I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 114
Reniel’s mind was in turmoil.
If she returned to Felix’s mansion like this, she would surely die. Felix Le Pelique was generous enough to give chances to his own people, but the likelihood he would spare someone who betrayed him was low.
It would have been better if she had committed embezzlement or breach of trust instead.
If she faced Felix, she would have to explain why she had run away.
But—
If she admitted it from the very beginning, she would be confessing that she had deliberately deceived the ducal household and entered as a servant.
Wouldn’t she then be suspected as a spy?
Originally, she had only taken the job for a comfortable retirement and livelihood. Yet she knew no one would believe her circumstances.
She might easily be seen as someone who had infiltrated for some hidden motive.
And the fact that she had deceived them for a full ten years would surely result in aggravated punishment. Moreover, she wasn’t just an ordinary servant—she was Deputy Chief Steward, and had she stayed just a little longer, she could have become Chief Steward.
Would Felix even believe her words?
If she told him she had disguised herself and taken the job out of sheer necessity for survival, would he accept that?
If she said it was because she was terrified of going hungry, of not having enough to eat, and afraid that as a woman she’d end up as a nursemaid to some old noble in the remote provinces…
Who would believe she’d had such thoughts since the age of ten?
It would actually be more believable if people thought she was either an agent sent by someone else who had spent ten years deceiving them, or someone harboring a grudge against House Le Pelique.
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.

I would appreciate it if someone could clarify for me whether she is indeed the princess
Is she originally a princess and lost? I don’t know; I haven’t read it in order yet.
The heroine is a bag of potatoes that is passed around among many people.
