Oh No, I Possessed a Male Character! (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 62
I calmly rebutted in a composed tone.
“If throwing money around could lift everyone out of poverty, wouldn’t anyone do it? The reason they don’t is precisely because it’s not a fundamental solution.”
I couldn’t afford to raise my voice in front of an agitated Rumi. To stay calm, I stared at her with an expressionless face.
She gripped the hem of her skirt fiercely. The fine fabric crumpled into a mess.
“You’ve received unemployment benefits yourself, haven’t you? Even people on basic livelihood support get money! All those welfare policies you talk about are just various kinds of subsidies—so what exactly is the problem?”
Rumi’s argument made sense.
Honestly, there weren’t many types of welfare benefits available to unmarried young adults like her or me.
Moreover, due to our limited social experience, we barely knew of more than a few welfare programs.
As the saying goes, “You only see what you know,” so Rumi firmly believed the 1,000 Kroom initiative was a good thing.
Yet in the modern world, welfare programs that gave out money weren’t something just anyone could receive.
“Not everyone gets unemployment benefits—it’s subject to specific conditions.”
I disliked how ignorant Rumi was, acting as if unemployment benefits were easy to obtain despite never having held a job.
“And basic livelihood support? That’s nowhere near the amount you’re handing out—1,000 Kroom. It’s barely enough to keep someone from literally starving to death.”
“Who said I’m giving 1,000 Kroom every month? It’s distributed in three installments, totaling 1,000 Kroom. That sum could be vital for someone in the slums. Besides, my relief project isn’t inherently wrong!”
Rumi slapped her chest in frustration.
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.

Hearing how Klaus describes Rumi/Elfride, it seems as if the inclination that brought them into this world placed them into a character that suits/ fits their personality. That explains why it’s not hard for them to blend as well as they have a the character they became.
Also, poor prince. As he hasn’t experienced these types of emotions before, he’s fumbling every which way. His reasoning does make sense for him though. If this is how I feel, you would feel the same way too! Very 1 dimension, as someone who is first discovering this emotion might think.
Oh wow! It feels like everything I was saying about Muzel in earlier chapters was addressed somewhat here. This chapter is so good for her character growth! Sadly, I think this will strengthen her point of not getting with Klaus for her. Poor Klaus
Aww! Klaus emotional growth is really something, especially compared to Muzel’s. He’s clumsy on the execution but firm on his feelings.
Also, this chapter made me feel like Muzel is really emotionally…stunted? I think that’s it. I can’t remember the last chapter I read where she isn’t riddled with anxiety or churning with emotions.
