Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 187
“Ian, what brings you here so early? In this weather…”
Ian, his gaze fixed on Laura’s right hand, replied softly.
“I told you. Because I missed you.”
“So you moved up your schedule?”
“With the rain coming, all the wagon drivers headed to the tavern, so I left my luggage at the inn and came on a borrowed horse.”
Laura looked at Ian’s wet hair with pity.
“You could have waited until the weather cleared. Why rush?”
“It’s exactly because of the rain that I hurried. My wife’s hand is in such pain.”
Ian soaked the cooled cloth in warm water again.
‘Ian…’
Tears welled up in Laura’s eyes. As his love touched her heart, it stung like a thorn piercing her chest. It was strange. Normally, his care brought her only happiness.
Ian repeated the process, rewarming the cloth each time it cooled and placing it on her hand. After about an hour, he gently stroked Laura’s slightly reddened hand and asked,
“How does it feel now?”
“…It’s better.”
He smiled and kissed her right hand.
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.
