Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 64
After the Empress’s tea party, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
It was the morning of the day of the Duke and Duchess’s welcome reception.
The autumn weather, now fully settled, began to grow steadily colder.
On the day of the reception, an unusually chilly wind blew.
Perhaps due to the sudden drop in temperature, the Empress chose the Central Greenhouse Garden as the venue.
The Central Greenhouse Garden was a place maintained by successive Empresses, an extravagant expense sustained to keep the temperature warm year-round.
No one could enter this garden, filled with rare plants unseen in the Solatarius Empire, without the Empress’s permission.
The invited nobles, thrilled at being granted access to such an uncommon place, displayed their finest attire—light gowns and dresses, draped with cloaks or shawls.
All except one.
Shortly after all the invited nobles had gathered, the Empress entered the Central Greenhouse Garden.
“I am truly delighted that you have come on such short notice.”
The Empress cast her gaze toward the Duke and Duchess, and naturally, Adeline and Cassis stepped forward to stand beside her.
“I have invited you here to celebrate the Duke’s family, whose steadfast support upholds the Empire, and to welcome the Duchess who strengthens its core.”
As the nobles offered their congratulations and admiration toward the Duke and Duchess, the Empress raised her hand to signal the surroundings.
Her gaze remained fixed on the steward guarding the greenhouse garden’s entrance.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”

As was customary at celebratory banquets, the attending men began slipping away
How brazen of her—she wanted to be in a higher position, and now she’s shifting the blame for everything that happened onto poor Adeline.
At the mention of her attire, Larie’s expression turned icy—but only briefly. Sh
She deserves it; this is the result of the greed that blinded her, as she sought to harm Adeline.
It all felt as though it had happened only because she—meant to die as the Crown
Has she forgotten that the Duke would be long dead if she hadn’t saved him at the villa?

How shameless of her—can’t she see that he is avoiding her and is married?
It wouldn’t surprise me if the crown prince stabs the empress some day.
Wow, I thought these two had made progress. I’m a bit surprised by the Duke’s reaction but he has been ill and chronic illness can affect your thought process.
