The man in my dream remained faithful to the concept until the end.
Very commendable. But now, I’m quite busy.
“Don’t make me talk. I have to return to reality quickly.”
At my firm words, the man’s expression distorted once again.
Whether he liked it or not, I pinched both cheeks with a strong force, conveying my desire to wake up quickly.
Squish!
“Uh…? Aaah!”
At the same time, a scream burst out.
I held onto my tingling cheeks and blinked my slowly widening eyes.
It hurt. A lot.
Strange…? This is definitely a dream, but why… does it hurt?
No matter how lightly I pinched, my fingers on my cheeks were ticklish. It was at that moment when the vivid pain was briefly taking my attention away that a soft sigh was heard.
“What kind of strategy is this now? Are you pretending to be insane because you think I can’t handle it? If not, trying to evoke sympathy?”
The man slightly lowered his gaze and, with an expression of boredom, flicked his own eyebrows.
Thick eyebrows brushing between his fingers.
As I stared at that absentmindedly, I realized something strange.
“…I can see every single eyebrow. Can a dream be this vivid?”
I focused again and examined the man.
He was remarkably handsome enough to be mistaken for a dream, but he was undoubtedly a living being.
The vivid blue eyes with slowly descending eyelashes and a mole were clearly visible.
“Could it be that this is not a dream?”
I needed certainty.
I cautiously extended my index finger and lightly jabbed the man’s abdomen.
As expected, the man’s abs were incredibly solid.
And above all… it was ‘real.’
“This isn’t a dream, it’s reality…?”
Realizing that and slowly blinking my eyes, the man’s large hand quickly grabbed my wrist.
“I told you not to touch my body without permission.”
The man’s gaze became even colder than before.
“Touching my cheek wasn’t enough?”
His voice carried a freezing chill.
For a moment, I found myself frozen in his momentum.
I tried to calmly assess the situation.
“That person said I hit his cheek. Moreover, it seems like this is reality.”
To get out of this situation, it seemed urgent to calm down the man in front of me.
Even if I were that man, I wouldn’t just let someone who suddenly slapped me go easily.
First… let’s apologize.
“Well, I don’t know how this happened… I’m really sorry for slapping you on our first meeting. I’m sure the teacher will be angry enough.”
“…First meeting? Teacher?”
“No, but! Isn’t it awkward for me too? Just a moment ago, there was a ‘pathetic husband’ in front of me! So, I slapped him to wake him up, but why are you here instead…”
As my explanation continued, the man’s expression gradually twisted.
He even let out a forced laughter, as if finding it absurd.
“Well. I might not believe my words either. It’s fortunate if I’m not treated like a crazy person.”
However, it seemed that what made the man feel absurd was different.
“…’Pathetic husband.'”
The man echoed my words with an expression that seemed hard to believe what he heard.
Uttering those words a few more times, he eventually stiffened his jaw and looked down at me.
“My wife seems to have various ways of humiliating her husband.”
My wife?
Oh no, this person is as out of his mind as I am.
Bursting into laughter without any mirth, I mumbled like I was making a senseless joke.
“No, hey, are you saying I’m your wife?”
The man, seemingly displeased with my reaction, furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
“Yes. You are still my wife, the Grand Duchess of the Twins’ Grand Duchy. Unfortunately, that’s the truth.”
“Ah, yes. The Grand Duke. And it’s the Twins’ Grand Duchy…?”
At that moment, a sudden sense of foreboding silenced my words. Simultaneously, a certain memory passed through my mind like a fleeting lantern.
If it’s the Twins’ Grand Duchy, it was the territory of the male lead in the novel I was deeply immersed in, .
‘Could it be that I’ve transmigrated into a novel like those isekai stories?’ I entertained that thought briefly. However, I soon shook my head in disbelief. It was such an absurd idea… There’s no way such a dreamlike event could happen in my life.
Anyway, that novel was quite interesting. What was the name of the male lead, Cedric…
“Ah, Cedric Twins.”
Extracting the memory with difficulty, I quietly uttered that name. Upon hearing it, the man twisted the corner of his mouth with an expression that revealed neither liking nor disliking.
“You pretended to have lost your memory just now, but unfortunately, it seems you haven’t forgotten my name.” He said it as if he wished I had forgotten everything, including his name.
‘My name? Does that mean I’ve truly transmigrated into the novel?’ I looked around again in disbelief at the seemingly real surroundings. The furniture, the interior, and even the man’s clothing were all medieval-style. When I lowered my head, I found myself draped in a lavish dress, and red hair flowed down near my chest. It indeed seemed like I had transmigrated into the novel.
‘If that man is the male lead Cedric… who am I?’ An inexplicable ominous feeling washed over me. Despite not knowing for sure, my intuition suggested that I wasn’t the female lead.
‘Moreover, if the male lead is looking at me with such hostility in this isekai setting…’ It was at that moment when Cedric uttered the dreadful ‘name.’
“……Rebecca Twins.”
Even though I didn’t know for sure, my intuition told me that I wasn’t the female lead.
‘Moreover, if the male lead is looking at me with such hostility in this isekai setting…’
It was at that moment.
The dreadful ‘name’ spilled out of Cedric’s mouth.
“……Rebecca Twins.”
The face that looked down at me became even colder, like the winter wind.
“I hope the words about divorce are sincere.”
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.]
