How To Choose A Knight (28 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 37
Finally, the house came into view.
Axel chuckled briefly upon seeing the path to Oli’s house completely cleared of snow. Someone had finished the job thoroughly after he’d only pushed it aside partway.
She must have been working hard even without him. Left alone, the snow would have melted quickly anyway with the fine weather.
Attila’s final stomp echoed like thunder, yet there was no response from inside the house. Axel dismounted with a faint sense of disappointment.
Maybe she didn’t hear. Jade often became so absorbed in something that she seemed utterly deaf…
“Good job, Attila.”
He pulled the saddle off Attila and tossed it under the fence. The horse wandered off lightly on its own. No need to worry—any ordinary beast would be subdued by a single kick.
Intending to give it sugar later, Axel strode across the yard and grabbed the doorknob.
Click.
Contrary to expectation, the door wouldn’t open. He glanced sideways—the shutters were firmly closed, and inside, not a hint of human presence could be sensed.
Where could she have gone?
Axel frowned slightly.
Because he’d galloped far from the west, it was nearly sunset by the time he arrived.
Well, honestly, it wasn’t that dark yet—but he’d been certain Jade would already be back. He knew her now. Jade never repeated the same mistake twice.
Yet the door was locked and the house empty. He felt a strange pang of disappointment.
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.

Fortunately the king honored their agreement! I think he’ll take an even better liking to jade when his brother returns!
