The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 87
Neris knew who this year’s queen was. She had never personally attended the ceremony herself, but since everyone in her year knew, she couldn’t help but know as well, whether she liked it or not.
That Megara had been crowned queen at every single ball—from the first graduation ball she attended to the one held upon actually graduating.
The events of her past life and what was unfolding before her eyes now kept merging and separating within her blurred vision, then merging again, fracturing Neris’s mind once more.
In that illusion, Diane shifted into a completely different person for a moment, then instantly returned to the familiar Diane she knew.
Neris’s gaze flickered toward Megara.
Colin Ganiello had reserved a table for Megara not far away. Seated there, Megara laughed brightly—exactly as she appeared in Neris’s memories—joking with Colin beside her.
Next to her sat Izette and Valentine, along with several of Megara’s followers, each seated according to their status, all wrapped in an aura of brilliance that seemed eternal.
Even across rebirths, Megara remained unchanged.
Yes—just as Neris herself remained unchanged, despite now sitting at the expensive graduation ball table she’d never dared approach in her previous life, dressed in noble attire fit for royalty, beside a handsome man.
Neris felt foolish. Ever since Megara approached Cledwin earlier, and ever since she recalled that Izette’s status was suitable for Cledwin, her stomach had felt uneasy.
She desperately wanted to drink heavily but barely held back, exerting all the patience she’d cultivated in her past life.
In truth, in her previous life, Neris had never learned to enjoy alcohol moderately or pace herself. She simply couldn’t.
At formal occasions, she never showed weakness, so she drank only the precise amount etiquette demanded. In private, no one ever drank with her, so she’d lose restraint and drink alone.
Once… she’d even gotten drunk and made a scene in front of Abelus, who’d come to her room out of marital obligation.
She didn’t remember the exact words, but it must have been something like, “Your Highness the Crown Princess, unlike Her Highness the Crown Prince’s rightful wife, I’m merely a concubine. If His Highness doesn’t take pity on me and spend the night in my room, where else would I even have to stand?”
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. 💔
