〈You’re going to die anyway, you’ll die too, you know that? I killed the royalty. I killed the royalty.〉
Lena’s words, muttered like a spell as she continually stroked her red hair tie, rang loudly in Ines’s ears.
According to what she’d heard, Lena’s crime was the accidental killing of royalty.
Who then was the royalty she killed?
〈The lord who’s not even satisfying to tear to pieces… He said all I had to do was follow orders… He surely promised to spare Jason, this damn… Jason, Jason…〉
Lena’s muttering, always accompanied by a shudder, seemed to sound right next to her, and Ines clenched her teeth.
Had the past changed? But after returning to the past, Ines had not done anything that could change the situation. Moreover, she didn’t know exactly when Carson von Raymond was to become the lord of Resonia instead of Randhill.
The headlines of magazines and newspapers on the desk in Zemerun’s office were all Ines knew of the world’s affairs.
“…nes… Ines?”
Lost in thought, Ines didn’t even properly hear her father calling her.
“Yes?”
“What’s on your mind that you’re so deep in thought? The food is getting cold.”
“Oh, sorry. I suddenly have a headache.”
She forced a smile, but her heart continued to feel uneasy, like building a sandcastle that wouldn’t stick together.
“When is the new lord coming to the territory?”
“In three days.”
“Three days…”
The Ines of that time was indifferent to the news of the new lord. To her, who considered only Joseph to be the center of the world, the story of the eighth prince was merely someone else’s business.
Back then, Ines had angrily stomped away from her seat the moment the subject of a marriage proposal came up from her father. Naturally, she hadn’t heard the news that the lord was changing.
That day, Ines received a proposal, and a few days later, she was practically confined to the mansion by her father, who had found out.
After finally getting married, she became a commoner’s wife and could not enter society, so it was not unreasonable that she didn’t remember exactly who the new lord was, even though she had heard that he had changed.
“But he won’t be coming straight to Randhill.”
“Then where…?”
Her father, watching Ines’s expression carefully, spoke cautiously.
“He’s said to have a princess in Resonia. So, it’s the new lord’s sister. He’s going to escort her there.”
The new master of Randhill would stop in Resonia before coming here. Ines’s father, who also served the Resonia territorial family, was naturally doubly busy.
“That’s why the son of Viscount Damian can’t come here.”
“Yes.”
In three days, he will be in Resonia.
Ines caught her breath for a moment. She thought that meeting Carson might be an event twelve years in the future. She considered that there might be no chance to meet him in this life.
The benefactor of her life who saved Ines, who could not be forgiven even in death, the only person who took care of her safely.
The savior who first reached out with goodwill in a world full of nothing but contempt and malice toward her.
The thought that she could see him again began to make Ines’s heart flutter.
Then she felt like she was forgetting something important that should not be missed. She just chewed her lower lip, mixing anxiety and joy.
(This is a time divider.)
Even after returning to the room, Ines could not sit down and lingered.
She recalled the day she met Carson when she was released. Ines, who was sentenced to 30 years in Romfield, was released from that prison after receiving a special pardon coinciding with the enthronement of a new emperor.
The huge prison door that seemed like it would never open, opened, and Ines was pushed out into the world.
With a thud, the door closed behind her, and at the same time, the intense sunlight that made her eyes squint was the first thing that greeted her.
Covering her face with her hand, she caught her breath, waiting to get used to the sunlight.
She started walking without even fully opening her eyes, but she had no courage to move toward the world.
When she escaped the rough forest path and met the wellmaintained wide sidewalk, she could only stop. Far away, she saw people leisurely walking in the market.
But Ines knew. What cruelty was hidden behind the faces of those ordinary people, who looked warm and affectionate at first glance.
〈Die. Die!〉
〈Such a filthy wench, even rotten food is too good for her.〉
〈Just look at that halfandhalf face, who killed her husband and leached off another man.〉
People threw whatever they could find at her, as she was dragged to court by the guards.
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…?
