I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 139
Berain was flustered by his father’s cold words.
The knights approaching from around him had terrifyingly grim expressions. He was afraid, wondering why his father had suddenly acted this way.
“I will drink it. But I wish to ask why first.”
Nevertheless, Berain concealed his unease and obediently accepted the bottle of truth serum the knight offered him.
Duke of Nuremberg gazed coldly at Berain, lost in thought.
‘Father, do you love your daughter that much?’
‘Isn’t she the daughter we finally received after so long? Look how overjoyed your mother is.’
Lilith Nuremberg was a blessing to House of Marquis Charlonte.
Up until then, Duchess of Nuremberg had given birth only to five sons, which had left her deeply depressed. Boys’ energy was truly extraordinary—each of her five sons took after their famously robust and warrior-like father to such an extent that they were bursting with vigor and constantly exhausted their mother.
Although she loved her sons dearly, the duchess had longed desperately for a daughter who resembled her.
Her sons looked so entirely like their father that one might question whether they were truly hers.
Perhaps for that reason, Duchess of Nuremberg had often felt distressed. All the children she had suffered to bring into the world seemed less like her own offspring and more like mere extensions of her husband. She couldn’t help but think how wonderful it would be to have a child who resembled her.
After bearing five sons, the duchess had grown distant from her husband and assumed she would have no more children. Though, unlike her, the duke had continued showing her affection.
Thus, when she discovered she was pregnant again, she was confused.
‘Darling, what if it’s another boy? I really can’t…’
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.
