The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 62
As the hardliners independently pushed forward with the revolution, the Whitneys—who had secretly supported the moderates—fell from power, and the Rose Faction suffered a massive purge.
That incident briefly dampened the hardliners’ momentum, but only for a short while.
As the Rose Faction’s influence grew once again, more voices began speaking out forcefully.
Frequent internal disagreements led the Rose Faction to appoint separate representatives to speak for the moderates and the hardliners.
From then on, all decisions required the agreement of both representatives.
Currently, Augustus represented the hardliners, while Cedric represented the moderates.
Augustus was a man of tragic fate, born the son of a farmer whose land and family had been seized by a noble lord.
Perhaps because of this, his resentment toward the nobility was exceptional, and among the hardliners, he displayed the most extreme tendencies.
It was he who had raided Denver’s security force to steal weapons and attacked small provincial lord’s manors.
Cedric disliked his aggressive tactics, but fearing Augustus might cause even greater trouble if restrained, he allowed them—on the condition that no lives would be lost.
Cedric had always compromised with Augustus in this manner.
But when it came to Jane, he would not yield an inch.
“Listen, Cedric. If she’s not on our side, it’s better to eliminate her. Her betrayal has made things hard for our Rose Faction members. We also need to show others what happens to traitors.”
“Augustus, Jane isn’t a traitor. She was never part of the Rose Faction to begin with.”
“Her father was part of the Rose Faction! That makes her the same!”
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 once gentle and polite youth has transformed into someone she no longer recognizes.

Truly her patience and resilience are quite remarkable.
Yes Norbert, I truly hope Cain pays more attention to Jane.
At this point it might be better if she just confides in him.
