But seeing my body weaken against my efforts, I felt a sense of emptiness. Do I have to wait for the day I die again? During that time of leading a helpless life, I met Serdis. He, the prince of the Requies Empire, reached out his hand to me, who was being tormented by dancing at the banquet. A person who shone like a jewel, alone in the splendid banquet hall. I realized facing him,
‘He is my savior.’
Standing by his side, I felt my breathing ease and my body lighten. It was a feeling of liberation that I had experienced after many years. I decided to stick with Serdis by all means. Because that was the only hope for me to live.
I visited the palace incessantly to meet him. After diligently seizing opportunities, I managed to obtain Serdis’s pet bird which he cherished. Thanks to that, I was successful in attracting his attention.
“That was a close call. Thank you for your help.”
“If you’re thankful, you could at least buy me a cup of tea.”
I only wanted the familiarity that would make me breathe easier, but he blushed and asked me timidly,
“…Would you like to go on a date with me?”
It seemed I had caught deeper attention than expected.
“Why, of course.”
Of course, I was all in.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Achoo!”
I, who was enjoying tea on the café terrace, hastily covered my mouth due to a sudden sneeze.
“Aren’t you cold?”
My body shivered at the jacket that warmly wrapped around my shoulders immediately after. The golden emblem attached to the jacket caught my eye.
“I’m fine…”
“You’re not fine. You’re dressed so lightly while your body is weak.”
My savior, Serdis, asked worriedly.
“People might misunderstand…”
“Let them. You’re more important to me than others.”
The wideopen empire’s wing pattern seemed to hang on my back. But the coughing didn’t seem to stop.
“Cough! Cough!”
“This isn’t good. Let’s go inside. I’ll order some hot tea.”
As he worried and approached me, my pain gradually eased.
Serdis picked up even my bag and extended his hand. A smile found its way onto my face without my knowing at his long stretched fingers.
The golden hair warmer than sunlight and pomegranatelike eyes that resembled his plump cheeks. His wavy long hair going down his neck suited him well. Whenever I met him, it often felt like I was in a different world. It seemed like flowers bloom where he passes, and no dark clouds enter the path he walks, right?
It wasn’t just me feeling that way, Serdis who has become an adult stole the hearts of many young girls.
‘He really is handsome.’
On top of it all, I who approached him to survive, was also visually enjoying it.
“Is there something on my face?”
Serdis asked at my fixed gaze.
There was something indeed. His handsomeness.
“No, it’s just…”
I, like a shy girl, pulled the blanket handed over by the waiter up to my neck. Serdis closed his eyes, laughed, and looked at me with his chin resting in his hands. Under his persistent gaze, I hid my face in the blanket.
“Is there something on my face?”
“I thought I saw it wrong. But it’s true.”
“What is it?”
“You are pretty.”
Blech.
The toast I ate in the morning almost came up.
‘Did he just call me pretty?’
As befitting the protagonist, she was candid. Still, there was satisfaction in dressing up in a beautiful dress. Serdis certainly seemed to notice her.
“Thank you for your kind compliment.”
She replied with a bright smile, taking out a pill from her bag and swallowing it. The medicine had no effect, but it was to reassure the overly worried Serdis. He smiled quietly at her and asked,
“But, do you take medicine every time?”
“When the weather gets cold, I tend to take it once a day. I was very sick in the winter, so my parents are particularly concerned.”
She lowered her eyes, pretending to be weak. The more he thought she was sick, the more he would worry.
“You said you’ve been sick since you were a kid. Is the medicine prescribed by your doctor?”
“My primary doctor usually provides it, but this time it’s a medicine made from a newly discovered herb by my father. I’m trying it for the first time today, but it’s quite bitter.”
“You’ve had a hard time, Anette.”
“No, not at all. If I consistently take my medication, I’m not sick at all. Probably, I’ll feel completely better after eating the macarons.”
Despite the bitter expression on her face, she tried to laugh cheerfully. Even to her own eyes, her pitiful appearance drew sympathy from Serdis. How naive.
‘But why do I feel so dizzy?’
Since a while ago, she felt like she was floating.
Is it the effect of the medicine? It couldn’t be.
Though it was a new medicine brought by her father, it was no different from usual. Yet, strangely enough, her heart pounded and her head ached.
‘If I say I’m sick again, he will probably send me home.’
She held back with all her might. Pinching her thigh in place of her throbbing head, she endured until the macarons arrived.
The special macarons ordered as a return for Serdis’ favor.
The macarons, studded with inseason fruits, were appetizing at a glance.
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.]
