He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 87
The sound of stifled sobs mingled with the rain.
Adrian’s heart grew heavy seeing Laila alone in sorrow, standing amid the rain-drenched sea where waves rolled.
Except for that one time, half-dreaming and half-awake, when she’d cried in his arms, she had always pretended to be strong before him.
‘Does that mean her guilt runs this deep?’
That childhood incident that tore them apart had begun with Laila’s tears.
Yet no matter how deeply he regretted it, where could a tender, easily wounded heart possibly go?
‘I had a bad feeling about this.’
He was glad he’d followed her out. Nothing could be more dreadful than Laila shedding tears without his knowing.
Adrian forgot his own soaked clothes and kept watching her movements from behind a pillar.
The downpour, which had briefly eased when he’d come out, gradually let up—and so did Laila’s weeping.
But hearing her still unsteady, hitching breaths, Adrian soon stepped forward.
The sharp click of his shoes on the ground made Laila flinch visibly.
Adrian ignored it and stepped right in front of her.
“Why are you out here?”
“…Your Highness?”
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.
