Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 99
The imperial palace was in the midst of fittings for the coronation ceremony attire.
“What about these cufflinks, Your Highness?”
An array of brilliantly colored cufflinks spread out before him.
Yet nothing, no matter how splendid, caught Cassis’s eye.
Because of the commotion the previous night, Adeline’s image kept flashing before Cassis’s eyes.
Her gaze, wavering as if lost without direction.
Even until the moment Cassis escorted her back to her chamber and stepped out, Adeline had looked as though her spirit had drifted far away.
How shocked he’d been upon visiting the Empress’s quarters only to learn she wasn’t there.
It felt as though she might vanish before his eyes once more.
Late that night, when she finally returned to the Empress’s quarters, Cassis had impulsively pulled her into a tight embrace.
Otherwise, it seemed she might drift away forever.
Her stained dress and disheveled hair dampened with cold sweat—
They kept overlapping in his mind with the nightmare of that day long ago, when she’d left the ducal mansion amid pouring rain.
Cassis genuinely regretted it now.
He’d resolved to bury everything by simply dismissing the marquis, yet that resolve now felt hollow as he continued to cause her distress.
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.

Sometimes time is truly the only cure. It took Cassis time. I cannot imagine the immense guilt she feels knowing everything.
