I Possessed the Wicked Empress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 56
The moment the carriage carrying Ermedilin, who had just finished inspecting the sewers, disappeared into the distance, Pelio sank down right where he stood.
The servant attending Pelio panicked and tried to lift him up, but stepped back at Pelio’s firm gesture.
Pelio loved his mother, as any son would.
Perhaps because she had married for political reasons due to her dwindling bloodline as a mage, Pelio’s mother was never particularly affectionate toward his father.
There were far more days when his parents ignored each other than when they behaved warmly.
Such an environment inevitably affected their child.
As their only child, Pelio grew increasingly introverted and cynical the more indifferent his parents became toward one another—
so much so that, separate from his love for them, he developed a deep aversion to the very idea of marriage and forming a family.
In that environment, the handkerchief had been a gift from his mother on his last birthday before she passed away.
As he recalled, that day had probably been the last time he saw his parents acting kindly toward each other.
Whatever had happened, their already distant relationship deteriorated rapidly after his birthday, and a few months later, his mother died, struck down by a dreadful curse.
To Pelio, that handkerchief was no mere scrap of cloth.
It was the final fragment of the harmonious family he had so desperately longed for.
But what meaning could such a handkerchief possibly hold now?
After all, he had resolved to protect the woman who, unable to control her beastly heart, had killed his mother—and to turn his back on his father.

When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”

This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
