Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 32
Adeline paused while cutting her steak and lifted her head.
The end of the long wooden table was empty. The man who should have been seated there was missing.
Perhaps it was for the best. Even though they sat so far apart, every time he glanced at her, Adeline felt breathless.
Yet seeing his empty seat brought her relief.
She had never realized how peaceful—and even spacious—the dining room felt without Cassis’s presence.
Only now did she truly grasp how heavy his presence had always been.
Adeline placed a piece of steak into her mouth, and the mild, savory aroma of the meat spread across her palate.
Perhaps because she’d been surviving on sandwiches for days, this proper meal went down effortlessly.
As she continued eating, Adeline casually glanced around.
The servants’ attitudes had changed since hearing the rumor that she was pregnant.
Previously, the maids had whispered behind her back, calling her a wasteful mistress.
But now, as if they’d never done so, they treated her with unexpected kindness.
“My Lady Del, please try this tea. It’s said to soothe morning sickness.”
“How about a warm half-bath today? It might calm your nausea.”
They probably feared she might claim the Duchess’s seat at any moment, given the Duke’s evident favor.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.

Poor Adeline! She’s been reincarnated in a novel she hasn’t even read, and she has to survive. As if that weren’t enough, her father is a vile, disgusting man, and her fiancé wants to kill her. And when she escaped, she fell into the hands of a despicable duke.
What? Is she really pregnant? What will happen to her now? Her father won’t let her go.
She is forgetting all the humiliation he has been heaping on her, intentionally humiliating her and demeaning her. He needs to apologize with words. She’s being too easy.
