Who Spent the Night with the Tower Master (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 75
Life is a series of choices.
And Riley only realized three days later that she had made a wrong choice in the heat of the moment. But by then, it was already too late to undo what had been done.
It had become a situation where she was deliberately avoiding him.
Riley was too afraid to face him, so she couldn’t visit the Mage Tower or contact him, and Gibnen likewise made no attempt to reach out to or meet Riley.
“…Are you scared of me too?”
What frightened her wasn’t him—it was the realization that her feelings for him had become genuine.
To be precise, she was terrified of falling in love with someone. She feared that the past years, during which she had desperately clung to affection, might repeat themselves.
She had wanted to be loved and had desperately tried to earn that love, but all she received in return was contempt and criticism. Through those years, she had come to understand.
That one-sided love only brings pain. That it only drags you into an endless hell.
“Who would ever love someone like you? Please face reality, Riley. Everyone hates you, everyone despises you! There’s no one who’ll ever love you. If even your own family doesn’t love you, do you really think a complete stranger, with not a drop of shared blood, would? No, you’re simply someone who can’t be loved. People don’t dislike you for no reason. There’s no one in this whole world who’ll ever love you. Who would love someone as pathetic and stupid as you?”
“Don’t bother trying to be loved. It’s not something you can achieve just by trying hard. People who are loved are born that way. There are those who are loved no matter what they do, and others who are hated and mistreated no matter what they do. Which kind do you think you are?”
Claire often said things that chipped away at Riley’s self-esteem. Perhaps it was because she’d heard so many times—so often it felt like calluses had formed on her ears—that she’d never be loved. Thus, whenever emotions unexpectedly surfaced, she grew afraid before even giving them a chance.
Thinking back, she realized she’d never received genuine affection from anyone except her father. She’d never experienced a proper romance, nor had she ever truly learned what love really meant.
Because she’d grown up starved even of shallow affection, and that sense of deprivation still lingered within her, she might even be afraid to admit that she loved someone.
Looking back, as a member of the Eadallin family, she had strived to become part of that family and yearned for their love, yet nothing had changed in the end. They never loved her; only their hatred and resentment grew.
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
So the shadows can break legs and report when reporters are following her but not stop bullying or kidnapping? What nonsense
