This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 87
Emperor Hart left the Empress Dowager’s palace and began walking with a wider stride. Soon, his eyes caught sight of Ariel, her maidservant, and two knight escorts. Although he had been given instructions by his grandmother, it was something she would have to learn anyway—and he was somewhat curious, too.
“Let’s have a private cup of tea for a moment.”
Since there was no valid reason to refuse the Emperor’s request, Ariel followed him despite her reluctance. He led her to his personal study.
“Wow…”
Unconsciously captivated by the sheer number of books, Ariel let out a soft exclamation. Emperor Hart raised his eyebrows—he’d rarely seen a woman genuinely delighted by books.
“You may look around while we wait for the tea to be served.”
“Then I won’t decline, Your Majesty.”
After bowing politely, Ariel stepped back and began browsing the bookshelves. It wasn’t just the books that drew her attention—it was also a chance to minimize the time alone with Emperor Hart. As she searched for volumes on demons and dragons, one book in particular caught her eye.
Dragon’s Heart.
Just as she took it and began to read, Emperor Hart approached her.
“You seem quite interested in dragons, don’t you? If you’d like to read it, take it with you and return it next time. Now, let’s go have our tea.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
On the table sat tea and light refreshments. The study was empty except for the two of them—no attendants, no maids.
“What did you wish to speak with me about?”
“Kaius left his mansion, didn’t he? Do you happen to know what business he’s attending to?”
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.
