Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 162
He kissed the shawl once before folding it neatly and placing it in the drawer of the bedside table. It seemed he intended to keep it forever.
Laura felt a strange mix of emotions. Ever since that day they took shelter from the rain in the cabin, he must have taken out that shawl and thought of her. A tattered piece of fabric, bought for five pence at a secondhand market, kissed daily and pressed against his face.
It was touching. His pure devotion.
Laura stroked his cheek. It pained her to feel that her husband’s usually smooth skin had grown rough in just a day.
“Now that you can hold me anytime, why not discard it?”
“Who knows when we’ll end up sleeping in separate rooms again? Without that, what would I do?”
“We just need to make sure that doesn’t happen. We just need to avoid making each other angry.”
“That’s up to you. I could never be angry with you.”
“Life is long. Someday, you’ll be so furious with me you won’t be able to stand it.”
He chuckled.
“I can’t imagine that. With an angelic wife like you?”
He paused, thinking for a moment, then asked, “Planning to have an affair?”
Laura flinched in shock.
“Are you mad?”
He gazed down at her steadily.
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
As an enchantress, Su Heng possesses captivating eyes and charming beauty, easily manipulating the joys and sorrows of living beings at her fingertips.
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.
