“You’re not doing this for Isabella, but to make her more manageable for yourselves. To think that parents, who can’t even love their children, who can’t even wish for them to truly succeed, only want to make them more manageable. And you call this family.”
For a moment, his face darkened. A different look was revealed. Was it anger welling up somewhere in his chest?
So I said nothing and looked at him. He looked sad for some reason. What made him so sad, and so angry?
“The name of family…… is ultimately worthless and meaningless.”
That word seemed to hurt my heart. Even though I think family is worthless, the emperor…… Why is he making such a sad face?
Although he looked angry, I couldn’t take my eyes off his sad figure.
But as if she didn’t see his expression, the countess was busy retorting.
“What?”
“There’s no need to hear any more nonsense.”
The emperor stood straight, and once again drew his sword from his waist with a sheath sound. The countess, completely unprepared for the situation, stumbled backward and fell.
“Your, Your Majesty……!”
Watching the countess, the count fell flat beside her.
“Do I have to kill all of you to make you come to your senses?”
But the count’s reaction completely defied our expectations.
“All of this is the fault of Countess Loenli, Isabella’s mother.”
Obviously expecting the count to help her up or beg for mercy in front of the emperor, the countess’s face swelled with rage.
“You, you…….!”
“I did nothing wrong. I only did what she asked and even tried to stop her. But she didn’t listen. So…… So only me……”
The count’s clear intent, perhaps worried that he would be harmed, was palpable.
“Hmm. So all this is the countess’s fault, and you have no guilt? You want only yourself to be spared?”
“Yes.”
“You don’t seem to have any loyalty to your spouse or family. No integrity.”
Rather, these actions seemed to erode the emperor’s anger. To put it more precisely, there seemed to be a sense of futility, as if he wondered if he had to kill these wretched creatures.
“My mood is getting fouler.”
I firmly held his hand.
“Stop.”
“What?”
“You don’t need to get angry because of me. My family, my mother, and father are people you don’t need to touch. They will destroy themselves eventually.”
If Shasha and I were to leave, no, if Shasha were to leave, they would be incompetent. That was a fitting conclusion for them. There was no need to force a conclusion on them.
“Selfdestruction…….”
They were a family without anything proper. I, Isabella, had grown like that. An existence merely grown without love. Therefore, I might not even care about what happens to each other.
Because of that, maybe Isabella became an emotionless doll under the parents who wanted to turn their child into a puppet that moved at their will.
Yet, somewhere in Isabella’s heart, there must have been some feelings left for the family.
Judging by the wish to avoid such a dismal death.
Even though she didn’t want to stop the emperor, she wanted to stop him.
Honestly, letting them die like this might be the best method. Cutting the sprout in the bud.
Because they could be people who might cause problems later on. Because they are people who would resort to all kinds of acts to get Shasha back.
I felt a desire not to see the family who were everything to Shasha die in front of Shasha, a contemptible feeling I had, and a desire to see them fall apart on their own.
“You are similar to me too.”
“Yes?”
“You care about those worthless ones.”
He chuckled and retrieved his sword again. Nevertheless, quite an oppressive feeling was felt. The emperor’s anger still made the air heavy.
“There’s no need to stay here any longer.”
I felt a little warmth from him who had been cold.
“Thank you for forgiving me, Your Majesty.”
“It’s ‘Your Royal Highness,’ not ‘Your Majesty.'”
“It’s all thanks to Isabella. So be grateful to Isabella all your life. If it weren’t for her, I would have really killed you.”
It seems he was serious about killing, not just threatening, judging by the emperor’s face hardening every time he said it.
I slightly bowed my head to such an emperor.
“I also…… thank you.”
“You have nothing to thank for. Just……”
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…?
