“Wow, are you angry now? But it’s the truth. You were abandoned not long after giving birth to Se-gyeong. They say daughters resemble their mothers. Maybe Se-gyeong is like that too.”
“Oyeori, don’t…”
Se-gyeong was about to return the same words but closed her mouth.
Oyeori’s mother passed away when she was young. No matter how angry she was, she had no intention of blaming that woman even in her thoughts.
“Why stop talking?”
“I’m not like you, Oyeori. I’m not someone who mindlessly pours out whatever comes to mind.”
Talking more with someone like her would only make me feel uncomfortable.
Ignoring her, Se-gyeong tried to pass by. However, Oyeori didn’t let her go so easily.
“Tell me. What were you trying to say to me?”
“Let go of this hand. Why are you doing this…”
Oyeori’s hand tightly grabbed Se-gyeong’s arm. Se-gyeong winced at the pain crushing her wrist.
Why is her grip so strong, as if she’s been working out?
The back of her hand, pale from the pressure, was turning white. Se-gyeong tried to twist her wrist to pull her hand out of hers.
But Oyeori’s hand, clinging like a vise, showed no sign of letting go.
“I’ll let you go if you tell me. So go ahead and say what you were going to say earlier.”
“If you do this, Taeho doesn’t care about you. It seems like you’re stuck in your own delusions, thinking he was a bit friendly when you were young. Just stop it…”
“Ha, delusions? Do you really think that way?”
Oyeori’s dilated pupils flashed with madness. Unintentionally, Se-gyeong’s legs trembled, recalling that eerie look she saw in the bathroom.
“Ms. Yoon Se-gyeong knows nothing, so she can say that.”
Oyeori yanked Se-gyeong’s arm. The body, unexpectedly losing balance, swayed weakly. Oyeori pulled Se-gyeong’s face close and pressed her red lips against hers.
“Taeho Oppa owes me a great debt. It’s something that can’t be repaid in a lifetime.”
“What is this… Rather, let go of this! Manager Song! Jeehoon! Someone, please…!”
The arm caught by Oyeori hurt so much that it was on the verge of trembling. No matter how much she pulled her body back and squeezed all her strength, she couldn’t escape from her grip.
…”
As Se-gyeong struggled, a coldness flickered in Oyeori’s eyes.
Her gaze turned behind Se-gyeong. As the transparent water inside the grass swayed in the wind, Oyeori’s lips curled up sharply as she looked down at Se-gyeong.
“Don’t struggle too much. I’ll let you go the way Yoon Se-gyeong wants.”
…”
“Instead, don’t resent me too much.”
When Oyeori, who was smiling brightly, released her hand, Se-gyeong’s body swayed backward.
“Ah…!”
Even her voice didn’t come out in the dizziness.
Although she tried to regain her balance, all Se-gyeong could see in her eyes was Oyeori’s face, smiling against the backdrop of the intensely blue sky.
Splash!
“Kyaah! Se-gyeong!”
Someone’s scream cut through the air. The water, roiled by the abrupt turmoil, swallowed Se-gyeong with violent bubbles.
“Hey! Someone, please go in and save Se-gyeong first!”
As Se-gyeong’s body, floundering with two arms flailing, sank underwater, Manager Moon, who had rushed out in response to the sudden commotion, grasped the situation and shouted.
As his words were heard, someone jumped into the pool.
In an instant, a man who swam to where Se-gyeong was lifted her body.
…”
Oyeori narrowed her eyes as she looked at the man who saved Se-gyeong.
Drenched Taeho was holding Se-gyeong in his arms.
“Oh my goodness! CEO. Over there. There are wide stairs. Here! Please help them come up!”
Manager Song, along with other staff holding towels, waited for the two to come out of the water.
“What on earth is happening? Is Se-gyeong okay?”
Taking the towel, Manager Song wrapped a large towel around Se-gyeong’s body like a blanket. Se-gyeong, holding her abdomen, groaned with pain.
“Ugh…”
Sensing that Se-gyeong was not in good condition, Manager Song immediately called 911. Taeho, still unable to open his eyes, glanced at Se-gyeong’s face, who was huddled in his arms.
“Yoon Se-gyeong. Yoon Se-gyeong, look at me.”
Taeho slightly tapped Se-gyeong’s cheek, who couldn’t gather her senses. Struggling to open her eyes, Se-gyeong looked up at Taeho.
“Taeho, sir…”
Calling him, Se-gyeong hugged her abdomen again.
Someone seemed to be squeezing her stomach.
She was told not to get hurt, not to bleed…
But no matter how tightly she hugged her abdomen, the pain showed no sign of subsiding.
“Taeho, sir… Huh. My stomach…”
In the end, Se-gyeong, unable to endure it, squeezed out her voice with great difficulty. At that moment, someone made a gasp and gestured at Se-gyeong.
“Ah… What should we do? There’s blood there…”
Taeho’s gaze turned to Se-gyeong’s legs.
The damp feeling was simply thought to be because of the water.
But red blood was flowing down Se-gyeong’s calf.
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.
