I Possessed the Wicked Empress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 188
If Arbian had been here, he could have judged Count Halstein’s sincerity—but Arbian was no more.
Unfortunately, Ermedilin lacked the ability to see a person’s soul.
Now, just as she had before meeting Arbian, she had no choice but to trust her own judgment.
‘Ah… it seems you’d have been better off here than I… Are you doing well over there?’
While Ermedilin briefly wondered about Arbian’s next life, Count Halstein knelt before her.
“As the late Emperor’s foremost confidant, I failed to faithfully uphold my oath of loyalty. I will accept any punishment you deem fit.”

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.
