Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 262
Isabella let out a strange, choked sound—half laugh, half sob. She murmured,
“I thought I’d never see you again.”
From Isabella’s perspective, this was a desperate plea. Today was her last chance. But from Cesare’s point of view, it was a routine he’d repeated at least double-digit times. He didn’t even need to calculate it consciously—his instincts had already memorized the script.
‘The guilt-trip type.’
While Cesare assessed her with detached calculation, Isabella lifted her head and looked straight at him. Cesare involuntarily let out a soft exclamation.
Indeed, Isabella’s pale blond hair and delicate features were overwhelmingly beautiful—so stunning that even Cesare, who rarely admired others’ appearances as he was usually too busy admiring himself in mirrors, felt momentarily shaken.
“That’s impossible, Isabella.”
Cesare smoothly soothed the beautiful woman before him. Though they had always formally addressed each other, he now unconsciously slipped into informal speech—not even noticing himself that he’d done so.
But Isabella quickly caught this subtle shift. Part of her felt offended; part of her felt relieved, interpreting it as his acknowledgment of the special bond between them.
Cesare coaxed her again in a honeyed voice,
“Yet here we are, meeting once more.”
At his flattery, Isabella, her amethyst eyes brimming with tears, countered,
“But Cesare…”
It was unfair to be the only one maintaining distance. And now he had already dropped formal address. So she swiftly discarded the honorific “Your Grace” and called him by name.
Romantic relationships, by nature, override all hierarchies. In this rigidly stratified, deeply unequal world bound by class and gender discrimination, without even this rare chance for reversal of fortune, women would have surely risen in rebellion from the start.
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.
