To You, Whom I Shouldn't Love (24 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 62
Time flew swiftly, and the day of the imperial banquet arrived. Riena rose early in the morning and, guided by Amy and the other maids, began her preparations.
She bathed in warm water infused generously with rose oil, received a full-body massage with more oil, and had her hair tended to as well.
Once these initial preparations were complete, Madame La Chapelle arrived late and joined in styling her hair and applying makeup.
As previously decided, she braided her hair into a single plait, applied shimmering pearl powder with elegance, and changed into her dress—finally, everything was ready.
Madame La Chapelle and Amy praised her endlessly, saying how truly beautiful she looked, but not a single word reached Riena’s ears—she was far too nervous.
A short while later, she saw Cassel, his hair neatly slicked back with pomade and impeccably groomed, yet unlike last time, she couldn’t manage any reaction.
She was just as terribly tense herself.
Even during the carriage ride to the imperial palace, Riena couldn’t conceal her anxiety.
When she had first come to the capital with her father, she had attended several parties held by noble families.
But the situation now was entirely different from those occasions.
Firstly, there was the sheer weight conveyed by the words “imperial ball.” It was grander than any ball Riena had ever attended, and news spread quickly in such settings.
Moreover, members of the imperial family would be present. With bad—or rather, good—luck, she might even catch sight of the Emperor himself.
In truth, given the influence of House Winkler and the personal letters sent by the Emperor and Empress, meeting the imperial family was practically inevitable.
Because of this, Riena had been forced to practice formal greetings for the imperial family with Noah’s tutor for the past week—greetings she’d once believed she’d never need.
Secondly, Riena’s position within noble society had changed.
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.
