Her sister always wanted everything Sesenia had. So this time, she resolved to hand over those crappy things to her sister. Clenching her fist, Sesenia decided not to let anyone, not even the people who pushed her to death in her past life, manipulate her.
Sesenia then headed to her naïve 19-year-old father.
The Duke had only two daughters and was deeply concerned about whom to pass the family to.
Sesenia, the second daughter, was smart but lacked charm, which the Duke didn’t like.
On the other hand, Elzer, who was full of charm and lovable, had no interest in business.
Sesenia worked hard to win her father’s favor and made the family prosper more than any other. Yet, the Duke wanted to give it to Elzer.
But Elzer, wanting free love and freedom, gave up the family. Even after marrying the crown prince, Sesenia took charge of the family, eventually making it hers.
‘But even that family was what she wanted.’
After completing everything, she wanted it all without any loss.
The more she thought about it, the more disgusted she was.
Of course, there was no guarantee that the same events wouldn’t unfold.
‘I won’t trust anyone in this life. Not my sister, not Ian, not the crown prince. Nor will I take the family. I will create my own and not let anything be taken away. I will give them hell for using me.’
These thoughts kept coming back to her. She remembered her friend and sister, who mocked her. Her hands trembled. Just then…
As Sesenia was heading to the Duke’s room, someone grabbed her arm.
“Sesenia! Are you on your way to see father?”
Her body froze at the familiar voice and action. It was Elzer.
“Sister.”
Unlike Sesenia, who had always been perceived as emotionless, everyone loved Elzer. Even Sesenia, her sister, found Elzer to be lovely.
Elzer was famous in the empire for being the most beautiful and intelligent. Men declaring their love for her and sending gifts were a constant at the Duke’s residence.
This was the routine until Sesenia became the crown princess and entered the palace. And Elzer loved all these men. In reality, she was using them under the guise of free love.
Back then, Sesenia admired her sister, thinking how incredible it was to manipulate so many hearts at will.
But she never imagined that this free love would extend to coveting her own husband, usurping her place, and eventually leading her to death. Sesenia couldn’t hide her expression.
‘The person who betrayed me in the future is this person… Why can’t I calm down? Get a grip. This person is… different from the one in the future.’
Sesenia forced a smile and looked at Elzer.
“Yes.”
“Were you okay yesterday? It was your first time drinking proper wine. Did it not give you a headache?”
“Yes.”
“Actually, I arranged that wine for you. I specially got it, thinking of making it a special occasion for you.”
Sesenia felt nauseous. The image of Elzer tenderly stroking her hand and talking about yesterday, juxtaposed with the memory of Elzer using a strange substance to paralyze her in prison, made it hard for her to calm down.
“That’s just like you, always unchanging.”
“Unchanging? What do you mean?”
Elzer’s look of ignorance as she gazed at her was repulsive.
“No, I just meant. You always look out for me.”
“That’s right! Who else in this world cares for you as much as I do?”
“Yes, always.”
Sesenia had truly believed that her sister loved her. She thought she was the most loved by her family, trapped in that absurd frame of thinking. Never imagining her sister would be the one to lead her to death.
Unaware that her sister would have an affair with her husband, bear his child, and use that child to lead her to her demise, she believed in the sincerity of her sister’s heart.
The bitterness in her mouth was overwhelming.
‘But now, I’ll be the one to use her.’
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.
