The Secretary's Power (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 37
“Are you satisfied? I’m asking you, Director.”
Even if every other word before and after were stripped away, it was still perfectly understandable.
A dry swallow clicked down his throat. Though Tae Beom’s words were shorter than usual, this was not the time to dwell on such details.
“What are you talking about? You were quiet just now, and suddenly this?”
“If I grab you by the collar there, that woman will get scared. And if she runs off frightened, there’ll be no way to catch her.”
“…….”
“She already runs away saying no, even when you only show her kindness and gentleness—how could she possibly like seeing you lose your temper and hit someone?”
Tae Beom, holding a rolled-up hand towel, slowly dried his hands and turned around.
He swiftly stepped forward, blocking Young Jun who was rushing out, and looked down at his shoe toes.
“You probably got stepped on while dancing—stepping on people’s feet is that girl’s specialty.”
“Let’s talk outside. Come on, outside. Beom, I’m drunk.”
“Outside? Where exactly are you going? I’ve already lost it.”
His low, quiet voice carried a chilling coldness—not the blazing fury of fire, but something sharp and icy that made one’s insides freeze.
“I’ve given it some thought. Just what did you say to stir up that woman’s heart enough for her to let you grab her waist and hold her hand?”
As Tae Beom’s gaze fell on his hand, Young Jun shoved it into his pocket.

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
As an enchantress, Su Heng possesses captivating eyes and charming beauty, easily manipulating the joys and sorrows of living beings at her fingertips.
But to enchant a god, making him taste the bitterness of love’s separation, long-lasting resentment, unattainable desires, and inability to let go…
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.
The once gentle and polite youth has transformed into someone she no longer recognizes.
