“Are you serious?”
“That’s my word.”
“Then please support me. I will definitely become the head eunuch.”
The head eunuch played a role in assisting the king’s duties, overseeing all palace inhabitants. In other words, it meant that there was no reason at all for her to leave the emperor’s side. It was not unusual for her to come to him in the middle of the night.
“But why do you live your life so tiresomely?”
“What do you mean?”
“Besides that, have you ever thought of an easier… method? For example…”
“Even if I’m not the head eunuch, it doesn’t matter as long as I can stay closest to Your Majesty. But in the current situation, the most perfect way to stay by Your Majesty’s side day and night is only that. I have no other choice.”
Ignoring Ines, Carson shook his head and drank a little water from the cup. Ines, as if the water were holy water, gratefully accepted it.
Without looking at Ines, Carson asked in the calmest voice possible, “Rather, why do you make your life so exhausting?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Instead of that, haven’t you thought of an easier… way? For example, if you just say you’re my… concubine, it’ll be fine. You are aiming to be closest to me, right? Then you can sleep by my side every night…”
At the sound of a faint laugh, the emperor frowned.
“Why are you laughing?”
“How can I be Your Majesty’s concubine?”
“Why… not?”
“Is Your Majesty a man?”
“Then what am I?”
Even as the emperor’s voice gradually became more ominous, Ines only sipped her water, not responding.
“Ask me what you want to know.”
“Can I be your god?”
“It’s similar, isn’t it?”
“Ha.”
“No, it’s more certain. It’s someone higher than a god, as I can see and reach out to directly. To me, it’s more certain than a god.”
Carson laughed as if he couldn’t believe it.
Is it possible for anyone to answer the words of God in such a straightforward manner?
“Is there anyone you feel as a man?”
He asked with a laughter-mixed voice, moving back to the table. He felt a strange dryness in his throat as she drank water. Carson poured water into a glass as usual and sipped it.
But when he had gone beyond one sip, two sips, three sips, he realized that no response came from Ines. In a surprised mood, when he turned to look at her, he saw the woman lost in thought, sitting on his bed in white pajamas, who had just been catching her breath in his arms.
“What are you thinking, Ines?”
“…….”
“Ines!”
“Yes?”
“Did I just ask you a question…?”
“Ah…….”
Ines raised her water glass. It was probably an action to hide her expression, but as it was a glass, it was an impossible task from the start.
“Well……”
‘Well?’ At Ines’s nuance, which seemed like a confession of truth, Carson’s heart irregularly pounded.
“Speak, don’t beat around the bush.”
Although the emperor’s voice lowered, Ines didn’t sense any particular atmosphere. It was nothing special, yet her cheeks flushed, and she smiled slightly awkwardly.
“Actually……”
“Why do you hesitate?”
‘Actually?’ At the beginning of her words, he expected her to continue steadily.
“At first, I thought it was just something he would say once in a while, but he’s been expressing good feelings to me quite steadily.”
As Carson took a deep breath, tensing his body, his chin naturally lifted.
“Do you… feel the same way?”
“I can’t say that, but can’t I, as a human, waver? There is no tree in the world that doesn’t fall even if you hit it ten times. It’s not like there is.”
Carson had always boasted that he knew everything about Ines. However, at this moment, all that trust shattered into pieces.
“There’s no tree that won’t fall after being hit ten times?”
“Yes? That’s just a saying…”
“Why aren’t there such trees in the world?”
“What… do you mean?”
That’s why such rumors circulated among people. The emperor was enveloped in Ines’s skirt, doing everything according to her will.
When Carson was with her, he was not the cold or ruthless Carson that people spoke of.
What on earth was he muttering now? Why did he ask where such a tree could be found? He couldn’t believe that he had uttered such a childish question.
The emperor sat down and approached the woman sitting on the bed, almost touching his knees.
Normally, when he slept, he would take off his upper body, but today he was in his usual attire.
Even as he approached threateningly, there was no change in the woman’s face, who had never scratched his emotions like today.
So, it couldn’t be helped. He had to show that there was a tree in the world that wouldn’t fall even if hit ten times.
“Ines.”
As he called her kindly, her face naturally turned toward him. Carson gently but quickly pinched Ines’s chin. Her lips, reddened by just exhaling a long breath, were now reddened with fever.
“If there is?”
“Yes?”
Using his thumb, Carson lightly wiped her swollen lips. Had he ever touched Ines like this before?
“If there is a tree that won’t fall even after being hit ten times, what would you do…?”
Rather than blushing with embarrassment, her face turned reddish with confusion. Carson took a long breath as he watched her reaction.
“If I find it, then I’ll make sure to let you do whatever you want.”
“Anything I want?”
“Yeah, anything.”
As she nodded her head as if enchanted, he smiled brightly. It was a pitch-black night that hadn’t dawned yet, but Ines’s eyes sparkled as if she had faced the morning sun.
His lips, which approached swiftly, engulfed Ines’s lips in an instant. The strong fortress built between him and her collapsed with a thud, making it surprisingly easy.
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.]
