Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 27
Cassis was inspecting the Torpeo ducal territory for the first time in a long while.
Perhaps due to his absence for an entire season, reports had been coming in frequently that nobles were growing increasingly brazen in his lands, bullying villagers and harassing local women.
“They say the Duke took in a commoner mistress—apparently, she’s quite something to look at, both in figure and face.”
“Wow, did you hear that? She’s so desperate to show off her body that she deliberately chooses dresses cut indecently low everywhere she goes!”
A smoky underground gambling den.
Just as the Duke was about to step into the den—the very spot in the village he’d been told was the most problematic—
he halted at the unexpected topic of conversation drifting from within. Leaning silently against the doorway, the Duke tuned intently into their words.
“Of course! Isn’t that precisely what a mistress is for—to claw desperately for a man’s touch? She must fulfill her duty, even if it means stripping herself bare!”
“You, my friend—your filthy mouth hasn’t changed at all. Was that how you seduced the Viscount’s daughter too?”
“Hah! I’ve already had the Viscount’s daughter—do you really think I can’t claim just one commoner mistress?”
“Still, how dare you covet the Duke’s woman?”
They were enjoying their gambling, using as casual amusement the harassment of not only commoner women but even those of lower nobility.
“No matter how lovely a flower is, it grows tiresome if you stare at it too long. Once the Duke discards her, Viscount Nevillem here will gladly take her in.”
“If I save her from ending up back in a brothel, she’ll throw herself naked into your arms. That’s right.”
“Hahahaha! And when that happens, I’ll show you all my sensual figure…”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]

Why is she so stupid? Why doesn’t she run away? She could leave or ask her friend for help, but she foolishly endures his insults.
Disgusting! Why put up with this humiliation? Is this the life she wanted and ran away from?
Wow trashy (the duke) has issues. He’s obviously a sadist. I really hope for her sake she isn’t pregnant.
