After a moment of silence, Duke Bellion pulled the cord beside the bed. Before long, the door opened.
“Yes. Did you call?”
A man with green hair tied tightly in a ponytail walked in leisurely, looking down at Delina and asked.
“……Who are you?”
“An assassin.”
“What?”
“……No, not an assassin.”
The greenhaired man looked even more perplexed at the word “assassin.”
“Oh, you’re not sure if she’s an assassin, so you’re imprisoning her alive?”
The content was chilling, contrary to the lively voice. Delina exclaimed in surprise.
“No! I really am not an assassin; I came to ask for sponsorship!”
At that, the man looked at the entrance behind her.
“You came through that entrance?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm. An entrance that can only be opened with blood…… and you knew about it?”
The man blinked in surprise. But no one was more astonished than Delina.
It could be opened with blood!
The Duke’s secrets seemed not to have been completely unraveled despite the passage of time. But Delina tried her best not to show that she hadn’t known and looked at the two men.
“Yes. I know various other secrets as well. So you won’t regret keeping me around.”
“Why should I.”
But Duke Bellion was still annoyed.
“Just kill her and keep her mouth shut.”
“No, no, no!”
At that moment, truly alarmed by Duke Bellion’s step towards her, Delina scrambled back.
“If I die, I’ve arranged for the Duke’s secrets to be immediately spread!”
The words had an effect. Duke Bellion’s eyebrows moved ever so slightly. Seizing the momentum, Delina continued.
“So my initial condition still stands. Let me stay here.”
“…….”
“I’ll do anything. Please.”
There was no other place where Delina could meet all the masterminds. So she was all the more desperate.
“Your Highness. How about letting her go for now?”
The greenhaired man spoke.
“It might be good to investigate first. The decision can wait.”
“……Fine.”
Duke Bellion agreed, sheathing his sword.
“Imprison her.”
“Understood.”
Delina’s life was spared for now. The greenhaired man gestured to her, still holding a long rope.
“Come, shall we tie you up obediently?”
“…….”
‘I’m alive, but….’
Delina sighed softly as the rope wrapped around her wrists. The greenhaired man spoke as he tied it.
“I’ll tie it gently. Considering your physical ability, it doesn’t matter if I just lock you up, but….”
“…….”
“Oh, now that I think about it, you have excellent information, so you know my name, right?”
“……Felic, Duke Bellion’s aide. Felic.”
“Oh, right. Correct! Don’t worry too much about the prison. Think of it as my prison and rest comfortably. Since you answered correctly, I’ll even add a dessert as a gesture.”
“That’s really…… tearfully appreciated.”
Felic laughed merrily as if this situation was entirely enjoyable. Meanwhile, Delina’s wrists were tied with the rope.
“Stop talking nonsense. Leave.”
“Yes, yes.”
It was Bellion who interrupted the conversation between the two. Only then did Felic rise from his seat, and Delina also obediently followed Felic. While moving, Felic asked what would be good for the dessert menu, and Delina had to answer each one.
Nevertheless, the purpose of entering the Duke’s mansion had been achieved. Delina decided to be satisfied with that for now.
‘I really came. To the Duke’s house.’
Finally, her eyes became accustomed to the darkness, and the view of the Duke’s house was visible. Delina quietly swallowed her dry saliva.
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…?
