Harold, the Countess, was astonished as she looked at Artia, and her eyes trembled with surprise.
“Looks like you’re awake. Did you sleep well?”
Artia raised one corner of her mouth and spoke.
Seeing the countess’s well-defined waist and smooth legs, she finally remembered that she had gone to the gym with her own feet.
“…”
Suddenly losing consciousness and falling, she couldn’t recall what happened afterward, but she vividly remembered going up from the first floor to the upper floor.
“My goodness. Was it not a dream?”
In her dream, Artia became a giant and oppressed her.
Thinking back, the countess seemed to have seen Artia’s figure growing enormous just before collapsing.
Artia’s waist was slim, but the arms and legs sticking out of her tight clothes were thick.
The narrow neck that barely supported her face seemed to have been swollen several times.
“You even came in so well with the stolen bracelet.”
Artia approached the Countess Harald with a bright smile.
“Ah.”
The countess couldn’t figure out what to say at this point. Her head was already spinning.
“As expected, you can’t hide your usual habits even outside.”
“What happened?”
“What do you mean?”
“Have I… been lying down all this time?”
Countess Harald touched her forehead, narrowing her eyes.
Artia expected Artia to be in the gym, but now that she was face to face, she didn’t know what to say.
The Artia, who seemed about to die at any moment, laughed leisurely and approached her with ease.
‘How did she gain so much weight?’
Seeing Artia’s completely changed complexion, gaze, and atmosphere, Countess Harald swallowed hard.
Should she say she wants to be healthy?
How should she express herself when her stolen bracelet and the fact that she had been caught were known?
Countess Harald’s head was throbbing.
“Woke up lying on the bed.”
“Well, have you been lying down for about three days?”
Artia responded while examining the countess, whose hair had become disheveled from lying down for a long time.
“Three days?”
“Your body wasn’t in good shape. You even mumbled in your sleep.”
“…?”
Artia, who had approached her without her noticing, whispered in her ear.
“What was it? You said you used dark magic, and you apologized.”
At that moment, Countess Harald’s eyes widened.
“Me, me, me?”
“Who else would it be?”
“T-that was just sleep talking… I-I couldn’t have used such a thing.”
She was trying to speak calmly, but her voice trembled.
‘As expected, it’s just as I anticipated, you…’
Artia placed her hand on the countess’s shoulder and smiled gently.
For a moment, the Countess Harald felt a chill. It was a gaze that knew everything.
‘Even so, seeing her wake up so quickly, maybe she wasn’t really going to die…’
According to the information Kasus obtained, the side effect of the release of dark magic is that the one who used dark magic suffers damage.
“How would you explain the black snake pattern on your body?”
“W-What…”
“Are you going to keep avoiding until the end?”
“…”
“I know that it was you who cast dark magic on my body.”
“!”
Countess Harald’s eyes widened even more.
“Do you know what happens when you use dark magic in the Empire?”
In response to Artia’s meaningful smile, Countess Harald bit her lips.
She stared at Artia with bloodshot eyes without saying a word.
“To ruin one’s own life to the point of destruction. It’s truly pathetic.”
“Y-you… Are you threatening me right now?”
“Didn’t you know? You are now trapped in the gym.”
“W-what…?”
With a trembling voice, Countess Harald asked.
“Thanks for walking in on your own.”
Artia smirked.
Her slightly raised cheek was eerie.
Countess Harald was unconsciously stepping backward.
“Welcome to the Hell Training Camp. If you become a model prisoner, you might be able to get out a bit earlier.”
“W-What on earth are you talking about… Cough!”
As Countess Harald coughed, blood stained her lips.
Even though she seemed to have recovered for a moment, Countess Harald’s physical condition was beyond words.
Artia looked at Countess Harald and thought.
‘Even if I leave her alone, she’ll die soon.’
Countess Harald was as precarious as a candle flame in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.
Being born as a human, the most miserable thing is to live as a long-suffering patient rather than quickly dying from illness.
If the body is filled with diseases and one wants to die quickly, but life clings on thinly, living becomes like hell.
This is one of the greatest pains a human can experience.
‘I can’t let her go peacefully.’
When Artia clapped her hands loudly, Kasus approached and placed his hand on Countess Harald’s shoulder.
Although his huge hand exerted almost no force, Countess Harald felt tremendous pressure.
It felt like she had come to the wrong place.
“Let’s start by taking care of your almost corpse-like body.”
Artia, turning Countess Harald’s head left and right, took her somewhere.
It was a mat with a long foam roller.
It had partitions, allowing for personal space.
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.]
