“The man I changed my life for. Although he’s in the grave now.”
As Ines finished her sentence, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. The man, who had shown signs of discomfort just moments ago, approached Ines smoothly, which was unbelievable.
However, he didn’t easily offer his lips. Standing in a place where their breaths had already mixed, he subtly approached Ines, teasingly tempting her.
“My feelings are as intense as they are vicious, Ines.”
As he moved, Ines followed him as if being pulled by a magnet, closing her eyes tightly. Every sensation on her face was awakened by the hot heat.
“You are entirely mine.”
His droplet of sweat brushed over Ines’s nose, touching her cheek softly, and his breath near her ear was felt.
“I am entirely yours.”
“Mine…?”
“Yes, so don’t have any other man.”
“Any other man?”
As always, Ines followed his words as if enchanted.
“Yes, whether it’s love, hatred, pity, or just mere curiosity, don’t have any emotions towards another man.”
“…”
“If it’s an emotion that can be named, don’t give it to any other man but me.”
“Really… You’re a cruel god.”
Carson’s lips brushed Ines’s neck like a butterfly. Her head naturally tilted upward, and her breath caught.
“Originally, gods always have cruel rules for humans.”
“It also demands unreasonable things.”
As Carson’s lips accidentally touched Ines’s lips, the hand that held her shoulder trembled slightly.
“So, what’s your answer?”
“If I say I don’t like it, will you not force me to kiss you?”
At those words, Carson’s movement momentarily stopped. Then, he grabbed Ines’s chin with his large hand. As their eyes met, he smiled so brightly that it was almost tragic.
“No.”
The lips that met head-on narrowed the gap between the two instantly. Ines, who was following his kisses absentmindedly, decided to abandon her plan to find Joseph’s grave on the way back from the sea.
“Are you lost in thought?”
“I wouldn’t be.”
“Focus.”
Following the stern command of the god, Ines strengthened her closed eyes. Although she had a lingering attachment that wanted to confirm the fact that he was dead and buried, Ines decided not to search for him since her god did not wish it.
With Carson’s deepening actions, Ines had a premonition that she would witness not the sunrise but the sunset in the sea today. It wasn’t bad either.
Ines’s feelings towards Carson were as intense and clear as his were towards her. As much as he desired her, she desired him too.
Even if Liam were to search for Ines, chasing the new cats in Randhill that he met, and Mom remained a heavy sleeper.
Having finished her thoughts, Ines stretched her body leisurely. Carson, who keenly noticed her movement, slightly raised the corners of his mouth. Soon, his golden eyes sparkled with a deep color. It was time to immerse themselves in the sea called each other.
Although the route from Randhill’s lordship to the sea via Sweden was a longer way, the imperial couple returned to the station.
It was because of the promise made under the witness of the moon. They had promised to take a train together and see the sea.
The Viscount and Viscountess of Sweden bid farewell to their departing daughter and son-in-law with reddened eyes.
During that time, whether out of affection or not, Liam clung to his grandmother, constantly playing with her hair. It was strange to see the same hair color as his mother.
“Visit the palace next month.”
Since the day of the suit and the war, Carson had not hesitated to use honorifics with Ines’s parents. Although her parents felt uncomfortable, they couldn’t stop him in the end.
“Even though it’s not good for the imperial family to frequently visit the Hwang family in the Hwangcheng…”
Andrew, with his grandson nestled in his wife’s arms, looked at him with a reserved gaze.
“The desire to see you precedes any reservations.”
“Don’t hesitate and come. There are no adults in the palace right now.”
There was resistance, but he literally cleared the way. Holding Elena’s hand without hesitation, Carson allowed himself to be enveloped in her warmth. It was a heartwarming scene, both for Ines watching him and for him.
As he approached, Liam naturally reached out his arms towards his father. Carson, holding the child with one hand, reached out his other hand to Ines. With the sun breaking through, it was an unusually sunny day.
Ines felt the gaze of two pairs of golden eyes, both shining with the same intensity in their black hair. It was a moment of overwhelming happiness.
Observing her daughter’s happiness, Elena, who was moved, embraced Ines. It was the first time she hugged her daughter properly since the wedding.
“You should gain some weight.”
“Yes, Mother. Don’t worry.”
Elena stroked Ines’s arms.
“Are you happy?”
More than ever.
Looking at the two, Andrew applauded loudly and refreshed the surroundings.
“Well, you should hurry now. Even if it’s the Empress, if you’re late for the train, you’ll have to wait for the next one.”
With his light joke, the gathered people naturally dispersed.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
