Catherine stared at Ivonne, whom she had known since a very young age, with a slightly reserved look. Even if they were friends for a long time, not everyone was a friend.
“Ivonne.”
She called her, and although they matched well to some extent, there had never been a reciprocal sincerity between them.
“You…”
Ivonne, who was suddenly close, flinched a little as she saw Catherine approaching. However, before she could avoid it, Catherine grabbed her riding jacket and prevented her from avoiding.
“Why do you want to sit on the empress’s seat? Is it because it’s a high position?”
“The times are changing, Catherine. I thought you weren’t that foolish?”
“You’ve hated the emperor until now, haven’t you?”
She clearly heard the rumors that said the weak tribe that couldn’t protect the country was shouting. She also heard sympathizers who agreed with the words that said, even though the returned emperor ruled from somewhere, he didn’t even know he was a humble person. Although Dragonlord vouched for him, it wasn’t easy for their thoughts to change. They were strong-minded nobles.
“Oh, that. It has changed a bit.”
Ivonne casually brushed off Catherine’s hand holding her clothes.
“It didn’t look bad up close. No, to be honest, it’s hard to say that face is bad.”
Has he become acceptable because he’s handsome? That’s absurd. Ivonne wasn’t such a simple person. How many handsome men were there in the east?
Men who came seeking wealth and fame flirted with the high nobles, and for a woman like Ivonne, playing games of love with infatuated men was an easy task. However, Ivonne, who never blinked an eye even when handsome men whispered sweet words to her, fell for the emperor?
“Ivonne. Aren’t you afraid?”
Unable to understand, Catherine eventually revealed her honest feelings.
“What?”
“The one who turned the East into a wasteland. Not an ordinary human. You have to live with such a man. Are you prepared?”
The emperor instantly stepped into the East. He executed only a few people from Moiquifel and seized all the remaining property.
He was filling the void in the imperial family that had never existed before by taking control of the economic power of the East.
More frightening than that was the thunderstorm striking down at the execution ground. Catherine couldn’t forget the anger that brought endless terror, not just a natural disaster.
“What are you talking about, Catherine? Are you the one who’s scared?”
Ivonne chuckled softly.
“Didn’t your family tutor teach you that power is something to be feared? Or didn’t you learn from the adults?”
Crazy woman. Catherine realized with a start that a profanity she had never used before targeting Ivonne was rising in her mind. However, the curse that wriggled up from within her was a reality.
“The most frightening thing is the most powerful power. I should naturally possess that. You’re scared, Catherine.”
Ivonne’s light olive eyes were filled with ambition as she flirted with fear.
“It’s the emperor who’s scared. If you’re scared, you can’t possess it.”
Enchanted by that fear, by that immense power, Ivonne, who had smiled brightly, distanced herself from Catherine. At least Lady Alanka realized that she was not a competitor, and her footsteps became much lighter.
Left behind, Catherine revised her overall evaluation of Ivonne.
‘She’s empty-headed.’
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…?
