House of Ludwig.
Late at night, Anna slightly opened the door to Riche’s room.
In the spacious bed inside, a bulging quilt and silverhaired head were visible.
‘She’s sleeping soundly.’
Feeling sleepy and going to bed earlier than usual, Riche was fast asleep.
She seemed to have spent quite a bit of energy worrying about the squirrel.
‘She won’t wake up at dawn, will she? I should go to sleep, too.’
Anna closed the door with relief, and in the hallway window, a round full moon was visible.
(This is a time separator.)
[I’m Lrtiomida!] [Why are you here? Breaking the contract with the biggest star?] [Contract with me!] [No, contract with me!]By the lake in the monster forest.
Guided by Pythons to the lakeside, Riche was surrounded by stars.
“No. I won’t break the contract, so I won’t make a new one.”
Despite Riche’s firm reply, the stars persistently asked to contract.
Having difficulty refusing, Riche heard the splashing water sound in her ear.
[You said no. Why are you poaching someone else’s contractor?] [Squeal!] [Here it comes!] [Run away!]It was Pythons who had come out of the lake. The stars around Riche quickly fled.
Returning to its brilliant light as when they first met, it stopped in front of Riche.
“Are you okay now?”
Riche shaded her eyes with her hand and asked Pythons.
Judging by the bright light, it seemed he had purged all the human world’s poison in the lake.
[Completely.]Satisfaction was evident in Pythons’ noble voice.
Then, he transformed into a squirrel for Riche’s sake, climbing onto her shoulder.
“They didn’t notice you escaping the castle, did they?”
At Riche’s words, Pythons chuckled.
“They wouldn’t have. Don’t underestimate my perception manipulation ability.”
It was a kind of illusionlike ability. For example, making a pile of clothes on the bed look like Riche, or making Riche’s presence less noticeable than a roadside stone so she wouldn’t get caught by the guards when going outside.
Last time Riche snuck out of Trapet’s dressing room without the Treang siblings noticing, it was thanks to Pythons using this ability.
“Forgot how the monsters didn’t even glance at you when we came here? They won’t know it’s a pile of clothes until morning.”
True enough. Riche nodded.
When Pythons suggested going to the monster forest, Riche’s biggest concern had been the monsters.
That monster had even troubled Deon. How would Pythons and himself face it?
But worrying was useless.
“Krrrrr…….”
Even when the monster came close to their noses, it failed to notice Riche and Pythons and went its own way.
“Time to go back?”
“Yeah. There’s nothing left to do now. This is enough.”
Upon hearing the words of departure, the stars hiding around pleaded with Riche not to go.
When Pythons made a threatening noise, they screamed and fled into the lake.
As Riche and Pythons left the lakeshore, the forest seemed to change its appearance, as if waiting.
“Over here.”
Walking guided by Pythons, Riche stopped at a tree where the moonlight had settled when he noticed something.
“A wolf?”
“A wolf?”
Riche echoed Pythons’ words.
In the meantime, Pythons, who had come down from Riche’s shoulder, sniffed and observed the wolf from the side.
“It’s a young one. Seems to be injured?”
It was a small wolf.
Blood was matted in its fur, and its arched upper body heaved rapidly and repeatedly.
“Why are you just standing there?”
Pythons, who had been examining the wolf’s condition, noticed Riche standing idly and asked.
A usual contractor would have run to it before him. What’s up with that meddler?
Riche licked his lips and said,
“That kid is an ability user.”
“What?”
Pythons jumped in surprise.
There was a reason Riche initially failed to sympathize with Pythons’ words.
What she was seeing was not a wolf but a lump of black energy.
Pythons narrowed his eyes, then relaxed them.
“I don’t like to call it a remnant of those guys, but its condition is serious, and I can’t say anything.”
“Is the condition that bad?”
The wolf was crouching, so the energy covered its entire body.
Riche’s eyes couldn’t see the exact state, so he had no choice but to ask Pythons.
Pythons nodded.
“There are wounds that seem to have been cut by a sword. The bones are broken too. It will die in a few days if left like this.”
Tsk, tsk. How did an ability user end up like this?
Pythons clicked his tongue, gazing at the rippling black energy, Riche spoke.
“We have to help.”
“Why?”
“It’s in pain.”
“You want to purify it like you did to your brother? It’s still going to die. The pain isn’t from the side effects of its abilities.”
“Can’t the star’s abilities fix it?”
“I told you. Healing is not my specialty. I can help it not feel more pain, but that’s it.”
“How……”
“Want me to tell you?”
The smile on Pythons’ face, with both corners of his mouth raised, could not have been more malicious.
Riche quickly shook his head and carefully picked up the young wolf.
The young wolf cried out, “Ning.”
The warmth felt from its skin was warm.
It might have seemed like an ordinary, pitiful wolf that had suffered an accidental injury if Riche were not Letium.
The black energies clung to Riche as if magnetized.
“What are you going to do?”
Pythons asked.
“You said it will die in a few days.”
Riche cautiously stroked the wolf. The blood had started to dry, and the fur felt stiff.
Although it wasn’t visible, he could feel it through touch.
The wolf in his arms was in great pain.
“……I don’t want to just watch it suffer.”
It was unthinkable that someone would appear in the monster’s forest to help this wolf.
If he was the only person who could help, he could not ignore the wolf.
Riche continued to walk forward, holding the wolf that burrowed into his arms.
“Ugh, do whatever you want.”
Pythons climbed onto Riche’s shoulder.
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…?
