My Insolent Shadow (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 37
The ornate pattern engraved upon the antique box caught Yuriciel’s eye.
Embossed atop the chest, which bore an inscription crafted in elegant calligraphy imitating some ancient script, was a lavish Lysianthus motif.
The moment she flipped open the box, Yuriciel drew in a sharp breath.
Fine-threaded lace of exquisite quality, beautifully set gemstones as accents, and a silk dress perfectly tailored to fit her body like it was made just for her.
Yuriciel couldn’t tear her gaze away from the dress for a long while.
She had never seen a dress this beautiful in her entire life.
Though noble young ladies might consider it just another gown among countless ordinary ones in their wardrobes, it was something she had never encountered in the world she lived in.
The Young Master’s face briefly flashed through her mind, the one who had casually murmured, “I wonder…?”
That was what he had said the moment he’d concluded the banquet had nothing to do with her.
Cassian. So, had the Young Master been planning to drag her to the banquet from that very instant?
Her initial wonder at the dress gradually sank into subdued melancholy.
Just the sight of the dress alone brought him so vividly to mind that it gave her a headache.
Anyone seeing her in such a splendid gown, attending a banquet she’d never even dreamed of, would surely call her fortunate—but reality was far different.
What would truly change by wearing something so noble that didn’t belong to her, standing amidst people like that?
If anything, it would only make her position here—neither truly belonging to this mansion nor anywhere else, like an impurity wedged in—painfully clear.
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.
