The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 137
An old man with a deeply bent waist crossed the gate, leaning on a cane. She crossed the garden—so small it was embarrassing to even call it that.
With every step, her body swayed like bamboo in the wind.
The gate creaked open, and a worried voice spilled out.
“Grandma Yona, what brings you all the way here? You should’ve just called for me!”
“Read this for me.”
Without further ado, the old woman thrust forward a letter.
It was a small island, with no regular ferry service to the mainland; all the young people had left for cities on the mainland to earn money, leaving only the elderly with worn-out bodies behind.
Those who once read the sea with uncanny precision had once commanded awe before the blue waves, yet always looked pitiful before written words.
Because no one had ever properly learned to read.
Thus, in the village, anyone who could read was highly respected.
Even if one couldn’t process official documents, merely knowing how to read allowed them to live comfortably in this village.
But that one person had left the island months ago. Now, not a single soul remained in the village who could read.
And so problems erupted everywhere.
They incurred late fees because they didn’t know tax deadlines; they received news of their children’s accidents too late to offer timely help; missing out on government aid had become commonplace.
Then, a lovely young city girl appeared, carrying a small bag. She could read, and she was kind.
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

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.
