Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 87
Berita looked up at Runox with desperate eyes and choked back a sob. Tears pitifully streaked the corners of her eyes.
“I—I don’t care even if you killed someone. I’m the only one who understands you, right? I’ll keep secret the fact that you harmed Viscountess Dian and my sister. We must rely on each other now. So….”
Her rambling trailed off the moment her gaze met that of her friend, and she realized his eyes were as ruthlessly cold as a deep winter frost.
Runox bitterly twisted his lips.
“How pitiful. Humans always regret only after they’ve lost something.”
“…….”
“If you fear loneliness so much, you shouldn’t have betrayed your sworn sister. She was the only one who truly loved you despite your worthlessness.”
Berita numbly let her hand drop, and Runox turned away callously.
Watching his retreating figure, Berita asked blankly, tears now cold on her cheeks.
“Runox… just who are you…?”
The question that suddenly brushed through her mind was primal—something she’d wondered since first meeting him but never dared ask, hiding her doubts to preserve their bond, afraid of losing the one person who held her up.
She knew, too, that not a single rumor or speculation surrounding him held any truth. At that, Runox halted and turned back toward her.
“You lost me long ago in distant ages. I’ve been gone for ages.”
He whispered it so faintly it sounded like a sigh, then vanished abruptly.
Between his dark locks, his crimson eyes met hers—so chilling, so utterly wretched—that Berita could only watch helplessly as the last person she had slipped away like the wind.
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.
