Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 137
And the Queen Consort looked up at him with her bright blue eyes. Salode met the woman’s testing gaze without flinching and spoke.
“I am an official of Aglante.”
Perhaps uttering those words right now was no different from kicking away with his own feet any chance of reconciling with the Queen Consort.
Salode knew that deepening his rift with her could jeopardize his position. How many officials had lost their posts simply because they’d fallen out of favor with their lord’s spouse? Even a few generations ago, a prime minister had been executed and his head displayed in the marketplace solely because he’d incurred the queen’s hatred.
Of course, the Queen Consort wasn’t of that temperament, and the King himself never mixed personal feelings into official matters—but then again, one could never be too certain.
Yet giving a dishonest answer from his current position would have been far worse.
Salode had no intention of making a choice he’d be ashamed of. It weighed far heavier to know oneself that something was shameful than to have others merely assume it.
The most essential thing a person must protect in life was the integrity of their inner self. Thus, Salode voiced the thought that best embodied his belief.
“An official must make choices for the sake of the nation.”
The Queen Consort stared silently at him for a moment before nodding.
“Yes… I suppose you’re right.”
Her words carried neither hostility nor goodwill. Setting down the teacup she’d been holding, the Queen Consort shook her head.
“I asked a foolish question. I won’t keep you any longer—please go.”

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.
