Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 112
The child stared fixedly at Jacqueline’s awkwardly upturned lips. Lately, this had been happening often—Jacqueline, who always gave her best when with him, would drift off into distant thoughts.
Benjamin finally spoke upon noticing the shadow falling across her face.
“No, it’s fine. It’s hot, so shall we go inside?”
“Yes, let’s do that. I’ll ask Betty to make us a glass of cool lemonade.”
“One glass? What about you, teacher?”
Benjamin tossed a twig aside and briskly brushed off his hands. Then, he lifted his empty hands and naturally slipped them into Jacqueline’s.
Hand in hand, they swung their arms lightly as they walked side by side toward the mansion.
“I’ll ask for a cup of warm tea.”
“Warm tea? But it’s this hot?”
Benjamin tilted his head, baffled. Jacqueline chuckled softly.
“When you’re a little older, you’ll find yourself drinking warm tea even on hot days. Nobles consider it refined manners.”
“Yes.”
Though his expression remained puzzled, the boy obediently nodded. Just as they reached the mansion entrance, William happened to appear and opened the door for them.
“Thank you.”
Jacqueline gave her feet a light shake at the threshold before stepping inside. The stone building felt refreshingly cooler than outside, prompting an involuntary sigh of relief.
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

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.

I love how passionate and emotionally driven both of them are in this chapter 😭😭😭
Oh my!!! I can’t handle it anymoreeee! They are giving me a heart attack🤭🤭
I must say, some chapters back, I complained that the author were unnecessarily sensual in their description of Windsor desire (considering this is not an NSFW work). But, now I’m more glad than ever lmaoo
