Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 18
The figure who emerged from the darkness was all too familiar.
Duke Torpeo. Unlike his usual self, his eyes were chillingly cold.
In one swift motion, he approached and shoved away Heiro’s hand gripping her—so fast there was no time to react.
Adeline blinked in confusion, unable to make sense of the situation.
‘Weren’t you supposed to be asleep?’
She had clearly checked that he was sleeping before leaving.
“M-Mel… why are you here?”
Adeline’s trembling voice was thick with bewilderment.
Ignoring her question entirely, the Duke stood confrontationally against Heiro, his gaze brimming with wary tension.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
The Duke’s icy voice dispersed chillingly through the air.
Heiro’s initially flustered eyes darkened deeply, as if he had finally understood the situation.
“Del.”
Heiro addressed Adeline gently, speaking toward her behind the Duke’s back.
“The person you mentioned living with—is he the D…?”

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!

Artemtisforaday Chapter 19So the Duke is playing/testing her… I wonder how she’ll handle this situation.
Miioo Chapter 19Is he testing her, or does he genuinely love her? He’s testing her.
Artemtisforaday Chapter 20I can already tell this is going to turn into some long, drawn out, misunderstanding drama where even if she tells him the truth he’s not going to believe her… I just hope she doesn’t get taken back to her house or to the crown prince because of his sense of betrayal!

Who said the Duke is the hero? He’s a filthy, despicable bastard. How could he do that to her and abandon her? Didn’t she mean anything to him? The people I hate most are the scoundrels who deceive girls and leave them. Poor Adeline, it’s a truly awful novel.

His tender voice sent an involuntary shiver down Adeline’s spine. Still pretendi
Isn’t this a pretty bad lie for her to go with? What if the seal is found in the luggage? This girl appears to be losing intelligence the longer the story goes
- Aelthia Chapter 24 — Paragraph 105
“A commoner woman, you say? To have saved the empire’s sole duke and yet be made
Wow such harsh punishment for being kind and saving a life. I really don’t pity Adeline. What twisted her karma so badly that she has to deal with the messes that come her way?
