The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 37
Of course, there was no answer to Themis’s question. Elodie was unconscious.
A shock so overwhelming it rendered her speechless crashed over Themis.
Even if she tried to convince herself that what she was now realizing couldn’t possibly be true, she couldn’t stop the tide of certainty dragging her under.
With a hollow laugh, Themis swept her gaze across the room.
Things invisible before, lost in her initial panic, now stood out with painful clarity.
“That familiar vial—it’s the antidote.”
Empty and full bottles of the antidote Elodie always brought were neatly sorted.
Nothing else was there. None of the ingredients required to make the antidote.
Only Themis’s poison, the empty vials, and the antidote itself.
Witnessing the scene, every lingering doubt she’d harbored began to unravel.
“It seems your ability is to ‘destroy’ the poison’s toxicity.”
Themis recalled Elodie’s confident words when she’d announced the awakening of her power in the Ferdia family.
“I don’t want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings.”
“So please don’t worry.”
She remembered, too, that anxious look Elodie had worn—fearful her manifestation might threaten Yansi and Carlot.

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.

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 duchess is kind, contrary to appearances, but why did they do that to her? Didn’t anyone know about the servants ignoring her, talking behind her back, and spreading false rumors about her?
