My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 87
Helena sensed danger the moment someone of unknown identity came trudging toward her.
There was no one else expected to visit, not even Kalis. Her parents had already conveyed their feelings through a letter.
In that letter, they claimed they had appeared as witnesses out of worry that their daughter would someday be punished by the gods.
What utter nonsense. Clearly, they were after money.
Whether it was when she helped Helena with Jane’s affair, when she claimed the Emperor himself had come to see her, or even when she stood at the trial!
She had pretended otherwise, but in truth, she had always acted for money.
That was the moment.
“Hello?”
The person who had stirred Helena’s curiosity finally appeared.
‘Who is this man?’
Upon closer inspection, he seemed like the man she had briefly locked eyes with in the audience. She couldn’t see his face clearly because of his robe, but his aura was similar enough to leave an impression. Now that she looked carefully, even the eyepatch peeking out from under his hat was identical.
“You look quite the sight, don’t you?”
His voice, too, sounded oddly familiar.
‘The victim must have been at fault. Otherwise, how could the lady have committed a crime?’
It felt just like that low voice that had unexpectedly burst out from the audience.
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.

Lol, what a ridiculously mysterious way of stating when the appointment time is. Although, I did get the impression the guy is a sorcerer or magician of some sort. Did he implant those thoughts into Helena’s mind during the trial?
It seems to me that Kalis was not as attached to Helena as I had previously thought. He behaved as if utterly devoted to her initially. Did he even really mourn her death? He tossed her and their unborn child aside quite cruelly. I was surprised he behaved that way towards their child and Helena considering all he sacrificed to keep Helena in his life and at the estate. Perhaps he did not consider what he lost as a sacrifice but as things that were stolen from him by Chloe and now, the emperor. Helena too did not comprehend personal accountability nor being responsible for one’s own actions. Those two shared quite a few undesirable traits. The most surprising one being how entitled they behaved considering their stations.
He also will not consider the fact that Chole has no motive to kill Helena, nor will he consider a possible 3rd party as the murderer. (I am reminding myself it is not nice to call names or use insulting words towards people, even if those people are characters that do not exist in 3D.)
