“That’s all you have to say, Sesenia? Typical.” Elzer, holding the child, looked at Sesenia as if she were pitiable. That was indeed all she had. Baseless claims. But Elzer failed to see her husband, the Emperor, whose expression changed instantly behind her.
“Your words could be seen as an insult to the royal family. Are you that stupid?”
“That’s all you have to threaten me with, Elzer? I’m going to die anyway, so why does insulting the royalty matter? You’re the stupid one, Elzer.”
You’re ruined.
At a glance, her niece or nephew, the child born by her sister, was undoubtedly a royal.
Golden hair. A trait only the royal family could possess. It was obvious the child was the Emperor’s. But doubt had already been planted in the Emperor’s mind.
‘At least you won’t be happy for the rest of your life, sister.’
Sesenia smirked, looking at them.
“If Prince Ian had no connection with Elzer, he wouldn’t have become a witness so eagerly. Right, Your Majesty? But that’s all I have to say. I won’t grovel anymore. And be careful. A sister who makes poison for her own sibling… Elzer, who’s so intimately involved with Prince Ian… might not leave you alone, Emperor.”
The Emperor’s expression turned fierce. Seeing his look, Sesenia clamped her mouth shut as if she knew much but chose not to say more. The seed of doubt she had sown was already taking root among everyone present, including the Emperor.
“The Emperor couldn’t have children.”
Despite spending nights with various women, the Emperor was unable to father a child. There were rumors that the Emperor was unable to produce an heir. Therefore, he treasured the child Elzer brought more than anyone else.
But this only fueled the Emperor’s suspicions.
Even Ian’s gesture of comforting Elzer by stroking her shoulder amplified their doubts.
“Execute Sesenia, who’s only spouting nonsense. She’s making absurd claims!”
“Nonsense…”
It was then that Elzer realized the Emperor’s expression had changed towards her. Frighteningly. Coldly.
“Elzer. It seems you really wanted to silence my sister.”
“No, it’s just, just…”
“You really used poison?”
“That… I did it because I was afraid Sesenia would say something outrageous and confuse you. It was to prevent her from speaking nonsense!”
“So you admit to using poison.”
The reason why Elzer used poison on Sesenia wasn’t clear. Perhaps she feared Sesenia would reveal their conversations in prison before her death.
Or maybe she wanted to prove that she could bring down Sesenia on her own.
Regardless, Elzer was foolish.
Then.
“Waaaah!!”
The child in Elzer’s arms started crying. To escape the situation, Elzer had pinched the child’s arm. Sesenia, who was facing them directly, saw this clearly.
“Your Majesty, your child has started crying. What should we do… Maybe he’s cold. He’s been in this scary place for too long.”
Despite this, the Emperor did not move, as if he wanted to hear more.
“Kill her.”
It was then that Sesenia spoke.
“What?”
“Just kill me. You’re going to kill me anyway, right? Even if there’s a trial, it won’t stop my execution. Even if I talk, you won’t take my side. So just do it.”
Who could say to be killed? But Sesenia was resolute. Like someone wanting her death to come quickly. As if she had something up her sleeve.
“Why? Can’t do it now?”
“Of course, I can. Sesenia Vestel, you are sentenced to death.”
That was the end.
“I, Sesenia Vestel, wish for death.”
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…?
