The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 287
Father was an inadequate man.
What was Father trying to prove with his infidelity?
Mother’s love? That he wasn’t chosen by Mother merely as Emperor?
That even after going this far, Empress Maria still loved him and remained his devoted wife?
Was it really true?
Even Father’s infidelity meant nothing to Mother. Who truly was the one bound?
It was Father who, after his affairs, anxiously watched his wife’s reaction and thirsted for proof of her unchanged love.
Whenever Father caused another outrageous scene and Mother briefly pretended to care, soothing him, the foolish and authoritarian Father seemed satisfied with just that.
Mother, beautiful and wise, was far too good for Father.
Everyone knew it.
Even young Kyle sensed the world’s thinly veiled cynicism disguised as reverence toward the Emperor, and the respect for Mother that came mingled with fear.
Mother covered up Father’s shortcomings, bore the consequences of his blunders, and led the people in place of the Emperor—earning their admiration.
She loved her son Kyle beyond measure and raised him to become a good king.
All her ruthlessness and coldness were reserved solely for Kyle’s sake, and for Kyle alone, she always accepted one-sided losses against her husband. Kyle had grown wise enough to understand this.
He respected and loved such a mother.
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.
