The class had ended a while ago, but the princesses were just now coming out of Muge Castle.
This was because the renowned meticulous Crot Vivantus approached Princess Stella right after the class ended. The expressions of the princesses leaving the castle were uniformly dark.
He had never attempted to converse with the princesses for any purpose other than the class. He would enter with a facial expression that seemed overly sensitive, quickly pour out the contents of the class, and disappear, as if he were born solely for the purpose of teaching.
Annette, who discovered that Crot was recognized by the emperor as a talented individual, tirelessly tried to befriend him, but all in vain.
Even providing precious medicine permitted only for the royal family due to his frail appearance did not capture his interest. Presenting gold overtly was also met with indifference.
Even when Annette gave him a rare book, claiming that it would definitely elicit a response, the result was the same.
Why did he speak to Stella, and even express a desire to visit the Verdura Castle? It was perplexing no matter how much Annette thought about it.
In Annette’s view, he was someone who had no intention of becoming close to the princesses.
Annette had no desire to persist in futile endeavors. Above all, Crot was not a particularly appealing figure to Annette.
In the weak and fragile body that felt like it would fly away with even a slight breeze, Annette’s eyes, always nervously bloodshot, made one feel uncomfortable just by meeting them.
Annette had stopped paying attention to him at some point and didn’t even bother talking to him outside of classes.
Her pride was hurt to the point of feeling like she could die. No matter what anyone said, Annette was the central figure in the Plant Zone.
However, the perfect balance of power was disrupted one day by the sudden appearance of Stella, like an unwelcome guest.
While everyone was deeply engrossed in their thoughts, Lillian’s oblivious remark disrupted the already tense atmosphere.
“Did the same thing happen with Lady Melissa last time, and now again? Why do people gather around Princess Stella?”
Despite Caitlin’s attempt to stop her with a discreet gesture, Lillian chose to continue. Ignoring Caitlin’s attempts to signal her to stop.
“Isn’t it strange? Could there be some charm about Princess Stella that we don’t know about?”
“There can’t be such a thing! Right?”
Caitlin raised her eyebrows while looking at the others, but everyone avoided eye contact.
Lillian briefly showed a disgruntled expression, but due to someone pinching her arm from the side, she stopped speaking and sealed her lips.
“Princess Annette, it’s nothing to worry about. Why would Crot Vivantus try to become friends with Princess Stella for any unsatisfactory reason, right?”
Caitlin tried to comfort Princess Annette and eventually sought the agreement of the other princesses. Starting with Caitlin’s question, everyone was relentless in trying to console Annette.
“No one would want to be friends with such an insignificant princess.”
As if trying to compensate for her previous mistake, Lillian took the lead in spreading rumors about Stella. Then, to make a good impression on Annette, everyone started gossiping about Stella.
“Did you see the dress she wore today?”
“Oh, right. She wore that dress last time too.”
“What a lack of dignity. Why doesn’t she choose a different dress?”
“Maybe because she doesn’t have money? Have you all forgotten about the golden teacup?”
The laughter of the princesses echoed in the gardens of Muge Castle. Annette, who had been feeling down because of Stella, felt somewhat better thanks to Stella’s gossiping companionship.
As the princesses stepped forward to bid farewell to the returning princesses, Annette, wanting to appear composed, smiled gracefully and shook hands with the princesses who had enthusiastically spread gossip about Stella.
Splat!
It was then that something flew onto Annette’s dress.
“Oops! What’s this!”
A mud clump that flew from somewhere in the bushes shattered, leaving Annette’s dress in a mess. At the sound of Annette’s scream, the princesses turned around, wondering what had happened.
However, soon enough, due to mud clumps flying at them as well, chaos erupted in that area.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
“Ugh! Who is it!”
“It’s coming from over there!”
“No, it’s from the opposite side.”
The princesses jumped and dodged around in an attempt to avoid the mud flying from all directions, but the mud clumps stubbornly stuck to them like magnets.
The belatedly noticed maids tried to block the princesses, but it was futile. No matter how the maids tried to shield the princesses, the mud clumps strangely and persistently targeted only the princesses. It was as if ghosts were playing tricks.
“Where has everyone been?”
Stella asked, looking at the four earth fairies who disappeared and reappeared at once. However, they just giggled without giving a clear answer.
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…?
