Despite boasting loudly that they wouldn’t leave my side for even a moment, the earth fairies were nowhere to be seen during the day. Stella, who had worried about them being annoying if they appeared frequently, found herself subtly looking for them when they didn’t show up.
After various twists and turns, she completed four handkerchiefs representing the seasons and one commemorating the first carrot harvest. She felt a sense of accomplishment after finishing.
She had thought of giving them to the earth fairies when they returned, but they were nowhere to be seen all morning. Stella wondered if they might be sleeping and checked under the bed again, but the bed made of a jewelry box was empty.
The dirt had been cleaned away, but she couldn’t shake the ominous feeling that daily dirt removal might become a routine.
“Stella, what are you doing over there?”
While searching under the bed, she heard a cute and familiar voice. The earth fairies had returned.
“Where did you go? You said you would protect me all day.”
“Oh, we planned to, but we felt reassured because that scary lady was with you.”
In response to Stella’s exaggerated statement, Ark gave an incomprehensible reply.
“The scary lady? Could it be Mila?”
“Yeah. A woman who never smiles and makes scary expressions every day. Mila.”
It was amusing to define Mila as a scary person based on a single expression.
“She’s scary, but what if I end up alone with her?”
“She may be scary, but she likes you, Stella.”
“Mila? Likes me?”
Stella had never felt warm affection from Mila. She was simply grateful not to sense unconditional malice. While Mila did listen to her requests, Stella believed it was merely Mila’s role to do so.
“Yeah, you can tell by the way she looks at you.”
“Uh, you can tell.”
As Ark and Esta confidently spoke as if they were wise philosophers, Oton, who had been silently listening, clicked his tongue.
“Nonsense.”
“Why is it nonsense? We both saw it with Stella.”
“Humans shouldn’t judge so simplistically.”
Oton said with a slightly irritated tone. Esta got upset, and Ark’s expression turned wounded.
“What about Stella then? Can’t you trust Stella too?”
As if asking how she would respond to this, Esta put her hand on her hip and raised her chin. Even if Stella says she can’t trust humans, she probably couldn’t say such things to Stella, who helped remove the cursed pot.
However, Oton, after silently staring at Stella, sighed deeply and spoke in a low voice.
“To be frank, the day Stella knocked down the stone tower was a coincidence. She was startled by Mila’s call and fell over. Right?”
Oton, with his fist against his chest, asked with a cool expression. Stella suddenly found herself unable to speak. It was because Oton’s words were true.
“Well…”
Unable to give a proper answer, Stella fell silent, and Ark, who had been quietly observing, stepped forward.
“Still, what if Stella hadn’t thrown and shattered the lid of the cursed pot? What would have happened to us?”
“I guess she touched it because she was convinced it wasn’t dangerous. Right?”
Oton asked again.
Wow, among the cute earth fairies, there is a being with such calm and rational judgment. Even in the midst of this, the creature was so cute with its short arms crossed in front of its chest, wearing a smug expression.
Stella pondered for a moment on how to answer. Eventually, she decided to tell the truth. Regardless of how she packaged it, what happened that day was indeed as Oton described.
“I accidentally knocked down the stone tower, and knowing that the pot wasn’t dangerous, I shattered it. Oton’s words are true.”
“Look at this. Yet, you always speak as if you were some noble farmer. I think we need to wait and see a bit more. Don’t take it too seriously. I’m saying this because I need to get my act together.”
Oton spoke with a calm voice until the end.
“Yeah. I won’t take it too seriously.”
They looked different, sounded different, and had different personalities; it was truly fascinating how diverse they were.
Iber sat without saying a word, glancing anxiously at Stella and her friends as they talked.
When the conversation no longer continued and came to a suitable conclusion, Iber finally sat back, appearing greatly relieved.
“Oh, by the way, I have something to give you.”
“What is it?”
Upon Stella’s words that she had something to give, the three earth fairies gathered around her. Oton, sitting a bit away on his own, seemed to have a hint of curiosity, although it wasn’t completely absent.
“It’s nothing special, but I embroidered patterns on handkerchiefs, and I thought you might use them as blankets.”
“You’re giving them to us?”
“Really?”
“Th-thanks…”
While Ark and Esta were jumping around in excitement, Iber struggled to express his gratitude without stammering.
After gently caressing Iber’s head with a finger as if he was quite tense, Stella extended a handkerchief with an embroidered snowman toward him.
Iber accepted the silk handkerchief with a look of gratitude.
“It’s so soft; it feels like water is flowing down.”
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…?
