“No, Ha Hyun! Back then, Elder Brother Ambassador even helped me, and I was taller than you! Hey! You haven’t even had your birthday this year! You’re not really thirteen!”
I ignored the shouting of Elder Brother Ryu coming from behind me.
By the time I reached a distance where the hall housing the disciples was visible, I spotted the silhouettes of two people near the entrance of the hall. They were individuals with good builds, their long robes fluttering in the winter wind.
The faint light from a nearby fire pit barely illuminated their faces.
Upon recognizing those faces, I involuntarily let out a short gasp.
“Ah.”
The two people who immediately turned towards the sound were none other than my Master and the Ambassador Elder.
“Ha Hyun?”
“Master, Ambassador Elder!”
I ran towards them with a bright expression.
The reason being, not only had I found the Master I was looking for, but also because I sensed that Ambassador Elder standing next to him would agree with my current thoughts. He wouldn’t try to discourage me like Elder Brother Ryu had earlier.
‘I once had a conversation on a similar topic with Ambassador Elder.’
I have to prove myself, so to speak.
Of course, things were different from that time as I was now on good terms with Elder Brother Ryu. But what if things hadn’t turned out well?
Then this test would have been a great opportunity.
And even if that wasn’t the case now, it was still a good opportunity and an option. Even if it seemed somewhat showy, nothing bad could come out of accomplishing something.
From the start, the significance lay in the fact that I, who had received support through the family’s decision, was doing something ‘even if it was just for show’.
I opened my mouth as I stopped in front of them.
“I have come to see you t—”
“What is it that brings you here at this hour? Do you have business with your Master?”
Ambassador Elder interrupted my greeting and asked first. Just then, Master reached out and adjusted the collar of my robe, which had loosened a bit as I ran.
Caught off guard for a moment, I soon relaxed and smiled in response.
“Yes, I’ve come to see Master.”
“Do you have a particular reason?”
It was the first time I had suddenly come to visit so late, so Master immediately asked with a slightly surprised look. Having nothing to hesitate about, I quickly nodded my head.
“No, it’s not a big deal… I heard that the newcomer Master brought will be taking a separate entrance exam.”
The Master seemed surprised that the subject came up, but ultimately confirmed it.
“That’s right. It was decided today. You heard quickly.”
“Yes, I heard it from the executioner. But Master, about that exam…”
Before I could finish, the ambassador suddenly interrupted.
“You want to participate as well?”
That was indeed the correct assumption.
I hesitated and looked back at the ambassador. Likewise, the Master looked at him with surprise. Before I could speak, the Master addressed the ambassador.
“Master, there is no reason for Ha Hyun to take the exam now.”
“No, actually we had that conversation when you weren’t at the volcano.”
Pointing to me and himself alternately, the ambassador said,
“If the people of the volcano do not recognize this child, then what? We concluded that time would resolve it, but still.”
Hearing this, the Master furrowed his brows.
“Recognition? This child is already a disciple of the volcano. The clan has decided it, and I am teaching them. Who doesn’t recognize that…!”
I stared at him, wide-eyed. Ever since I joined the volcano, the Master had always been calm and gentle towards me. It was the first time I heard such a raised voice from him.
But the ambassador seemed unphased and asked with a casual face.
“Does recognition on the surface mean that one is fully accepted? You know that’s not the case. Do you not think that the senior made the situation this way for that reason?”
“…Did the senior create this situation?”
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…?
