Arriving at the gym, Artia broke out in a cold sweat. Her back and hair gradually became damp.

“Something feels off with my body…”

Artia was concerned about her unusual condition, ranging from useless thoughts about dark magic resurfacing to fears of falling ill with another disease.

Casus, who followed her, worried about Artia’s state and asked, “Are you okay? What’s going on?”

“…Don’t worry too much. I just need to check something.”

“What?”

Artia placed her hands on the exercise equipment and attempted chin-ups.

“One, two, three.”

Watching Artia go up and down rapidly, Casus raised an eyebrow. He couldn’t help but feel bewildered by her sudden actions. She had rushed to the gym instead of finishing her meal.

After completing a few sets, Artia approached another piece of equipment and trained her entire body.

After the workout, Artia placed her hand on Casus’s arm, who was anxiously observing her.

“Were you worried?”

“Of course. You exercised enough earlier; was it not sufficient?”

“I just stopped by for a check.”

“A check?”

“Just in case dark magic resurfaced.”

“…That won’t happen, right?”

Casus’s expression darkened.

Unable to determine Artia’s physical condition, he felt frustrated.

“I couldn’t help but worry. I’m sorry for leaving while we were having dinner.”

“Let’s go to the room. I’ll call for a physician.”

“No, well… I think I’ll be fine if I rest a bit. I exercised, and it seems like there’s nothing wrong.”

Artia, who was very concerned about muscle loss, seemed relieved that it wasn’t the case.

Thank goodness.

“I can’t.”

“What?”

“Let’s go to the room.”

Supporting Artia, Casus led her to the room.

Once in the room, Casus hugged Artia, laid her on the bed, and immediately called for a physician.

Lying on the soft bed, Artia felt sleep approaching.

“Oh, why am I so tired today? Did I exercise too hard?”

Yawning, she closed one eye and looked at Casus.

“I’ll take a nap.”

“Alright. Don’t worry, sleep well.”

Placing his hand on the blanket, Casus comforted Artia’s stomach.

Thinking about tomorrow’s exercise, Artia soon fell asleep.

After a while, three physicians arrived.

Artia was already asleep.

Seeing Artia sleeping peacefully like a child, Casus gently put his index finger on her lips as a silent signal.

The physicians nodded, trying to be as quiet as possible as they examined Artia’s condition.

?

However, the expressions of the physicians, while examining Artia, were somewhat unusual.

They examined her several times. Perhaps they could be wrong in their judgment.

Catching onto the physicians’ uneasy expressions, Casus spoke first.

“What’s going on? Is her condition bad?”

Concerned that something might have happened, Casus felt his heart sink.
The physicians exchanged glances and then spoke.

“It seems like you… have a child.”

“What?”

“You’re pregnant.”

!”

Casus froze with a shocked expression. He struggled to find words and finally managed to ask hesitantly.

“Pregnant? Are you sure?”

“Yes, we’re sure. The results were consistent after checking several times.”

“Oh my goodness!”

Casus covered his mouth with his hand and looked at Artia, not knowing what to say.

Unaware of her actions, Artia, who usually slept well with just her head on the pillow, was deeply immersed in sleep.

‘Could it be… the morning sickness was due to pregnancy?’

Casus tried to calm his racing heart.

Artia’s behavior today was different from before. She didn’t eat her favorite food and seemed tired.

He had worried that something might be wrong with her health, and it turned out to be pregnancy.

“Pregnancy…”

Realizing that the physicians’ words were true, Casus burst into a bitter laugh, overwhelmed by emotions that were hard to express.

“Haha…”

What would it feel like to have a child?

Casus, who had spent a lot of time with Artia, sometimes thought about it. Creating a peaceful home as they grew older together.

Now that their family was growing, everything had to be planned anew.

Early in the morning, Artia woke up.

Casus was looking at her.

Her eyes were moist, indicating that something must be wrong.

“Huh? What’s with that look?”

Artia asked as she sat up.

“…”

Casus silently looked at Artia and then pulled her into his arms. Sensing an unusual atmosphere, Artia raised her eyebrows.

“Why? What’s wrong? Is something happening?”

“…”

Casus, who had been hesitant, finally spoke.

“You’re pregnant.”

“What?!”

Surprised, Artia opened her mouth wide.

Artia pulled away from Casus’s embrace, looking into his blue eyes.

“What did you say?”

Seeing the moistness in his eyes, it didn’t seem like a joke.

Artia’s heart began to beat vigorously.

“Wait a moment. A child? So, I’m… pregnant?”

Casus nodded.

“Ha…”

Pregnant.

Artia couldn’t believe it.

‘Is there really a child inside here?’

Artia blinked her eyes, looking at her flat stomach.

“Hahaha… I can’t feel it now. What did I do to be pregnant already?”

“Are you very surprised?”

“Yes. It feels like a dream… I wonder what I heard. Oh, I’m fully awake now.”

“It’s not a dream.”

“Ah…”

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…?
