I Just Raised Men for Revenge (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 2
“Why?”
“Shouldn’t you say you’re sorry first? Even if it was a mistake, that’s still what you say first.”
At her resentful outburst, Elzer snorted and gave a curt nod.
“Sorry.”
She said the words, but she knew all too well her sister didn’t truly mean them.
“…….”
“Yeah… But this isn’t something a simple ‘sorry’ can fix.”
“You say you’re sorry, yet still insist it can’t be fixed. You really are stubborn.”
As if she herself were some enlightened modern woman, Elzer clicked her tongue at her younger sister. Yet Sesenia refused to stop speaking.
“Do you honestly think this is reasonable? If common sense actually existed in your head, you never would have cheated with your own sister’s husband in the first place.”
“What do you want me to do?”
“I may have been foolishly passive until now, but not anymore. Unfortunately for you, Sister. No matter how hard you try, you’ll always just be a woman who spreads her legs for any man—and a trashy thief who stole your sister’s husband. Understand? Trash that can’t even be recycled.”
“Hey!”
“Not ‘hey.’ Standing before you is the Empress of this nation. And you, no matter how hard you try, will never become Empress. Who knows—maybe if time could be turned back, things would be different. If only we could go back to when the Crown Prince’s engagement was still undecided. But I am already Empress now, and I intend to punish you, Sister. Unlike before. Take her away.”
Caught completely off guard, Elzer’s face turned deathly pale.
“Wait, hold on. You weren’t like this before. You just threw me out.”
“Yeah. I did. But not anymore. I kept letting it slide… and you still haven’t come to your senses.”
“Wait. Empress. No—Sesenia. This isn’t right.”
“Not right? What’s not right? I may not be able to do anything about you, the Emperor, but as for my own sister… I can’t just let this go. I’m going to make it public.”
In an instant, the Emperor, who had been lounging carelessly on the bed, bolted upright.
“Sesenia. Make it public?!”
“All this time, because you’re my husband, I did nothing—I was afraid of tarnishing your name. But this matter will be formally brought to light, and proper punishment will be given to Sister Elzer.”
“Wait, just… just don’t do that, okay? Huh? Sesenia. Between us, does it really have to come to this? Besides, you know full well it won’t benefit you in the slightest. Women are normally supposed to be gentle and obedient. Why must you be so fierce about this?”
Perhaps, even for her own sake, she had tolerated her husband’s infidelity.
Because she was Empress—because she didn’t want to become gossip fodder—she had turned a blind eye to the Emperor. But not anymore. Sesenia was resolute.
“Empress. Let me just say—”
The Emperor rose naturally from the bed and grasped Sesenia’s shoulders. But as he stood, the blanket draped over him slipped off limply, revealing his naked body. Perhaps that was why Sesenia’s expression hardened even further.
“Don’t touch me. You’re filthy.”
Sesenia brushed off the spot on her sleeve where his hand had touched. Her face was sterner than ever.
“Sesenia. How dare you speak to your Emperor like that?!”
“An Emperor must act like an Emperor to deserve the title.”
‘Do you even have the slightest idea how I’ve endured all this time?’
Without sparing a glance for his outburst, Sesenia turned to the knights standing by the door.
“Take that woman and lock her in the dungeon.”
“Yes…? B-but….”
“What’s troubling you? Is it because she’s the Emperor’s mistress? Or because she’s the Empress’s sister?”
“……Will you be alright?”
“I’ll handle this myself. So take that filthy creature away.”
“Yes.”
In the end, the knights offered no further protest and escorted Elzer outside. For a moment, Elzer’s eyes turned toward the Emperor still in the room.
Sensing the danger now shifting toward himself, the Emperor showed no reaction as Elzer was dragged away. He was too busy watching Sesenia’s expression from beside her.
‘But… I’m tired of this too.’
The moment she looked at him, the Emperor put on a sly, ingratiating smile and nudged her gently.
“Sesenia. This was just… a very brief lapse in judgment. You know how much I love you.”
She had believed in his love.
They both believed in each other. She had thought his actions were merely temporary indiscretions. That was why she had wanted to protect him—why she had never brought anything to light to avoid harming him. But now, Sesenia no longer felt the need to protect him or this place.
“I’ll be going back.”
“Wait… just hear me out. Sesenia. Sesenia…?!”
But that was all.
Sesenia ignored the Emperor’s words. She simply returned to her own room.
Time passed. Though it had been a storm in her life, the days flowed by monotonously.
All Sesenia could do was abandon everything—her duties as Empress, her responsibilities as head of the Marquisate—and refuse to leave her room.
No matter how despicable the Emperor’s actions, she had never once neglected her duties—until now. Now, she let everything slide.
She was simply exhausted. Just remembering seeing her sister and husband together—just recalling that surge of rage—had made her want to execute her sister immediately and expose everything publicly. But as time wore on, a deep sense of helplessness settled over her.
“I heard the rumors.”
Until the day Ian, her only friend, came to visit, Sesenia had refused to see anyone—not even eating properly.
Slumped on the sofa, Sesenia slowly rose like a corpse coming to life and looked at him. Her head swam from days without food, and her body swayed unsteadily.
A true friend would have steadied her, but Prince Ian merely watched silently.
Her vision darkened briefly before clearing again. Sesenia gave a weak, awkward smile.
“……Rumors like that spread awfully fast.”
“So what will you do?”
“……Yeah. Back then, I was so angry… I wanted to execute my sister on the spot… but she’s my only sister.”
“Exactly. If you had done that… your aged father would have collapsed from the shock.”
Ian chimed in as if he’d been waiting for her to say that. His unnaturally detached reaction—showing no concern when she staggered or moved—was striking. Of course, Sesenia didn’t doubt him in the slightest.
“What should I do…?”
Ian was nearly the only person Sesenia could confide in. With her other close friend having recently passed away, Ian was all she had left. Prince Ian—her husband’s younger brother, but also her one true friend since childhood.
He seemed to ponder for a moment before speaking.
“Don’t do that. Just send her far away.”
“Far away?”
“My mother owns a villa up north. It’s uninhabited, and it only gets colder with time—a place where no one can interfere. Send her there.”
“Oh.”
“You can’t bring yourself to act against family. And your sister… no matter how grievous her crime, execution seems too harsh. You don’t really want that, do you?”
Strangely, Ian sounded as if he cared about Elzer, but Sesenia dismissed it as her own oversensitivity and simply nodded.
“Yeah… you’re right.”
“Do as I say. It’s the best way to punish her while minimizing your guilt.”
Still, Sesenia couldn’t decide easily. She understood exactly what she was choosing—and precisely how her choice would change things—so her decision took a long time.
After that day, Ian visited Sesenia several more times, pressuring her to follow his advice.
As if it were the only possible course.
In truth, it wasn’t Elzer who was cornered—it was Sesenia. She wanted to give up on everything. So she had no choice but to do as he wished.
“Alright. I’ll do as you say.”
On the day she made her decision, she informed the Emperor directly. As always, the Emperor no longer cared about the woman he’d spent the night with. To him, women were like daily changing dishes—consumed according to fleeting taste. Elzer was no different.
He seemed only concerned about the trouble exposing this affair might cause him.
It was the other side that made a fuss.
Their father, Marquis Vestel, tried to dissuade Sesenia.
“I’m holding back my urge to kill her, Father.”
“She’s your sister.”
“Precisely because she’s my sister, this is unforgivable. Back when it was time to marry, you called the Crown Prince a womanizer and claimed he’d never become Emperor—so you married me off in her place. Now that he’s firmly Emperor, you covet him for her.”
“That’s…”
“Tell me, which sister in this world covets her younger sister’s husband? If it were up to me, I’d tear her limb from limb… But I’m just too exhausted, so I’m letting it go. So please… please don’t push me any further.”
It had always been this way. She was never his priority. Perhaps because Elzer resembled their beloved late mother so closely, or maybe because Elzer, unlike her own reserved self, was overflowing with affection.
Though he always claimed not to favor either child, the Marquis showed unmistakable bias.
Today was no different. Sesenia wore a sorrowful expression.
“Just as always, you’re not on my side. Even though I’m the one who was wronged, you don’t even ask if I’m alright.”
“Sesenia…!”
“It’s fine. It’s always been this way. I have no expectations, no resentment. My heart is so resigned that even if we could start over, I wouldn’t care about winning your love anymore.”
That was her heart. For over twenty years, Sesenia had never known love. She had always been Elzer’s replacement. Favoritism was normal—because she was the younger sister, because she was the younger sister, she was expected to yield to her elder. She’d heard that refrain countless times.
Yet perhaps she’d still hoped—just in moments like this—that he might finally take her side. That before defending Elzer, he might at least ask her, “Are you okay?”
‘Even in this moment, you still choose your elder daughter.’
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.]
