The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 237
The next day, Somnia—peaceful until then—was thrown into chaos by a single news article.
[Allegations surface that Marquis Barish embezzled funds meant for the Hope Bridge construction project…]
It was an exposé on the corruption of Marquis Barish’s household—the family of Empress Salvatrice.
The Marquis, who had been placed in charge of the project, was suspected of siphoning off a portion of the funds allocated by the Imperial Household for the construction of the Hope Bridge.
In truth, it wasn’t merely suspicion: the evidence printed in the article made the corruption an obvious fact.
And of all projects, the Hope Bridge was intended to reconnect Somnia with nearby smaller towns severed by disaster, making it a matter of great public interest across the Empire.
It truly was a bridge of “hope.”
Naturally, the Empire’s citizens were furious that funds for such a meaningful bridge had been stolen mid-stream—their outrage reached the heavens.
An enraged mob descended upon the Barish Marquisate.
The aged Marquis Barish summoned a family council, dragging his frail body forward.
“W-who on earth published this—this kind of article?!”
Slam!
Marquis Barish snatched up the newspaper with his wrinkled hand and hurled it onto the table.
Already, multiple newspapers had released identical reports.
“We’re already moving to crush the original publisher. We should have the informant soon—please be patient, Lord.”
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.
