To My Beloved, I Present My Exquisite Nightmare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 137
The 2nd Branch, Habashuka, where Olga Muuge served as director, was located in the eastern part of the Searrow Kingdom.
From the Solarus River—the longest and widest river in the kingdom—a tributary called the Kizel River extended eastward. These two waterways flowed broadly toward the sea until they pooled in a sunken basin below, forming a lake.
Ancient people of Searrow would carve the names of those they wished to forget—such as deceased family members, lovers, or vanished friends—onto small wooden chips and cast them into this lake, which is why it became known as the “Lake of the Lost.”
“I heard that the place where mages reside is near this lake.”
Eustar, who had just told Laila about the “Lake of the Lost,” added an explanation.
“In ancient times, mages lived freely throughout the kingdom, and only a few stayed in what we now call the ‘City of Mages’—the designated mage residential district. But at a certain point… everyone except the royal court’s appointed mages gathered into the city.”
“Why did that happen?”
Eustar, wearing a bitter smile, lightly rubbed his chin with his fingertips.
“I once mentioned that Olga was the last officially active court mage, right?”
Laila nodded. She’d briefly heard that story when they’d gone to the Kyron Branch to eliminate the monster that had been kidnapping children.
“Is this related to Miss Olga?”
Eustar shook his head.
“No, it has nothing to do with Olga. Mages gathered into their own city because the kingdom’s laws kept being revised to disadvantage them. They’re proud and unaccustomed to compromising with others—even those who’d lived among non-mages for a long time felt the same way. In the City of Mages, there are elders—leaders overseeing various fields—who summoned mages from all across Searrow and then concealed their city from the eyes of non-mages.”
Laila, deep in thought, spoke.
“Was it a kind of protest, then? Or perhaps…?”
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.
