My Insolent Shadow (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 87
[Of course, our Piochelle is a girl of principle and decorum—she would never recklessly accept any young lord’s proposal.]
Except for that remark from Duke Perriot, Cassian had largely maintained his composure.
Deviron observed his son’s demeanor with quiet scrutiny.
Marquess Westernrode Perriot, who had just been boasting of his daughter’s beauty, grew increasingly flushed with offense at the sight of his son’s face—polite yet unmistakably indifferent.
True to his usual gentle nature, Deviron worked quite hard to soothe Westernrode’s rising anger.
The return journey carried the same dull silence as always.
It was only natural—spending long hours together in one carriage was torturous for a father and son who shared no warmth.
Inside the carriage, the space filled with the repeated exchange of a kind father’s questions and his son’s stiff, detached replies.
Hearing his son’s dry responses—“Yes,” or “I see”—utterly devoid of feeling, Deviron was suddenly struck by fear.
It was an indifference so uncanny, so reminiscent of his own grandfather, it was hard to believe this was his son.
Every gesture, posture, even the inflection of his voice carried an indescribable numbness.
Duke Deviron quietly watched his son’s impassive profile—the same unreadable expression he’d worn at the Perriot dinner table.
“Is there someone else you’ve set your heart on?”
Those cold eyes slowly turned toward Deviron.
“Does it matter?”
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.
