As Hertian jokingly mentioned, the idea of him directly trading my information wasn’t a bad one.
“Shall we pretend to fight for a moment?”
“No, thank you.”
Hertian reflexively refused.
“Well, at least hear me out before deciding.”
He still doesn’t know my plan!
But it seemed that Hertian didn’t want to cooperate with my plan this time. Seeing him continuously shaking his head in denial indicated his unwillingness.
“Everything else is fine. Whether you use me or I become bait is okay, just please drop that.”
“Just pretending, right?”
I grabbed Hertian and spoke. He looked straight into my eyes, twisted his eyebrows, and responded.
“No, thank you.”
His tone was firm.
“To me, that would be no different from torture.”
He chewed his lips as if even the thought was dreadful.
“Sigh.”
I lost.
It was not a role I could force onto someone who called it torture. Besides, he was my partner. If my partner didn’t want to do something, I wouldn’t force him either.
“If you’re curious about the prophet’s identity, I can bring her in right away.”
He drew his sword.
“If it was just about removing the robe, I would have done it earlier.”
The opponent was a petite woman. If she wanted to force her identity, she could have revealed it sooner. But she probably didn’t want her to know that I knew.
So that I could see her often.
‘I’ll find out why she wants to kill Serdis.’
“There seems to be another option.”
Hertian put the sword back in its place and approached me again.
As he said, there was another way.
The enchantment attached to the prophet.
“It seems like you’re a genius.”
“Did you just realize that? I’ve known it for a long time.”
Hertian smiled naturally. Even though he hadn’t explained everything yet. When I looked at him curiously, Hertian preemptively defended himself.
“I supported you as a close friend.”
“A little too much.”
“Be careful.”
Although his tone seemed like he wouldn’t pay any attention, I decided to let it go this time.
Instead, he took out the bracelet connected to the enchantment. It was the same color as the enchantment I gave to Hertian as a gift. Originally, it should be connected to Hertian’s location, but due to an error, it was connected to Violet.
“Enchantment, right?”
Hertian recognized it immediately.
“Yes, it’s connected to the enchantment I bought with the one I bought earlier.”
I had also attached the tracking enchantment I purchased to the prophet.
And from today, another map was added here.
“I’ve been here before.”
The location was pinpointed to an alley where commoners lived.
Is she still there?
Or did she leave after leaving the robe?
I hoped to find out her identity.
“This is definitely the place we saw.”
Still, Hertian praised me for providing good information.
“That’s right. We should come back here later.”
“I’ll go check it out. And if you happen to meet the prophet again, please don’t provoke her. We don’t know what someone willing to kill can do to you.”
He added a nagging comment.
“I’ll go check it out. And even if you happen to meet the prophet again, please refrain from provoking her. You never know what someone willing to kill might do to you.”
He added some nagging remarks.
‘But I’ve already provoked her.’
It’s probably best not to mention that.
“They say it’s more unsettling since he’s someone who has observed the lady for a long time. We don’t know what he might know.”
“Oh, now that you mention it, he did say something like that.”
A conversation exchanged in the hazy smoke.
Words that had lingered in my mind.
“He said he would lift my curse if I cooperated in killing Serdis.”
He knew about the curses of Lian and Belladonna. And he spoke as if he knew how to lift the curse.
“Did he really say that?”
Hertian, with a suddenly stern face, asked persistently.
“Did he truly say he would remove the curse from the lady’s body?”
Hertian’s pupils enlarged suddenly. Heat rose within his round, black irises.
It seems like I said something unnecessary.
“I wouldn’t believe such a story. I’ve done numerous studies, but there’s been no way to cure this disease.”
Even though she’s a prophet, she probably doesn’t know as much as me, a possessor. She doesn’t know that I’m a possessor. Knowing the original content was strange, but it meant she didn’t have as much information as I did.
‘Perhaps she made nonsense to try to figure me out.’
Even if she actually lifted my curse, I had no intention of cooperating.
“…If that person really knows how to lift the curse?”
A glimmer of hope crossed Hertian’s eyes. It seemed he wanted to believe the prophet’s words.
Maybe if I were the girl from the past life who wanted to live more than anyone else, I might have been swayed by that story.
‘Because I wanted to live more than anyone else.’
But now, at this moment, Hertian seemed more desperate than me.
“It’s just playing with my weaknesses.”
His appearance was probably what the prophet hoped to see. So, a corner of my heart felt painfully saddened.
“Even if it’s not true, we should check.”
Hertian said firmly.
It felt alien to me.
“If it’s true?”
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.]
