I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 37
“Don’t come around at dawn anymore. It’s annoying.”
Ianathas was now forbidden from entering the duke’s residence at dawn—an ironic twist after nearly five years of reporting to Felix at the exact same time every day due to the latter’s orders.
He used to check on Felix around 5 a.m., carefully avoiding 3 a.m.—the hour when Felix’s madness peaked.
After all, among those skilled in stealth, none surpassed Ianathas.
Moreover, assassins had always been targeting his lord, so he stood guard near the mansion.
Yet, for the past five years, any assassin—no matter who—was torn to pieces by Felix’s own hands faster than Ianathas could intervene. And his lord never, ever left the third floor.
Recently, though, it seemed Felix had even begun going up to the fifth floor, but normally, once asleep, he absolutely never moved to another floor.
He would wander around the third floor freely, then return to his room at 5 a.m., and by 6 a.m., lie motionless on his bed, staring blankly into space.
In truth, his consciousness was clearly numbed by medication, leaving only unconsciousness—but even that was precious time for Felix, who previously couldn’t sleep at all.
“Kyaaa!”
Thwack!
Just as he was about to lose himself in thought, a woman’s sudden scream made him frown.
“Kyaaak! Look at this!”
Thwack! Rustle-rustle-rustle!
“Ahahaha!”
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.
Intro
As an enchantress, Su Heng possesses captivating eyes and charming beauty, easily manipulating the joys and sorrows of living beings at her fingertips.
But to enchant a god, making him taste the bitterness of love’s separation, long-lasting resentment, unattainable desires, and inability to let go…
Do you dare?
Su Heng assists a divine lord in his cultivation, aiming to make him experience all the sufferings of love, so that he can attain the Great Dao.
Only after being chased down from the heavens by the divine lord, confined and completely possessed by him, does she realize how successful she has been.
The once gentle and polite youth has transformed into someone she no longer recognizes.

Who is the man with her? I hope someone can tell me, as I haven’t been reading the chapters regularly.
It certainly looked nice, why don’t you add an illustration?
I would appreciate it if someone could clarify for me
