The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 188
“No, I deliberately stepped away a bit in case my husband wanted to set aside some emergency funds without me knowing.”
“Ha ha! I wish my wife would do that for me.”
“In return, my husband pretends not to notice when I set aside my own emergency funds.”
“Is that so? Well then, do you happen to have any good information? I’ve been rather short on pocket money lately.”
Though he exaggeratedly clicked his tongue, Duke Ganiello managed his house’s finances quite soundly.
Yet the reason she had deliberately created this opportunity to speak with him wasn’t about money at all. Neris gave a secretive smile.
“What could I possibly have that’s so impressive? I’m just doing a little of what everyone else does.”
“But that’s no small thing! Starting so young means you must be exceptionally clever. I hear you even graduated early from the Academy—any noble knows that’s no easy feat.”
Just as expected. The Duke brought up the Academy.
In such roundabout conversations among the highest echelons of nobility, the ability to discern what the other truly wants determines the quality of their rapport. Neris feigned modesty.
“I merely worked hard—that’s all. There were many far better at school than I was. Megara, for instance, was popular and brilliant in our year; she truly enjoyed her school days.”
“Ah! You mean Miss Megara Rikeandros? Come to think of it, you were in the same year.”
“Yes. We took many classes together from the very start—both of us were in the linguistics department. Oh, and I heard she’s been in talks for an engagement with the ducal house.”
“Indeed. She’s a very kind girl.”
The Duke stroked his mustache, clearly pleased with Megara.
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.

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. 💔
Wow, the development of the story was so unexpected! But when you think about it, the reason behind the hatred from the very beginning actually makes perfect sense.
