The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 144
Marquis Tipian was displeased with the atmosphere that had returned to Maindlant.
He had avoided being imprisoned again by using Adrian as a shield. He had even been given a room like a guest. Yet everyone here—even a single servant—looked at him with contemptuous eyes. How dare they, not knowing their place…
Cold… he muttered alone in a room where no one could hear. Bone-deep cold… No real person would live in a place like this. A cursed, cursed breed…
The tiny room where he had been locked away for half a year had been bitterly cold. Even in spring, his body had shivered involuntarily. The words he had mumbled during that endless solitude, with no one to speak to, had now become a habit.
He no longer believed he would ever feel warmth again. Even basking in the peak of summer sun, his heart remained frozen. But these people here were different.
Everyone except that one person seemed happy.
“K-Khh… Hhh…”
In the silent room, devoid even of a single candle, he seethed with rage. It was unfair. He hated the castle’s cheerful atmosphere—its residents chattering about autumn, about the festival soon to come, reminiscing about last year’s joys. He wanted them to be as miserable as he was.
He wouldn’t have to wait long. Adrian had kindly lent him one of his own subordinates.
Knock knock. Someone rapped at the door. Out of a newly formed habit, the marquis reflexively seized his dagger and barked hoarsely,
“Who’s there…!”
Instead of an answer, he heard the door open immediately. Annoyed and suddenly frightened, the marquis raised his dagger high, ready to hurl it at whoever entered. But when he saw who it was, his eyes widened.
Clatter. The dagger fell onto the stone floor—he had ordered the carpets removed out of fear of assassins. The marquis gasped in relief.
“You—! You startled me.”
In this wretched northern land, the one person the marquis truly trusted—the very one who had helped him escape.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
The male lead being so proud of his wife is honestly adorable, even when he gets jealous.
And the female lead is so elegant and beautiful—I can’t wait to see this scene illustrated
Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
Can’t wait for next chapter
The ML is so considerate of his wife. He treats her with so much care and gentleness, even when she doesn’t say a word—he just understands her. He’s honestly so perfect, I can’t 😭
I really hope the FL can overcome these painful feelings soon. I can’t bear to watch her suffer this much. 💔
