The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 37
As promised, Aracila took leave from the Mage Tower and came to attend to the Dowager Duchess, who proceeded to treat her like a real maid.
Being ordered to fetch this and that was the cute part.
She was made to clean the room right in front of the Dowager Duchess, ordered to polish the shoes until they shone, and told to personally bring basin water for washing.
She even tossed Aracila a dress with slightly torn lace, demanding she mend it herself.
Though noble ladies were generally expected to possess at least average skill, Aracila, who couldn’t even embroider properly, certainly couldn’t be expected to sew competently.
When Aracila brought back the dress she’d done her utmost to stitch, the Dowager Duchess flew into a rage.
“Are you defying me now?”
“No. I merely did as you instructed. Why are you angry?”
“You’ve turned my dress into a rag!”
Fuming, the Dowager Duchess hurled the dress—whose sleeve was now folded in half thanks to Aracila’s fantastical sewing skills—believing she’d done it deliberately.
Yet Aracila, who’d pricked her fingers with the needle while repairing the dress, felt utterly wronged. She’d genuinely given it her all.
“Go fetch one of your dresses too! I’ll make it exactly the same!”
“Yes, Dowager Duchess.”
Since Aracila cared little for clothes, she quickly brought one of her own dresses, causing the Dowager Duchess’s blood pressure to spike so high she trembled all over.
What she’d wanted was a sorrowful expression—not that bright, cheerful face.
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.
