How much time has passed?

A loud noise echoed.

Kasus, whose body was sensitive, felt his senses gradually returning.

The unfamiliar and cold sensation touching his back played a part.

Moving his hands and feet little by little, Kasus realized that he was lying on a tall and long stone.

“…….”

In the unfamiliar sensation, Kasus stood up.

The torch flickered, and Atia appeared.

Around her, several people with red dye all over their bodies were visible.

“Lady!”

As Kasus called Atia while getting up from the stone, Atia shifted her gaze towards him.

The tribe approached Kasus, holding their spears and assuming a defensive stance.

Atia intervened, holding them back with her arms and shouting loudly.

“No!”

Atia came down from the platform, held their arms, and raised her head. Then, the tribe slowly lowered their spears.

Atia ran towards Kasus.

Kasus went down under the stone tomb and opened his mouth.

“What’s going on…”

Atia, who had run up to him, spread her small arms and embraced him.

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

Although Kasus’ uniform was dirty with mud, fortunately, his body seemed unharmed.

Atia whispered to him in a low voice.

“Is your body okay? I don’t know why, but they worship me.”

“Yeah. But this is so sudden.”

“I’ll handle it for now, so don’t provoke them.”

After releasing the hug, Atia looked at the tribe.

Atia touched Kasus’s body with her hands and spoke to them.

“Where are my friends?”

However, it seemed like they didn’t understand what she was saying.

‘In that case…’

Atia picked up a branch lying on the ground and began drawing a picture on the dirt floor.

Sweeping waves and a shape that looked like a boat as much as possible. And people riding on it.

Thunk!

Atia, who drew people on the boat, pointed to that part with a stick.

‘The language of drawings is a universal language. Hopefully, my excellent drawing skills will reach them.’

Perhaps Atia’s heart moved them.

At the drawing of the boat and people, the old woman gestured towards the tribe.

Atia approached the tied Owen and the knights.

In the dark, they weren’t visible, but Owen and his party were tied nearby.

Atia was surprised at the fact that the Duchess was up there, wearing a necklace suitable for natives.
The tribe, realizing that Atia’s group had arrived, removed the gags from Owen and the knights and untied the ropes.

“Sigh… What on earth is happening?”

Owen, with the gag removed from his mouth, asked Atia.

“I came to rescue you. I’ll explain the rest later.”

“…”

As time passed, the knights who had been in a deep sleep gradually woke up one by one.

Atia still had to find the remaining crew members and determine the whereabouts of the missing Line 4.

“Have the others not come?”

Atia gestured to them again.

The tribe blinked and tilted their heads.

Atia thought, ‘That old woman seems to be the leader.’

If she could win over Nopa’s heart, other matters would be resolved smoothly.

‘Let’s think about the fastest way.’

Atia walked up to Nopa, politely bowed, gave her a slight smile, and sent a confident gaze that conveyed trust in herself.

In Nopa’s cloudy gray eyes, a silver-haired woman smiling strangely was reflected.

Finally, Atia approached Nopa, placing her hands on her shoulders, and moved behind her.

‘She seems to be the leader. There are many places to soothe her body, showing signs of the weight of time and traces.’

Atia decided to target Nopa’s hunched back and stiff neck to melt Nopa’s heart.

‘If possible, I should teach her some exercises. She desperately needs physical therapy, considering the storms she’s faced.’

Unexpectedly, when Atia’s hands touched her, Nopa flinched.

Atia, moving carefully from the tense areas, began massaging Nopa’s body, hoping to melt her heart.

Fortunately, Nopa did not show any resistance to Atia’s touch.

Atia, adjusting the pressure appropriately, skillfully loosened the stiffened parts of Nopa’s long-experienced body.

‘No, what would have happened without me? It was really tightly knotted.’

As unexpected hands reached her, Nopa flinched.

Atia, having touched a sensitive area, carefully changed her hand shape, massaging Nopa.

Luckily, Nopa did not show any resistance to Atia’s touch.

After the shoulder massage, Nopa’s expression gradually thawed like melting ice.

Finally, Nopa, with her eyes opened, looked at Atia, then murmured softly after a while.

“Diona Lea… (Savior…)”

‘Alright, it worked.’

Atia picked up a small wooden stick nearby and began drawing a picture on the ground, just like before.

It was a boat shape and people.

“Where are these?”

Similar to the drawing she made earlier, but the Line 4 ship was slightly larger than the boat Atia arrived on, and there was a Siren statue at the front.

‘I tried to depict the Siren statue roughly. I hope this is understandable… With a pointed fringe and people riding on the boat.’

Using a thin twig, Atia drew the picture as intricately as possible.

Atia, who had talent in fine arts, moved the tribe with her drawing skills.

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…?
