Jerin gave a pleased smile. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said, “First, are you going to take a bath? You must be tired, but I’ll quickly prepare hot water for you.”

During the journey, the most inconvenient thing about staying overnight was bathing.

Although I felt like falling asleep as soon as my head hit the bed, at this moment, the desire to clean myself was stronger than the drowsiness.

“You’re the only one who understands my feelings.”

In response to my words, Jerin laughed with her eyes narrowed and hurriedly went into the bathroom to fill the bathtub with water.

As the hot water filled the bathroom, steam filled the air.

Even though I had been inside the carriage all the time, my dress was still wet from the movement, so with Jerin’s help, I changed into a comfortable nightgown.

“Well, then I’ll assist you with the bath…”

“What are you talking about? You’ve done enough. But, if you’re uncomfortable bathing alone with your injured ankle, let me help you.”

“Oh, no need for such words. You’ve done this much, it’s sufficient.”

“But, Miss, considering your injured ankle, it might be inconvenient for you to bathe alone.”

“Oh, come on. Just go rest. Pushing yourself too hard will give you a cold.”

“Still…”

Knowing Jerin’s intentions, I couldn’t accept it even more.
The time was already too late, and Jerin must have been tired from coming all the way here. I pushed her out, allowing her to rest.

As Jerin, unable to resist my insistence, went out worriedly, she said, “I noticed earlier that the bathroom floor was slippery, so you should be careful.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not a child.”

I smiled wryly, forcibly sending the hesitant Jerin out of the room and closing the door.

Although my ankle was injured, I could still bathe alone.

Slowly, I removed my nightgown and submerged myself in the bathtub filled with hot water. It felt like all the fatigue in my body was being relieved.

Lying in the bathtub with my eyes closed, savoring the comfortable feeling, was when it happened.

Knock-knock─

Faint, but I heard someone knocking on the door.

‘Who could it be at this hour?’

I first thought it might be Jerin again. Originally, I would have stationed a maid in front of the door, but today, I sent them all to rest, so I had to move myself.

Trying not to put too much pressure on my injured ankle, I got out of the bathtub.

I had wiped off most of the water, put on my nightgown, and was slowly leaving the bathroom when it happened.

Slip─

My foot slipped on the wet tiles.

“Oops!”

In an instant, losing my balance, I tried to regain stability by flailing in mid-air, but eventually, I fell on my buttocks.

An involuntary groan escaped my lips.

Already hurting my ankle, falling again made my entire lower body ache.

That’s when it happened.

With a clatter, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and someone came in.

Startled, I looked up, and there stood Ascan, drenched in rain. He quickly looked around and asked me.

“What happened?”

“No, I slipped because it was slippery.”

It seemed he came in out of concern after hearing my scream.

Only then did Ascan, wearing a thin nightgown, look at me, who had fallen on the floor. For a moment, his eyes sank.

“What happened?”

Even with my question, Ascan remained silent. His eyes were fixed on me, wearing a thin nightgown, and nothing else.

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.
