How the Abandoned Queen Made That Man Kneel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 85
“You are already too late, Duchess Rudo.”
“Too late?”
“The key figures to assist the Empress have already been decided. If you had come to me a little earlier with your request, I would have gladly appointed you as the Empress’s aide. What a ‘pity’ it has turned out to be.”
Duchess Rudo naturally assumed she was the first to approach him.
After all, the role of an aide was typically decided slowly, after the Empress had been formally enthroned and given a few days to settle into her position.
When a crack appeared in the carefully laid plans she had built like delicate blocks, Duchess Rudo was considerably flustered but managed to maintain a composed facade.
“For matters to progress this quickly is surprising. It’s truly regrettable that I cannot assist Her Majesty the Empress by her side, but I feel reassured knowing someone far more capable than I must have been appointed.”
“You are humble. But you are somewhat correct. After much deliberation, I selected an exceptional talent.”
Parnes had anticipated that Duchess Rudo would eventually come to him about this matter.
He respected her as his aunt, but he had no intention of allowing her to extend her influence over the imperial court indefinitely.
Duchess Rudo was someone who desired to rise above her middling position of power.
Though she was of royal blood from the Ram Kingdom, being from a collateral line meant she had little chance of achieving anything greater.
Thus, she swallowed her pride and married a merchant-turned-noble from the Renel Empire.
Her primary aim was likely to establish connections with the Renel imperial family, but there was another reason as well.
She had once loved the late Emperor, Parnes’s father, and aspired to become Empress.

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…?
