“Lady is getting married, I can hardly believe it,” Bobby exclaimed as he saw Ollentia in her wedding dress. Ollentia was wearing a dress with a wide A-line shape adorned with numerous beads, and it sparkled like dewdrops whenever the sunlight touched it. The deep V-neckline emphasized her neck and chest, and the updo she had tied back suited her fantastically. Furthermore, the jewelry on her exposed neck and ears was made of rare, high-quality diamonds.
Ollentia calmly replied to Bobby’s constant compliments, “It’s just a fake wedding anyway. Don’t get carried away just because I’m wearing a wedding dress.”
“Why not? Even if it’s a contract marriage, I feel like you’re becoming a real adult.”
Hearing the phrase ‘real adult,’ Ollentia felt a bit strange. She always wanted to be a fine adult, someone who, like Socor or Kikojelia, wouldn’t trample on others and would always carry herself with grace and quietly do her own work.
But now she was entering into a contract marriage just to find her inheritance; she couldn’t really say she had become a true adult. It felt a bit embarrassing.
She chuckled and said, “Hehe! Thanks for seeing me that way, but I still have a long way to go.”
“Anyway, you have to be determined today. There will be many guests, and it’s going to be a wedding that everyone pays attention to.”
“That’s true. Everyone will probably think I’m marrying Viscount Lucsus. Somehow, it’s thrilling.”
“Do you really think so?”
For a moment, Ollentia seemed to have shown too much excitement while smiling broadly. She quickly closed her mouth and got into the carriage. She had spent too much time getting ready, wearing the wedding dress since dawn.
The carriage, carrying Ollentia and Bobby, passed through Noktipir and arrived at Geranium.
“Archbishop! Something big has happened! The rumors about the secret society are true!”
A priest from the Bonus Cathedral rushed into Archbishop Werbu’s office. The archbishop was sitting with a contemplative expression, his two hands clasped tightly together.
“Did Duke Dimidius Bellial come as the groom?”
In response to the archbishop’s question, the priest nodded with a face that seemed like the world was collapsing. Tears welled up in the priest’s eyes.
“This is not right. It might be best to cancel the wedding immediately.”
The priest’s words, suggesting an easy way out, made the archbishop clench his lips. The wedding had already been prepared with the hands of many people, and they had obtained a special marriage permit to hold it urgently. Cancelling it was originally not an option. Moreover, there was what he had said to Ollentia in Odorling.
‘You have only one way left. So, it doesn’t matter who it is, other than Viscount Lucsus, right?’
The archbishop had clearly agreed to Ollentia’s question and assured her that he would take responsibility for everything. Even if the other party was Dimidius, what could they do?
The archbishop stood up from his seat, still dressed in his white robe.
“I’ll take responsibility for everything. So, the wedding will proceed as planned.”
“But, Archbishop, on the day known to His Holiness the Pope!”
“I’ll handle that too.”
The archbishop knew the weight of a promise. He had said to Ollentia in Odorling that he couldn’t cancel the wedding, even though she had done something dangerous. So, even if the Duke had come, he couldn’t show that he was canceling it just because of that. Even if it seemed like a stubbornness, there was no other choice.
As he decisively left the office, the priest could no longer bother the archbishop.
Dimidius chuckled as he saw the Archbishop standing at the altar.
“Surprising, isn’t it? I thought you’d kick me out immediately.”
The Archbishop clenched his fist and spoke to Dimidius.
“You shouldn’t mock me recklessly, especially not today, even more so.”
“Of course not. I hope not to embarrass myself on such an important day.”
Dimidius and Archbishop Werbu glared at each other disapprovingly and then distanced themselves. Dimidius walked toward the entrance of the wedding venue.
Dimidius didn’t mind waiting for Ollentia during this time. It wasn’t so bad to see his own body, which had stiffened due to tension, and he felt a sense of anticipation at the thought of seeing Ollentia again.
That’s when it happened.
The entrance became noisy, and finally, a flower carriage, presumably carrying the bride Ollentia, appeared.
Dimidius walked towards the lavishly decorated carriage and extended his hand. He intended to escort Ollentia.
Then the carriage door opened, and today’s bride, Ollentia, extended her head. She was wearing a dazzling dress adorned with beads.
Ollentia took Dimidius’s hand and said, “The groom looks quite dashing, Your Grace.”
Despite knowing it was just a greeting, Dimidius’s heart trembled momentarily.
“Lady, your wedding dress is very… beautiful.”
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…?
