Surviving as the Adopted Daughter of the Genius Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 37
When one corner of the banquet hall grew noisy, I immediately headed that way. Even from afar, I could instantly tell what was happening.
Esmeralda stood there, holding a necklace with a stunned expression. Lady Douglas, her face flushed bright red, looked ready to yank someone’s hair out at any moment.
Anna, hunched tightly to avoid the adults’ stares. Lady Ramira, smiling brightly enough to be infuriating.
“What on earth are they doing?”
The Duchess, who had followed me, began rolling up her sleeves. I hastily stopped her.
If she stepped in, the situation would surely be resolved in no time—after all, she was none other than the mistress of House Istira.
But if I let that happen, I’d just be shirking my duty as the party’s host and hiding behind the Duke’s authority—a thoroughly irresponsible person.
“It’s alright. I’ll handle this.”
“Yes, my lady. Reina will manage it well.”
When even the Duke urged the Duchess to hold back, she gave a brief nod.
“Very well. If you need help, just say the word anytime.”
I offered a faint smile as I watched the Duchess clench her fists tightly.
“Yes. I certainly will.”
Just then, Lady Ramira’s sharp voice rang out.
“Isn’t Lady Reina herself most to blame for inviting commoners to this party in the first place?”
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.
