Spent the First Night with the Male Lead, Thinking I Was Terminal (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 87
“Have you perhaps given any thought to the investment I proposed?”
After boarding the carriage, Hayden asked Clea with a gentle expression.
Though his face showed no trace of malice, his words concealed intentions far darker than they seemed.
Clea glanced sidelong at the man seated across from her.
“Before that, I’m curious—why would someone who has devoted himself to the Divine have any reason to make an investment like this?”
Clea was genuinely puzzled.
She couldn’t understand why he would go out of his way to invest in the venture she intended to pursue.
At this, Hayden replied, still smiling faintly at the corners of his lips.
“Before I devoted myself to the Divine, I am still merely a man—and as such, I wish to invest in you, my lady.”
To Hayden, the cost was of no concern.
He wasn’t as wealthy as Bawin, but as long as this pretext allowed him to maintain his connection with her, he was content.
Clea wasn’t the only one with questions.
Hayden was equally curious about her—or rather, about the confidence she so clearly displayed.
What, exactly, gave her the assurance to step forward and declare her intent to run a business?
The Clea Odoi he knew was infamous as a villainess, utterly incompetent—someone who relied solely on her family name to overpower others, no matter the task at hand.
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.

It was a sharp question from the servants.
Shouldn’t the servants by know realize they should switch sides or at the very least remain neutral?
“How about you enter alone? The person accompanying you seems entirely unrelated

“I must erase all traces of my past here.”
