The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 162
People’s reactions were far more dramatic than I had vaguely anticipated.
Many seemed unable to grasp the situation, as if this were something utterly unforeseen.
‘Well, I suppose that’s understandable.’
After all, it was an unbelievable turn of events.
But secrets of birth—alongside affairs and romantic entanglements—have always been among the most marketable narratives!
They quickly began chattering noisily with the person next to them.
While observing their reactions, my eyes met Adenmir’s from a distance; he was staring at me with a similarly startled expression.
Yet, perhaps because I’d just mentioned it moments ago, he didn’t seem nearly as shocked as the others.
Soon enough, a barrage of questions descended upon Dad.
“How did Lady Ferdia—no, Lady Severes—come to be raised as Duke Ferdia’s daughter?”
“Due to personal circumstances, I was unable to care for my child, and Duke Ferdia graciously took her in.”
In that instant, I saw it—the excessive sparkle in people’s eyes.
‘Good grief, what a dopamine-overloaded setup.’
The Severes and Ferdia families were famously at odds, their heads of house known for their mutual animosity—yet Duke Ferdia took in his rival’s daughter?

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.
