The Deposed Empress and Her New Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 87
Meanwhile, Ikar was lounging lazily in his chair, listening to Bain’s report.
“Your Majesty, in addition to bananas, I’ve also brought coconut water and the finest Artbashi honey.”
Just as Bain had said, a large table occupying a corner of the bedroom was laden with various items.
Ikar glanced briefly over the goods and asked,
“What else is there?”
“I heard the Viscount has an interest in the lute, so I brought one.”
Ikar’s gaze shifted to the lute standing against the wall.
It was hard to imagine his brother-in-law—who showed no interest whatsoever in the arts—plucking a lute like a bard.
“How unexpected.”
“Would you like to take a look? It’s one of only twelve crafted annually by a master luthier, and quite rare to find here in Paradium.”
Bain carefully lifted the lute, offering it to Ikar, but Ikar shook his head as if he’d seen enough.
“What have we prepared for the artisan?”
In response to Ikar’s question, Bain began introducing the items one by one.
“This is armor made from dragon scales, and this is a sword forged from orichalcum. And then there’s this…”
Until arriving in the Seiren Marquisate, he’d never even considered winning over Renev’s family with bribes.

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.

I feel like it’s the aides of the male lead who are over powered

How do these aides managed to accomplish near impossible tasks?
