When Aston saw me and regained his memories, he offered the Star Palace, saying that I was a guest, but staying there had led to uncomfortable rumors among the servants and maids.
One day, I overheard the servants preparing water in secret, thinking that I was still asleep.
“Hey, the guest of the Star Palace. It’s someone secretly gathered by Her Majesty, but they say there’s nothing like proof of identity. Shouldn’t we check?”
〈You are an esteemed person, but you are someone who stays without revealing the family name. Her Majesty has been leading a restrained life so far, but now she might be tempted by the opposite gender.〉
〈Oh dear. Good heavens! How outrageous. Without even receiving the title of Empress or Queen yet, how dare you arbitrarily place someone with an uncertain status into the imperial palace?〉
〈Sigh. If this gets into Her Majesty’s ears, we will all face severe consequences.〉
〈But it’s frustrating. A woman, whose status as a commoner or slave is unknown, enjoying a luxurious life in this beautiful Star Palace.〉
〈She might be a swindler trying to deceive the Emperor, or pretending to be high-class; wouldn’t it be good to tell the Chief Minister if evidence comes out while pretending to be noble?〉
〈Oh my, that sounds good.〉
I felt uncomfortable hearing the maids fervently plotting to unveil my identity under the surface.
“Although I’m currently living in the Star Palace thanks to Aston’s favor… I probably can’t stay here for long. I’ve heard the maids gossiping about how my identity is unclear.”
When I honestly spoke, including Siena, my colleagues’ expressions became stern.
“Who said that?”
Siena clenched her fist and shivered.
“Did the Star Palace maids say such nonsense?”
Ruth tried to recall aggressive magic spells to locate the coordinates.
“It seems we need to change the water. What is Her Majesty doing if she can’t even manage the people below?”
Benedict blamed Aston right away.
“If you send them to the temple, I can reform them well. Would you entrust them to me?”
Despite Michael’s mild words, he had silently prepared to draw his sword from its sheath.
Sherina, Jacqueline, Nadia, and Cloud were not much different.
“Shall we submit a petition to Her Majesty?”
“Sheri, how about waiting for them to act recklessly and then swooping in to cover up the scene? That way, we can’t make baseless excuses.”
“Can’t we just go and beat them up? Even if I lost my memory, I’ve been training hard in martial arts. I can break down at least one wall.”
“Nadia, dear, that will only result in someone’s death. It would be more painful for them if we follow proper procedures to ensure they never step foot in the imperial palace again.”
“Hahaha…”
Ah, while I was away, my colleagues seemed to have become even stronger individuals.
“It seems like an overly protective situation.”
“Overly protective? It’s only proper for you to receive special treatment! You’re the hero who saved this world, and instead of a grand parade…”
I shouted, “That’s a bit much. I really don’t like being in the spotlight too much.”
“Oh, then how about speaking to the Emperor and asking for a substantial reward? No, asking to lower the status altogether might be better…”
“It’s okay, really. It’s fine, so please calm down.”
“I’m more composed now than ever!”
“No, Siena. You were too excited. Try taking a deep breath.”
“If that’s what Ilhang-nim wants, I’m more than willing!”
… It seemed like Siena had undergone the most significant change.
‘She’s turned into someone who speaks her mind and lives her life.’
Having stepped away from the position of the Crown Princess, Siena appeared brighter and more cheerful.
While maintaining the position of a saint, according to Michael, it was an honorary position, and she no longer confined herself to the temple as she did before.
“Thanks to Ilhang-nim, everyone is leading peaceful everyday lives.”
Michael, who initially treated me as a suspicious intruder, now politely bowed and expressed gratitude. The acknowledgment and respect from him felt different from before.
For the first time, he didn’t refer to me as a threat or intruder. Siena, who had been at odds with me from the beginning, was now thanking me. Life is full of unexpected changes.
“By the way, come to think of it, Siena, do you have someone you meet?”
Curious whether Siena had become involved with someone other than the Crown Prince, or rather, the former Crown Prince, I asked the question. Siena responded with a refreshing smile.
“No, not at all.”
“…Not at all?”
I was momentarily speechless at the unexpected answer.
“Why, why is that?”
“I don’t really need such a partner. The life I lead now, occasionally going out to serve the temple priests, is what makes me happiest.”
Looking at her cheeks dyed with joyful blush, I realized that Siena had already made up her mind to live alone.
“That’s right. Living a single life isn’t bad.”
Siena will be happy on her own. Even if life isn’t shared with someone else, people find motivation to live in different ways.
Then, unexpectedly, Siena threw a similar question back at me.
“Ilhang-nim, do you have any thoughts of settling down here and driving a stake into the ground?”
“Y-yes?”
A stake? What stake? Could she be talking about marriage?
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…?
