At the End of Ruin, There You Are (56 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 85
The current Emperor of the Cranian Empire was a greedy man. He already had much, yet once he had something, he wanted even more. And once he had more, he wished that only he possessed everything. It had always been that way.
Thus, he absolutely refused to hand over Ostein—a strategically located, naturally blessed, and thriving commercial city—to Kerujan, even if he were to die soon.
Moreover, Ostein even housed the Lanpalar Palace, which served as a summer retreat for the imperial family; this made it utterly unthinkable to relinquish it.
The Kingdom of Kerujan, which had set its sights on Caella de Chasser, the next Duchess of Ostein, was deeply disappointed—but still recognized that marrying the king’s daughter to the Crown Prince was an opportunity they could not afford to miss.
At the heart of every alliance lay a marriage alliance. Once bloodlines began to intertwine, betrayal became difficult.
After all, the rulers themselves would share that very blood. Thus, the King of Kerujan did not hesitate to seize the chance to become the future maternal grandfather of the Emperor of Cranis.
Of course, that did not mean the so-called pre-negotiations proceeded without friction.
Lawyers, diplomats, and even soldiers from both nations threw themselves into all-night battles over every clause of the new marriage treaty. What mattered most was not the wishes of the bride and groom, but the Emperor’s dignity and the King’s advantage.
Consequently, the weaknesses of the soon-to-be bride and groom surfaced openly. It came to light that the Crown Prince was an acknowledged illegitimate child, though not the son of a concubine. Kerujan, for its part, even switched the princess it intended to send twice.
“You’ve worked hard.”
Because these negotiations and agreements took longer than anticipated, the engagement had to be postponed from its originally planned spring date into summer.
Summarizing the lengthy outcomes of these negotiations was no easy task; the ministers spent over two hours reporting to the Emperor. The Ministers of Justice and Foreign Affairs bowed their heads, wiping sweat from their brows.
“We deeply apologize, Your Majesty.”
Their apology concerned the Emperor’s disrupted plan—after marrying off Grand Duke Lusenford and Princess Ostein, he had intended to immediately settle the Crown Prince’s engagement as well.
Although these ministers had concluded an arduous negotiation by bolstering the empire’s prestige and making concessions befitting a major power, they still lowered their heads in deference.
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…?
