A large hand pulling Atia’s slender neck.
White teeth peeking out between Atia’s red lips.
Casus’s blue eyes shone.
Atia was reminded of the original heroine for a moment.
But that was all.
Casus’s silent lips drew Atia in as if sucking her in.
A man’s scent so enchanting it was indescribable hit Atia’s nose.
Unwittingly, Atia closed her eyes.
Her heart wildly throbbed.
She had never felt this way before.
‘I don’t even know…’
Atia’s body moved automatically to Casus’s lead.
It felt as if time had stopped in the space they were alone in.
Casus felt the same.
It was as if they were walking on clouds.
Both felt as if their souls were drifting in a drowsy mood.
“……”
“……”
To think they’d be kissing here, something they had never done in their previous lives.
‘I thought our noses would bump and ruin the kiss…’
But Atia was wrong.
Contrary to expectations, the kiss with Casus was incredibly sweet and euphoric.
It was also as soft as the fine sand on the beach bathed in sunlight.
‘So this is what a kiss is…’
She felt unjust.
‘To think I haven’t done this good thing until now.’
Especially when she didn’t have much time left to live.

Meanwhile, a bolt from the blue struck the royal family who had bought up all the land near Barel.
The vast royal reception room was filled with many ministers and palace women.
They had practically bought up all the land, thinking it was a goldmine.
“What? There’s only rocks?”
The emperor with graying hair furrowed his brow.
The reporting minister hung his head uneasily.
“Yes, Your Majesty, they say it’s only rocks and soil…”
After days of intense efforts, what the royal family had gained from digging up almost all the land in Barel was.
Ultimately, just heaps of rocks and soil.
Emperor Deluman, who had bought not just Barel but also the surrounding areas, violently slammed his fist into the throne.
Next to him sat the crown prince.
“Hmph.”
Crown Prince Owen ate a cherry, smirking.
“Nothing but rocks… It would be perfect for erecting statues everywhere.”
His blond hair shone like the sun.
His long eye lines curled like crescent moons.
His golden eyes were soft but also sharp as if harboring a blade.
Crown Prince Owen.
He was the protagonist of this novel, .
“Do you find this funny?”
Emperor Deluman picked up the report, pressing his forehead.
“What can we do? It’s already done.”
Owen spoke in a relaxed voice, crossing his long legs and popping another cherry into his mouth.
His legs were so long he could cross them twice if he wanted.
The most eligible person to be the next emperor of the Felun Empire.
Owen.
The red cherry juice filled Owen’s mouth.
A little juice trickled down the corner of his mouth.
He caught the eye of a palace woman who was glancing at him.
“You.”
Owen gestured with his chin toward the palace woman who quickly turned her eyes toward him.
“Yes, you.”
Owen snapped his fingers.
“Come here.”
The palace woman approached Owen, bowing her waist.
“It’s hot. Fan me.”
The moment Owen spoke, the palace woman grabbed the peacock feather fan.
Usually, large fans were always prepared for the hotbodied emperor and crown prince.
“No, how about massaging my feet instead?”
Owen said, sweeping his brilliant golden hair back with one hand.
The palace woman put down the fan and knelt beside him.
Owen stretched out his legs so she could easily massage them.
“I don’t know why my body has been aching lately.”
Owen slowly rotated his neck clockwise, mumbling.
“Can you press a little harder?”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
The palace woman massaging his feet was very tense, taking great care not to make a mistake.
His feet were soft and smooth, but a slipup could cost her her life.
The masseuse used all the techniques he knew to apply pressure on Owen’s sole, instep, and toes.
However, Owen, with a slightly displeased face, crossed his opposite leg and offered the other foot to the masseuse.
The masseuse, who had been working on his right foot, now began to knead his left foot.
Emperor Deluman stroked his long, snowwhite beard that covered his chin.
Deluman had a habit of touching his beard when deep in thought.
Like now.
“There’s a festival in the Duke of Wellington’s territory every twelve years.”
“Indeed.”
“The last festival was a mess because of the previous Duke. If it’s the same this time, the people will be displeased.”
“Sounds fun. A festival after 12 years.”
Owen crossed his opposite leg again and offered the other foot to the masseuse.
The masseuse, who had been working on his left foot, now began to knead his right foot again.
Owen spoke with his eyes closed.
“As you say, Your Majesty, the last festival did not yield good results.”
“It’s a longstanding tradition. It’s an important event for them.”
Pondering, Owen soon grinned.
“If we mess up something so important, it would be quite interesting.”

“Uh, who…?”
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…?
