Suddenly I spoke, and Emperor Eteria turned around in surprise. Then, fearing the kittens might get hurt, he made a comical jump backward.
Bang!
Emperor Eteria, jumping hard to prevent the kittens from getting hurt, fell neatly onto the ground.
“Are, are you alright?”
The frightened kittens hurriedly ran away without even finishing their milk. I looked at the fallen Emperor Eteria with a dumbfounded expression.
“I’m, I’m fine.”
Emperor Eteria stood up, awkwardly rubbing his neck, then dusted off his dirtcovered clothes.
‘Is he a good person or a bad person?’
No, let me correct myself. He’s strange and suspicious. I squinted at Emperor Eteria and said softly.
“The kittens have their mother nearby.”
“…Huh?”
“Don’t carelessly give them milk; if they become accustomed to human hands, the mother might abandon them. You shouldn’t touch them indiscriminately.”
I pointed to the milk bowl Emperor Eteria had set down. He looked at his bowl, exposing his teeth and laughing.
“I almost made a big mistake.”
Why does the phrase ‘almost made a big mistake’ sound so severe?
“I saw you giving milk to the cats here yesterday too.”
“Did you?”
Emperor Eteria laughed boisterously. My shoulders shuddered involuntarily from his loud laughter.
A scary laugh, followed by an unexpected reply.
“My wife likes cute animals.”
I thought the Empress was neglected since coming to the empire, and that they were not on good terms. Especially after hearing the maids talking about finding a successor…
Was I wrong?
“It’s hard to see cute cats like these in the Eteria Empire. I wanted to introduce them to my wife once we became friends, so I ended up giving them milk.”
“…I thought you had a fight with the Empress since she didn’t come to the party yesterday.”
As I spoke indirectly, Emperor Eteria muttered in a shadowed face, low.
“Feeling unwell from the long journey.”
Ah, so it wasn’t that I was left alone, but that I had attended the welcome party on my own.
I awkwardly scratched the tip of my nose and looked away.
I thought he was a scary and strange person, but was it all a misunderstanding?
“There’s something I want to ask now that we’re alone.”
The Emperor of Eteria suddenly turned around, his face determined and flashing menacingly as if he were about to kill someone.
“I mentioned it yesterday, but I need the Empress’s help to fully enjoy the party.”
“……You mean you need a successor?”
I asked directly without beating around the bush, and the Emperor of Eteria tilted his head as if to say, what are you talking about?
“If the Empress, who is called the goddess of fortune on the continent, becomes my wife’s friend, I think my wife can shake off her illness and rise……”
“……Yes? A friend?”
“If I have my wife, I can fully enjoy the party.”
“Gulp…….”
“I thought it would be a nuisance to ask in front of others, so I tried to ask while dancing yesterday…….”
The Emperor of Eteria and I looked at each other and slowly blinked our eyes.
There seemed to be a big misunderstanding between us.
Then, from afar, Phoebe, who had been rolling her feet, closed her eyes tightly, ran over, and clung to my arm.
“You, you, you can’t send the Empress to another empire!!”
……Hey, let go. That’s not it.
Two kittens that had run far away were washing their faces with a meow, as if laughing at us.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
