loosened tightened again the moment I saw the Emperor’s face.
My heart pounded, and my mouth went completely dry.
In this atmosphere, I doubted I could even manage a proper meal—let alone a single slice of bread.
“I humbly greet the resplendent Sun of the Empire.”
At least I was fortunate enough to have greeted him properly without making a mistake.
Thank goodness I hadn’t disgraced His Serene Highness the Grand Duke.
Irene genuinely sighed in relief, straightening her back.
Keeping her gaze slightly lowered, she subtly scanned the people seated around the dining table.
Naturally, the Emperor sat at the head of the table.
I’d heard he was well past fifty, yet he appeared to be a handsome man in his early forties.
To the Emperor’s right sat the Empress, and beside her was an unfamiliar woman with a red-haired boy who seemed to be her son.
Those must be the Fourth Imperial Consort and her son, Prince Bennet.
Thanks to Jesse having previously explained the imperial family tree and the guest list for tonight’s banquet, Irene recognized them immediately.
On the Emperor’s left sat Jerdin, and next to him, only tableware had been set.
That was precisely where Carlos and Irene were to sit.

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.
Intro
As an enchantress, Su Heng possesses captivating eyes and charming beauty, easily manipulating the joys and sorrows of living beings at her fingertips.
But to enchant a god, making him taste the bitterness of love’s separation, long-lasting resentment, unattainable desires, and inability to let go…
Do you dare?
Su Heng assists a divine lord in his cultivation, aiming to make him experience all the sufferings of love, so that he can attain the Great Dao.
Only after being chased down from the heavens by the divine lord, confined and completely possessed by him, does she realize how successful she has been.
The once gentle and polite youth has transformed into someone she no longer recognizes.
