If You Want A Cheeky Seductress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 174
“People said we had to be sacrificed, but Mother opposed it. The villagers were adamant, and Mother pleaded—offering herself in place of her children. That’s how Mother disappeared.”
A bitter smile flickered at Cain’s lips.
“The man who was dragging us away to be sacrificed told me himself. He was our neighbor, someone who used to play kindly with us. He was always so gentle. So, when I killed him, I made sure he felt no pain.”
Cain recalled that day.
On the day their father abandoned the children their mother had protected, Cain and Adrian weren’t even tied up. The villagers trusted the twins wouldn’t run away—and indeed, they didn’t.
With even their father having forsaken them, there was nowhere to flee. And the moment they learned the truth behind their mother’s disappearance, they lost all will to live.
“‘Oh, I see. We’re just people meant to die.’ Both Adrian and I thought that way.”
Roxiana tried imagining the Tellis brothers as they were then—having given up on life—but couldn’t quite picture it. The Tellis brothers she knew were bright as sunshine.
People who walked a radiant path, untouched by wrinkles or pain, free from any shadow.
“We were moving in broad daylight. That way, if any monsters approached, we’d spot them quickly. Even though the sun was shining brightly, eerie sounds coming from all around frightened us. It was slightly amusing, too. ‘We’re going to die soon anyway—what’s so scary about monsters? Whether we die this way or that, it’s all the same. Why fear meeting a monster?’ As we trudged along like that, we saw a flame.”
It was a man like a flame.
Seated atop a massive crimson steed, the man himself seemed a towering inferno.
“Our lord must’ve been about our age—fourteen or so—but he was already enormous. Both the horse he rode and he himself were huge. Though he wasn’t using fire at the time, I saw flames emanating from him. Truly dazzling.”
—“So it’s true that the Baksen region stays alive by offering sacrifices! Sacrificing children this young—aren’t they ashamed? What are the adults even doing? What’s the point of living just a few more years?”
Just then.
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).
