The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 62
“We really ought to hurry back to the Imperial Palace, shouldn’t we? We need to find out exactly which riffraff have slithered in, so we can crack down on them immediately! Then we’ll train our people to be ready—prepared to throw their lives down for Her Imperial Majesty in case of emergency.”
Sir Chedep spoke deliberately and with exaggerated emphasis.
He was frightened by the unnervingly cold silence from Derek.
Yet Derek offered no reply at all.
Embarrassed, Chedep quickly shut his mouth.
‘What on earth should I do now?’
Truthfully, he’d already sensed something was off today.
In the past, the moment their duty ended, Derek would have rushed straight back to Her Imperial Majesty without delay.
But today, Derek hadn’t done that.
Instead, he’d granted the knights half a day off, citing their hard work as the reason.
‘And then he dragged me out for drinks….’
Derek was never an easy person to approach.
The squad members all found their vice-captain intimidating—and Chedep usually served as the mediator among them.
So when Derek had suggested going to a tavern today, Chedep had inwardly nodded in approval.
After all, getting pleasantly drunk and opening up honestly would strengthen their bonds and foster mutual understanding—what could be better than that?
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.
