“Miss Kasalyn is new to the Lernel Empire. She didn’t know such a rule, so it must have been an honest mistake. Please be understanding.”

“King. You didn’t even twitch when the maid was in trouble, but as soon as the Queen becomes the target, you’re all fired up.”

“…There’s no other intention.”

No. There must be another intention.

Strangely, Emperor Parnes had hit the nail on the head.

When Shallen thought I could handle it myself, he ignored the situation, but he was ready to protect his beloved Rose when she was in trouble.

Shallen added, trying to sound casual.

“Queen Rose and Kasalyn are sisters. I respect Kasalyn as much as I cherish the Queen. She is my ‘sister-in-law’, after all.”

His words painfully jabbed at my still unhealed wounds.

Just a few months ago, he had earnestly wooed me with words like, ‘I would even give up the throne for you.’

If he had any remorse, he wouldn’t have dared to say such shameless words.

I swallowed the painful pus oozing from the wound Shallen kept reopening.

In a way, it was a relief that a black curtain hid the space between the Emperor and me.

If that thin wall hadn’t been there, perhaps the Emperor would have seen my face, filled with deep sorrow.

If the Emperor of another country learned of my plight, being abandoned by Shallen overnight, there would be no greater shame.

Returning to the guest room where I would stay during our time in the Lernel Empire, I bathed cleanly and neatly combed my hair.
Even though I opened a book for my usual evening studies, strangely today, the words wouldn’t register in my mind.

Eventually, I closed the book and lay down on the bed.

“Why does the mysterious man from the flower tree garden linger so persistently in my thoughts? Given the circumstances, he seems to be a favored confidant of the Emperor, but why was he alone and wounded?”

While I was half-buried in the pillow, just blinking, someone knocked on the door.

Thinking it was a maid, I casually invited them in. But the person who entered was none other than Shallen.

Surprised that he would visit my room at this late hour, I reflexively tightened my robe and got up.

“I just came in because you allowed it. Don’t be so defensive.”

“What brings you to my room?”

“I have a question. It’s been puzzling me, and I can’t figure it out.”

“What is it?”

He hesitated for a moment, then wandered around the room.

Approaching the desk, he picked up the book I had been studying earlier.

Looking at the cover, he smirked, almost mockingly.

“World Politics… interesting choice for you. It’s useless now, isn’t it?”

I bit my lip.

He meant that there was no point in reading such books since I wasn’t destined to be a queen.

His earlier smile was indeed mockery.

Ignoring his comment, I got to the point.

“You said you had a question.”

“Why does Emperor Parnes know you?”

He closed the book with a thud and asked.

“You came all this way to ask that?”

“It’s not just anything. It’s extremely important to me.”

“I don’t think what I do or who I meet is any of your concern.”

“I’m the one asking questions. Don’t you dare question me, Kasalyn.”

He glared at me arrogantly.

I met his gaze without flinching.

“You seem to be under some misconception. I am not commanding you.”

Shallen approached and grabbed my chin tightly.

I wanted to push him away, as his touch was repulsive, but he closed the distance between us more assertively.

His perfume and breath, infuriatingly familiar, caused me involuntarily to tremble, despite my clenched jaw.

Shallen looked down at me, his eyes shimmering with a peculiar light.

“Answer me nicely. Why is Emperor Parnes interested in you?”

“What kind of fantasy are you entertaining?”

“Did you have a secret meeting with him while I was away?”

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.
