Also, she needed a baby, so she suggested exchanging a lifetime of food and shelter for the baby in her belly.
‘Twins?’
But there were no conditions in the agreement about the baby being twins.
Riohne, fearing that the woman who claimed to be the future empress might buy the child, shivered with anxiety as she spoke.
“Just take one child, please.”
“Hah.”
Wiping away the scars, Riohne snapped out of her thoughts.
At that time, she didn’t know.
That moment would make her uneasy for a lifetime.
Riohne, adorned with expensive jewels, let her hair down and put on a light nightgown.
Wearing the brown wig again, she looked at her face reflected in the mirror, now back to her usual appearance without the golden eyes and hair that Vercheria had discovered.
She walked out of the room, meant for her alone, and headed to the Emperor’s bedroom where Gerard was sleeping.
When she opened the massive door, a strong musky scent greeted her.
“Emperor.”
Gerard’s blurry, drunken eyes from the party turned towards Riohne.
The moonlight illuminated her silhouette, revealing her delicate figure.
“You’re late.”
Gerard muttered with slurred pronunciation.
“But my heart has been missing you, Emperor.”
Riohne approached Gerard closely, as if wiping his face, and let the magical aroma touch his nose.
The attitude going into and coming out of the bathroom was naturally different for a man.
A long time ago, just making a woman aware of him was enough to win her over, but it wasn’t always possible.
People grew tired of whatever they became, and there was no desire that never changed.
So, Riohne did everything she could to captivate Gerard.
People thought she was just occupying the position in the Emperor’s government, but they didn’t care about what she did to keep that position.
“I missed you, Emperor.”
Riohne caressed Gerard’s back, climbed onto the bed, and whispered sweetly in his ear, as he moaned in response to the secret sensation.
“Hurry up and marry Princess Kellita to Lacrane. If you hesitate, Vercheria might take everything away.”
“Oh, right. Yeah, we should do that.”
With a chilling face, Riohne was gradually taking over Gerard.
The bed where Vercheria and Lacrane lay together was melting with warm heat.
The body temperature they had shared for centuries still remained the same.
“I missed you.”
With one word from Lacrane, it was easy to feel the numerous emotions it carried without even thinking about it.
As if already knowing her thoughts, Lacrane repeatedly told Vercheria, who was in her arms, sweet words.
For how long I’ve been waiting for you.
How precious I consider this moment right now.
The time that flowed outside the door comes and stops here.
“Hah.”
Every time Lacrane’s lips brushed, Vercheria’s senses, which had been asleep, awakened.
His touch, soothing the sensitized her, somehow made her even more eager.
“Lacrane.”
Vercheria’s hands wandered in the air, not knowing what to do.
Unbearable emotions arose wherever the gaze touched, wherever the breath reached.
Lacrane whispered to her gently, sometimes rough, moving in a way that made her more passionate.
“I’ll reward you as much as I’ve waited.”
When he first said he fell in love with a human, the gods laughed.
What could he gain by loving humans, who live such short lives?
Is it worth sacrificing for the fleeting connections passing in the blink of an eye?
They know nothing.
They would never experience the fulfillment he feels holding this woman.
Even if he were to go back to the past and live through the pain for a long time, even if he had to meet Vercheria again with scars all over his body, he would walk this path again without hesitation.
To Lacrane, others who have not felt such overwhelming love seemed pitiful.
Once in a lifetime.
Vercheria was a precious gift bestowed only on him, not anyone else.
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.]
