The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 37
Joyce frowned as he noticed the dark shadows beneath Neris’s eyes.
“…Did you sleep poorly, Lady Neris?”
“Better than you, Sir Joyce, it seems.”
At her calm retort, Joyce unconsciously touched beneath his own eyes.
Truth be told, he’d known it even before she pointed it out. After a sleepless night, there was no way his eyes could possibly sparkle like a fawn’s.
The previous night had been a nightmare for the entire household. Surely, Earl MacKinnon and his wife, along with their other relatives, had also tossed and turned restlessly.
“I apologize for summoning you so early, but there is a matter I must verify.”
Hearing Joyce’s courteous tone, Neris gave a gentle smile.
Diane was still fast asleep, and knowing that she’d been stirring fitfully, Neris had simply risen without disturbing her and eaten the breakfast Betty served.
Scarcely had she changed her clothes when she was summoned to Joyce’s study.
How precious was Joyce’s rigid formality—never forgetting his manners at any time—compared to Nualan’s unsettling kindness, smiling warmly while contemplating turning someone into a murderer.
“This woman arrived this morning, claiming to speak on behalf of Lady Neris. But what I heard from her was so utterly shocking…”
“‘Heard’ words?”
Neris raised an eyebrow and tilted her head in confusion. Joyce made a sound as though grinding his teeth for a moment before correcting himself.
“What I inferred from what I heard—it’s just too shocking.”
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.

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. 💔
