Nor did she want to remain in this luxuriously empty mansion any longer. She couldn’t stay destined to be by Eugene’s side.

‘So you, too, should not look back at me.’

Helena finally left Evergail.

The gentle hum filled the beautifully decorated room.

In the center, a woman hummed with her eyes closed in front of a large mirror on the dressing table. The maid, brushing her hair, spoke softly.

After the maid finished explaining, the woman finally opened her eyes.

“Is that all that happened in the mansion during this time?”

Her green eyes sparkled under her lush eyelashes. More radiant than the intricately cut emeralds decorating the mirror, the maid paused her brushing to reply.

“Yes. It’s a bit surprising that Madam, who always stayed at the mansion, suddenly went on a trip.”

As the maid resumed her motion, the woman’s hair waved like a golden wheat field.

Picking up one of the letters on the dressing table, the woman smiled. The elegantly written letters starting with ‘To Natasha’ were always her great pride.
“Did he show any signs of leaving with you?”

“No, he mentioned having frequent business meetings starting tomorrow. Since we’ve been ordered to keep the reception room ready at all times, it seems Duke Evergail will stay at the mansion.”

“I see. Then make sure all my nightdresses are cleaned and ready. He’ll be coming here soon.”

Natasha’s smile deepened, confirming her elevated mood. The maid, noticing this, cautiously broached another topic.

“Miss…?”

“What, is there something else you want to say?”

“I’ve told you everything, so as promised, my brother can work at the mansion too, right?”

Natasha smiled warmly through the mirror at the maid.

“Of course, don’t worry. It’s only a matter of time before I become Duke Evergail’s beloved mistress, and I know how to treat those who will be my eyes and ears.”

She reached over the brush passing through her hair, gently touching the maid’s rougher hand.

The maid flinched, but Natasha gripped her hand more firmly.

“Will you continue to be my companion in the mansion? Without you, I’d be so lonely. I trust only you, Aida.”

Aida, the maid appointed by Eugene to serve Natasha, blushed at her words.

“Of course, Miss.”

Her hurried response was clumsy but filled with loyalty. Such tones always gave Natasha a thrilling sense of satisfaction.

Natasha continued to stare at Aida’s freckled face in the mirror.

‘If you’re poor, you should at least have a pretty face, intelligence, or some talent. How pitiful.’

Life-hardened faces were truly crude.

“How’s your mother doing, Aida?”

“Thanks to your concern, she’s much better. Thank you so much.”

Aida had a sick mother to care for. Natasha knew when people became most loyal – it was desperation that made them easiest to manipulate.

‘Controlling people is so easy… That woman was so naive. If you can’t escape desperation, you should use others to rise.’

She took the brush from Aida’s hand, replacing it with a hair ornament from a box.

The hairpin, embedded with a tiny ruby, was expensive. Aida gasped in awe.

“Oh, Miss…!”

‘See, just a hairpin and she willingly tightens her own leash.’

Natasha shifted her gaze from Aida and looked straight ahead. Her vibrant green eyes came into focus.

“Don’t be satisfied with just that. It’s only the beginning. You’ll have more than you ever wished for.”

I’ll make sure of it.

The blonde woman in the mirror responded with a dazzling smile.

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:

Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?

Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?

Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?

The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.

The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.

Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
