“I’ll treat you the best! I can give you luxuries beyond your wildest imaginations. I can maximize your value. I have the ability to do that.”
What’s he talking about? Treat me the best? How could someone like me deserve that?
She thought he was mocking her again.
It was just today that she had been conned by Hades and lost 15 gold bars. There was no way she could easily believe him.
‘Even the naïve old me would have doubted such a farfetched story.’
With a silent smirk, Latifa, determined not to be deceived again, asked,
“Why?”
Perhaps due to the ravine, the red sunset disappeared quickly, and darkness began to set in. In the deepening violet twilight, the hue of her hair changed again.
Hades gently touched the strands of her hair that flowed long and swayed in the wind. He let her soft locks slip through his fingers.
The ticklish sensation wasn’t unpleasant, so she remained still.
As the sun fully set and darkness engulfed them, his deep voice, reminiscent of the dark, resonated softly in her ear.
“Latifa Glaesia. Because I need you.”
Startled, she shivered slightly at his words. But it wasn’t a tremble of fear. An unfamiliar sensation enveloped her.
Before she could recognize the source of this feeling, Hades extended his hand.
“Join me, let’s go to the desert.”
The sun had completely set, and the darkness was so deep that she couldn’t discern the expression on Hades’s face.
[Star Icon][Star Icon] Early in the morning, Latifa Glaesia tidied up the makeshift shelter one last time and checked her luggage to make sure nothing was missing. Beside her, Brenda, having regained her senses, stared at Latifa with a sheepish expression.“I’m really sorry I hit you. I was angry then. That wasn’t my true intention.”
Although the spot where she had been scratched by Brenda still hurt, Latifa couldn’t bring herself to resent her.
Brenda was the only imperial she knew now, and since the usually prideful Brenda had unusually apologized first, Latifa couldn’t be too mad at her.
‘Of course, she probably apologized because she was scared of General Hades!’
“……”
“Huh? Please forgive me, Lati. Also, do tell the general that we’ve made up.”
Even though they had shared hardships during their escape…
Seeing Latifa holding a slight grudge and not saying anything, Brenda, noticing this, handed her a small box from her belongings.
“This, it’s yours, right? I’m returning it.”
“Oh, that is!”
Latifa quickly took it with a bright expression. It was the jewelry box her mother had passed down to her.
Inside the jewelry box engraved with a blue shield symbol, there was a small golden key, the mark of a princess.
“Thank you so much for returning it!”
“What is it? Compared to the gold bracelet you got from the general, these old things are nothing.”
“It may be old, but it’s a treasured memento from my mother.”
Only then did Latifa break her stiff face and smiled. Then Brenda cautiously asked,
“Are you really going to reject the general’s proposal? He said to come with him to the desert.”
“Why would I accept an offer without knowing what it’s about? Of course, I’d decline.”
“But he said he’d treat you very well. Don’t you understand what that means?”
“It’s suspicious.”
“Didn’t I tell you before? The general has ulterior motives. He’s trying to take you as his mistress, what else? Lati, this is your last chance. If we go to the desert, we can live comfortably.”
Brenda, who had been downcast, suddenly perked up and began persuading her again. However, Latifa, who neatly folded her robes and placed them on the bed, cut her off clearly.
“Brenda, I’m going to the Roan Kingdom. What about you?”
“Lati, let’s go to the desert.”
“That man almost killed you yesterday! And you still want to cling to him?”
“……”
“Do you want to live as the lover of an enemy general?”
“You’re too young to understand how good that position is. It’s better than struggling.”
Not at all.
Latifa knew all too well the life of a mistress, a consort. Her mother had been confined in a small palace her entire life, receiving all sorts of ridicule and contempt, just because she caught the emperor’s eye once.
While despising the emperor, she had to love him and yearned to get his attention and love. Latifa, who had grown up seeing this firsthand, knew how miserable that life was.
And now she was being told to go to the Grand Bazaar? It was a completely different environment from what she had lived in.
“Think about it. All kinds of jewels and beautiful silks. You’ll also get many maids, right? And although the general might seem intimidating, if you look closely, he’s handsome, isn’t he? He also has a good physique.”
Brenda truly was insatiable, just as Hades had said.
She had already received two gold bracelets, so why was she so restless that she couldn’t get more?
“I don’t want to discuss this anymore. Anyway, I’m going to the Roan Kingdom, so Brenda, you should decide where you’re going.”
For once, Latifa was visibly upset.
“You’re throwing away your good fortune.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
