“I like this New Year’s party.”
“Outside the banquet hall is even better. There are a lot of fun things.”
“Really? I’ve never been there before.”
He said it with such regret that it made Elise uncomfortable.
So she had impulsively made a promise.
“I’ll show you around tomorrow.”
Karan had smiled brighter than ever at her words.
It would be rude to say she couldn’t go now.
‘It’s not just rude; it would be disappointing.’
She had no choice but to fall asleep quickly.
Elise finally let go of the last strand of tension.
“Lady, you need to wash and sleep.”
“Sorry, Regina. I can’t even move.”
“I know, Lady.”
Elise entrusted herself to Regina’s skilled hands and fell asleep, not even realizing when it happened.
And she woke up as if it were soon after. Or so she thought.
“Regina, where did the night and morning go?”
Elise mumbled in dismay as she woke up in the afternoon.
“It’s nothing new, Lady. You do this every year after the New Year’s party.”
“This year was supposed to be different. It needs to be.”
Elise had promised Karan to explore the festival of the New Year’s party. She jumped out of bed.
“Lady, you’ll feel dizzy if you get up so suddenly. Just a moment, Lady! Don’t run around barefoot.”
Elise ignored Regina’s nagging and checked the time. It was already heading towards 3 PM.
Although they hadn’t set a precise time, considering the start of the banquet, they should meet by at least 12 PM.
Karan, being a reasonable person, would have prepared in advance and be waiting.
With that thought, she no longer cared about appearances.
“Dress!”
“Lady, are you preparing for the banquet already? You should eat first…”
“No! An outing dress!”
“Outing? Where are you going? If you need something, tell me. If you go out now, you won’t make it in time for the banquet…”
“I’ll handle it. Regina, the dress.”
Elise grabbed Regina’s forearm. Regina could no longer argue.
Elise started moving busily.
On the same day, early in the morning, Karan woke up.
Considering the time he returned from the banquet, his sleep was barely a nap.
His head throbbed due to the short sleep, but his mind was clearer than ever.
Maybe he should sleep a bit more.
Karan gazed at the pale blue sky, closing his eyes, but sleep did not come.
It wasn’t a resurgence of insomnia.
His insomnia had completely disappeared after spending the night with Elise.
It was just that he couldn’t sleep, mulling over every one of Elise’s actions and words.
Karan straightened his body and opened his eyes.
It was hard to believe he had just woken up, given the clear and bright look in his eyes.
“Elise.”
It still felt unbelievable that she, who once seemed so distant, had chosen him.
He often spoke her name out loud, fearing she might vanish like a mirage if he didn’t.
Despite spending more than half of the previous evening together, he wondered if his desperate longing was just an illusion.
That’s why he had asked her to dance throughout the previous day.
Because then he could touch her, be close to her, feel her breath.
When dancing with Elise, Karan felt as if he owned the world.
He wanted to take her away to a place where they could be alone and spend time together.
He regretted it later when he saw her tired face.
Did Elise understand his deep feelings? Surely, she didn’t.
The feelings she had for him couldn’t possibly match the intensity of his own.
Half? What a joke.
At most, it might be a quarter or even less.
It wasn’t her fault. She was just being kind.
Neither she nor the child with the empty eyes knew what consequences that kindness might bring.
Elise was still kind.
She seemed more distressed than him when he heard unfair remarks and tried to protect him.
When she stood up against the harsh stares of the Pedrocians as if she was protecting herself, Karan almost kissed her neck.
To think she tried to protect him with her small frame.
It was laughable. But Karan felt an indescribable sense of security and happiness.
He knew what he had to do to protect this happiness.
He had to hide himself.
A contract was nothing more than a piece of paper. If she wished, she could easily invalidate it.
Thinking of Elise made his body warm.
He must not let Elise see him like this.
He exhaled a hot breath. His thirst grew more intense.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
