I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 18
Reniel realized that Felix always wanted to listen to a heartbeat whenever it was time to sleep, so she obediently held his head and asked,
“Why does my lord want to hear a heartbeat?”
Felix didn’t answer her question.
He merely settled down little by little as he listened to the heartbeat coming from Reniel’s wrist.
Felix found this state curious.
Every time before, he never truly fell asleep—he’d remain half-awake in a hazy state until the medicine wore off, and then his memory would abruptly cut out.
So it felt strange now to actually feel sleepy.
Whenever the medicine took effect, his consciousness would simply vanish as if plunged into darkness; he’d never felt drowsy or as though he might truly drift off to sleep.
As he leaned his body languidly against her, he felt Reniel gently stroke his hair.
Though he thought he ought to twist her neck for such bold behavior,
he truly began to feel sleep creeping in and couldn’t resist it.
Reniel’s heartbeat was as loud as that of a pony, as if proving she was alive.
It thumped steadily—delicate yet strong, much like her own slender frame.
It was a contradictory description, yet the sound was both vividly noticeable and inherently pleasant, like the heartbeat of a tiny creature that had just sprinted to a halt.
He recalled that he’d drunk four bottles of whiskey.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!

Could it be her? Is it possible that she’s living in a state of shock and no one knows her identity?

Wait, what? For real? How come the Nuremberg Princess is hiding her gender and work at the mansion of the Duke who technically her archenemy? And Renal is Tanasis’ fiancee? Wow, never expected it to be revealed this early.
Very good story and i do prefer it if any person will give it a try worthy of your time
So apparently Renal is regarded as a threat for imperial family for her purifying ability and decided to make her Tanasias’ fiancee for close monitoring and helped him control his artificial ability. But Renal must’ve sensed or found out something that can put her life in danger. Thus she went into the hiding in the enemy’s nest and disguised as a man with the ring’s help. I wonder what kind of finding Reniel got to the point it threatened her life.
