Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 114
Once the feelings that had leaked out began to pour forth unstoppably. His hand gently wiped around my eyes.
“Don’t cry, my lady.”
“Yezar, may I be greedy for you…? I didn’t know, but I’m very greedy. So if you’re busy and leave me alone, I might get angry. I want to stay in your heart longer than… longer than when Her Majesty the Empress was in your heart. My first love was taken away, but I want to be your only last love.”
The words came out endlessly without pause. I had been content just hearing his confession of love. Words I had never dared to hope for.
Hearing that he loved me made me want even more. I wished he wouldn’t leave me alone. I wished he would continue to cherish me. I hoped I would never have to watch his retreating figure.
“My lady, you are mistaken. I am the greedy one. I wanted you, my lady, who knew nothing. From the beginning, I wanted to be by your side. That’s what I had been hoping for.”
Soon his lips swallowed my words. The night that followed after we learned each other’s hearts was endless.

I could feel him wiping my body with a wet towel. It wasn’t that I couldn’t move, but I wanted to entrust myself to his touch, so I stayed still. Outside the window where the rain had stopped, dawn was breaking.
Wearing a robe, I blinked my languid eyes and asked him.
“Yezar. What did you mean when you said you wanted to be by my side from the beginning?”
When I came to my senses a little, I remembered what he had said. So when I asked, Yezar, who had seated me properly on the bed, softly curved his eyes and spoke.
“I meant exactly that. I wanted you, my lady. I wanted to be by your side from the beginning. But I was afraid that if I held onto you with unclear feelings, I might hurt you… so I proposed a contract marriage.”
“Wasn’t that the first time we had a proper conversation…?”
Even searching through my childhood memories, there was no moment when I had conversed with Yezar. Before I possessed this body, Julietta might have glimpsed his face at a banquet, but there was no way we could have built a proper relationship.
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.
