Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 80
Late at night, in the Duke’s study.
“Shall I tell Her Ladyship once again that you won’t be dining tonight?”
Eric looked at the Duke, who kept tapping the study desk repeatedly, with a mixture of resentment and exasperation in his eyes.
Since returning after the Crown Prince’s wedding, a frosty distance had settled between the Duke and his wife. Those around them had casually assumed it was merely a brief quarrel, yet days had passed and the Duke continued to avoid his wife—
even during their usual shared dinner hour.
Despite Eric’s question, Cassis kept ruthlessly tapping the innocent desk.
“You stubborn mule.”
Frustrated by the Duke’s silence, Eric pressed further.
“How long will you keep avoiding Her Ladyship?”
“I don’t even know myself.”
Only then did the Duke finally respond to Eric’s words. At his answer, Eric let out a derisive snort.
“So you admit you’re avoiding her?”
The Duke let out a small sigh at Eric’s remark.
“Just when did you decide it was acceptable to force through an utterly unreasonable situation, only to now avoid Her Ladyship like this?”
Eric voiced his frustration openly.

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
