After skipping breakfast and hastily getting dressed, I quickly went outside.
Servants were bustling around the corridors, hall, and garden, calling out “Your Highness!” or “Miss April!”
Among them was, of course, Mrs. Milton. She adores April so much that her face looked worried. When our eyes met, she widened her eyes… as if suspecting me again!
No, it’s not my fault that April suddenly disappeared!
‘Cursed villain image, how can I get rid of it?’
If Gloria was in front of me, I wanted to grab her by the collar, shake her, and demand why I lived my life this way.
I sighed deeply and hurried on. Where on earth did April go?
“Does this happen often?”
When I asked the maid following me, she awkwardly nodded her head and answered.
“When Miss April doesn’t want to study or is in a bad mood… And when the anniversary of the lady who gave birth to her approaches, this often happens….”
The person who gave birth to April… was mentioned several times in the original work. She was a rabbitlike anthropomorphic female named Chloe Morto.
She died in front of her trying to save her daughter when April was 4 years old, and that incident left a huge trauma for April.
‘So… that’s why she kept looking like a rabbit? Because she’s psychologically unstable?’
It was a reasonable guess. Anthropomorphs take on the appearance of animals when they are physically weak or psychologically unstable.
‘Poor April….’
She was still just a 12yearold child. Naturally, a part of my heart ached for her.
If I had known that she was looking like a rabbit because she was anxious, I would have treated her better.
‘Where are you, April? You didn’t go somewhere dangerous, did you?’
Like everyone else, I started looking for April. From what I observed, Grayan seemed to have dispatched the knights to search outside the castle.
‘If I can’t find April while searching inside the castle, I’ll have to go outside.’
With the plan to look around every corner of the garden, I rolled up my sleeves and stepped out the front door, only to run straight into Grayan standing on the steps.
“……”
I awkwardly smiled and dodged his gaze. Damn… His gaze alone makes my heart race. That man is too dangerous. The alpha wolf is the most dangerous in the world!
‘Even his voice is unnecessarily good. ……Aaah, I can’t give up my hearing either. I’m going crazy, seriously.’
At this point, I have no choice but to defend myself from the wolf’s temptation with selfhypnosis.
‘I’m not interested in love, I’m single, I prefer novel characters to real men, but that person is a novel character… No, shut up, me.’
Again, again! That man has no influence on me, not in the slightest! Really! I’m not the Gloria from the original!
‘Yes, my steel wall is strong! Let’s go find April quickly!’
Our little rabbit might be trembling somewhere. I have to go and hug her.
I clenched my fist and swiftly brushed past Grayan. I feel like I should shout, “Have a nimble day!” Anyway, I tried to get out quickly, but suddenly, I heard a pleasant baritone from behind me.
“Madam.”
‘Gasp.’
Oh, surprise! I almost made a strange noise without realizing it. …Should I just pretend I didn’t hear and run away? Dealing with that man is too stressful……!
After wavering for a moment, I stretched out one foot, ready to run away. I was planning to sprint away just like that.
But this time, Grayan called me with a clearer voice.
“Madam, please wait a moment.”
“……”
And he added the words ‘please wait a moment’. I couldn’t ignore him now.
Damn… Swallowing tears, I turned around. Grayan, who had come closer without me realizing, reached out towards me.
“There’s something on your head……”
The moment his hand touched my head, I startled without realizing it.
“……There’s a feather stuck.”
“……?”
Grayan shook a feather in front of my eyes. I blinked dumbly, then suddenly came to my senses. No, why is there a feather… where did this come from?
‘I didn’t realize something like this was stuck because I came out in such a hurry this morning. It’s embarrassing…’
I covered my mouth with one hand and coughed lightly. Then, pretending to be nonchalant, I spoke to Grayan.
Following the guidelines:
“Thank you…Please hand me that feather. I’ll dispose of it.”
Grayan gave a small smile, reaching out with his free hand to carefully grasp mine.
His hand was so warm, it took me aback. My heart pounded, and I felt a flush rise to my cheeks.
He turned my hand palmup and laid a white feather atop it. His silvergray eyes stared intently at me.
…An honest and upright gaze, yet also containing an odd wildness that felt dangerous. This contradiction made him all the more appealing.
Grayan’s hand slid away, releasing mine. …Even when letting go of a hand, why does he do it so gently, as if stroking it! It’s confusing!
I swiftly stuffed the cursed feather into my pocket, avoiding Grayan’s gaze. Maintaining eye contact with him was not a good idea.
I replied with composure, not showing any sign of being perturbed.
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…?
