The cold night air permeated the room, and reaching for the sword beside her, April slowly stood up.
Swoosh—gripping the handle of the sword tightly, April swiftly turned around, swinging the sword.
Swish—! The sharp blade reflected a faint light in the moonlight. The person targeted by the sword was none other than…
“…Blesset?”
The indigo eyes, capturing April’s surprised face, traced a thin curve like a crescent moon.
“Hello, April.”
As promised, Blesset came to visit on her birthday, albeit a bit late. Anyway, it wasn’t past midnight yet.
“Happy birthday, April. I have a gift for you, so could you extend your hand?”
April hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand. Blesset’s slightly cool hand enveloped April’s, and soon, the cold sensation of metal was felt on her little finger.
“…?”
April, with her eyes wide open, stared at her own little finger that was pierced. In some crevice, a silver ring adorned with a blue gem naturally found its place.
“It’s a blue diamond. Do you like it?”
The ring had a pattern of intertwined silver rings in the shape of a Mobius strip, with blue diamonds densely embedded between them.
April, who had seen various kinds of gems frequently as the Lady of Solzbay, was seeing such a ring for the first time.
‘Even though I don’t know much, it seems like a very valuable item…’
April looked at Blesset with an expression that didn’t assure her whether she should accept such a gift.
Blesset raised an eyebrow and smiled somewhat oddly.
“It’s a gift for you, April.”
Blesset’s voice, saying so, was so serious that there was no room for thinking it might be a joke.
April fidgeted with the finger adorned with the ring, seeking confirmation one more time.
“Really… Can I accept this?”
“Of course. Why would I come all the way here to give it to someone else?”
Upon Blesset’s words, April opened her eyes wide and exclaimed with a surprised voice.
“I, flew here?”
“…?”
It was just a figure of speech, but due to April taking it literally, Blesset burst into laughter.
Since it was quite unexpected for Blesset to laugh so much, April blinked her eyes with a bewildered expression.
‘He always seemed calm…’
He can even laugh this loudly.
“Here, this is the second gift.”
“There’s a second one…?”
Right before leaving, Blesset handed April a pale blue flower.
Resembling a Campanula, the flower emitted a blue light like a fairy’s dress. Amazement once again filled April’s eyes as she looked at the peculiar flower.
“That flower is called ‘Night Fairy’s Dress.’ It won’t wither for a week even without water. After it withers, you can use it as an herb, so ask an apothecary about it.”
Although it resembled a dress, to actually have the name ‘Night Fairy’s Dress.’
April examined the blue flower with fascination. Blesset seems to know many fascinating things, she thought anew.
“Well, I’ll really go now.”
“Ah…!”
“Sleep well, April. Have sweet dreams.”
With a faint smile, Blesset leaped out of the window. April, taken aback, quickly looked outside, but Blesset was nowhere to be seen.
Closing the window and adjusting the curtains, April placed the flower Blesset gave her in a vase on the bedside table.
Night Fairy’s Dress. The mysterious blue light emitted by the flower, true to its name, had a strangely captivating effect. It felt as if the flower itself was a gift from the person who gave it.
‘…I should sleep now.’
Staring absentmindedly at the flower, April shook her head to clear her thoughts. Blesset always left a deep impression whenever they met. Was it because of the mystical atmosphere of the Azure Dragon Master?
‘Madam seemed wary of Blesset. I don’t know why…’
Taking two handmade hair ties from the large box Gloria gave her, April held them close to her chest as she climbed onto the bed.
Covering herself with a thick blanket, transformed into a rabbit, April affectionately embraced the two hair ties with her front paws.
Still, among the gifts she received today, these two hair ties were her favorite.
Not from anyone else but Gloria, who made them herself.
Closing her eyes while cuddling the hair ties, April whispered to herself, “Tomorrow, I must wake up early and… with Mom…”
“…I think she’s asleep.”
In the pitch-black darkness, the two spirits exchanged words discreetly.
“It might be better to leave only the cake and flowers. We can’t wake a sleeping child.”
“I should have come earlier… to sing a birthday song and blow out the candles, something I should have done when I was younger.”
“I never knew there was such a custom in the Ainsworth royal family.”
“Oh, it’s not an Ainsworth royal family tradition; I just thought of it! Haha…”
Although it was a very quiet sound, the rabbit’s excellent hearing could keenly pick it up.
April tossed and turned in her half-asleep state. The voices she could hear now…
“Okay, let’s leave the cake here…”
“Huh? What’s this flower?”
“…Lady and Lord!”
Suddenly awakened, April opened her eyes wide. As soon as she sat up, her blurry mind cleared up instantly.
April shouted towards the two people examining the blue flower.
“Squeak!”
Startled, the two turned their heads, and April, with round eyes, blinked before jumping up from her place.
“April?! Are you awake—”
“Kyaaah!”
The skillfully leaping little rabbit landed perfectly in Gloria’s arms.
The fluffy rabbit rubbed its soft cheeks against the gentle fabric of Gloria’s clothing and then looked up at Gloria.
Soon, Gloria, wearing a somewhat dumbfounded smile, heard April’s joyful voice. The warm gaze that looked at her lovingly felt good.
“Wha-kyaaah!”
The ticklish and fuzzy emotions spread through April’s heart like a warm spring breeze.
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…?
