I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 164
“Our little one!”
The moment they arrived at the imperial palace, Reniel was greeted by the woman who had once been Empress and was now Empress Dowager. As soon as she saw Reniel, she pulled her into a tight embrace and rubbed her cheek against Reniel’s.
“How worried I’ve been—do you have any idea?”
“Th-thank you….”
“Are you hurt anywhere? In pain? Did anything difficult happen to you?”
“Ah, no…!”
Reniel felt she couldn’t quite adjust to the Empress Dowager’s unusually bright expression. The woman before her looked utterly delighted.
Reniel found it astonishing—how could she appear so carefree, when all her children except Tanasis had already perished?
And as someone who would soon become a mother herself, Reniel knew that if she were to lose the child in her womb, she would feel as though she’d lost the entire world. The Empress Dowager must have lost several of her own children, after all.
“Your face has grown so thin. You really must have suffered greatly, haven’t you?”
The Empress Dowager remained gentle, beautiful, and splendid as ever. Yet Reniel felt strangely unfamiliar with her appearance.
“No… I’m….”
“From now on, let’s be happy here in the imperial palace. Tan has been waiting for you so long.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
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.
