The Duke Only Needs My Child (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 6
At the child’s vehement refusal, not only Herdin but also Blair and Ruth stared in astonishment.
Then, Asiel pushed Herdin into the inner part of the office with his tiny body. Herdin reluctantly allowed himself to be dragged along.
“Asiel, why are you like this?”
“Ruth hurts! Don’t talk to Dad.”
Asiel’s eyes brimmed with tears, as if he might burst into crying at any moment.
Herdin looked at the boy with considerable bewilderment, analyzing the situation to decipher his meaning.
Asiel was clearly trying his best to keep Ruth and himself far apart. Judging by his words and actions, Asiel seemed to believe that he was hurting Ruth.
“Why does Ruth hurt?”
“Dad said so.”
“Dad didn’t hurt Ruth.”
“Don’t talk!”
Despite Herdin’s protest, Asiel remained resolute. His expression closely resembled that of his mother when she disciplined him for doing something a child shouldn’t.
Herdin, exasperated, let out a dry chuckle, then met Blair’s amused gaze and surrendered with a smile.
“So you’re trying to protect me from His Grace? How touching—”
“Don’t talk, Ruth!”

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.

Alright, he’s cute, but I feel disappointed. I mean, why don’t you tell us what will happen to him if he grows up alone?! It would definitely be something great! But no, they should have brought the child back as well (even though he’s very cute and I’m happy for them).

Once again, I’m crying… Asiel, I wish you happiness with your parents who love you very much, especially your dad, who was reckless and foolish at first, but he loves you. We readers know it. 😭🫂❤️🩹
