He lightly laughed and brushed Ru’s hair, then held her hand. It was a hand that held a sword and a pen, not delicately beautiful, but to him, it was more beautiful than anyone else’s. Did Ru know that?
“Of course, I know it’s because you love me.”
He knew. He knew why she was so anxious.
“But Carlos Asu Ingram means nothing to me. See? I’m fine. You don’t even need to care. Trust me, Ru?”
Ru leaned into his arms with a cheerful face.
“Yeah. I trust you.”
I trust you, but I never want to become an existence that harms you.
Saying that to herself, Ru closed her eyes. If there were even a little hopeful signal, she wouldn’t have prepared for the worst, but the situation was worsening. She was afraid it would become irreversible. Next, it might not be the heart but the throat that gets pierced, or the head might get smashed.
Hayden’s comforting touch didn’t leave her even as night fell.
“I can join you even during bath time.”
“Eek.”
Ru replied nonchalantly and headed to the bathroom. Hayden, who was watching her with regret, muttered.
“It’s a joke.”
“It’s not a joke.”
“Will you ever allow me the honor someday?”
Before entering the bathroom, Ru looked at Hayden with her head pulled back.
“It’s not a joke.”
“You’ve already taken that honor several times, Your Majesty. And now, the executioner is waiting over there.”
“Then later.”
Leaving the matter behind, Hayden smiled slyly and ushered Ru into the bathroom first. The emperor behaved casually toward his fiancee.
Maybe he loved her too much. Even though he seemed so busy, when Ru finished bathing after receiving the empress’s bath preparation, he was already washed and quietly waiting in loose bathrobe.
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
Certainly, she went in first, but Hayden, with slightly damp hair, loosely draped a towel over it and was smiling.
“You need to prepare quickly before bedtime. Come here. I’ll dry your hair.”
Did he notice she was about to leave? Ru smiled, looking at Hayden, who was extending his hand.
Her heart ached. It seemed like she was sending signals not to leave, as if he would only choose such beautiful gestures. No, it was just Ru’s heart that wanted to sit down because she liked what he did.
Approaching slowly, he sat on the bed and pulled her straight onto his lap, unfolding a large towel. The gentle touch that dried her hair was sincere.
“We’re only engaged, but we’re already living as if we’re married.”
“If we were married, I wouldn’t be careful.”
“Oh, were you careful?”
“Didn’t you know? I’m disappointed. If we were married, we’d eat three meals together, and we’d have to deal with work together. We wouldn’t even have separate bedrooms. There wouldn’t be time apart.”
He muttered as he kissed her cheek.
“I learned it’s not like that.”
Ru turned to him and tilted her head. Among the numerous things she was learning to become empress, there was no such story.
“Oh, the empress seems to have forgotten. Let’s talk about that later, then.”
The fingers delving into her hair felt good. Hayden approached with a soft smile.
Is tonight the last night? No, I decided not to even think about such things. Ru closed her eyes.
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.]
