I Possessed the Wicked Empress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 35
The next day, two proposals arrived at Henri’s office.
One was a proposal written in impeccably neat handwriting on paper embossed with an ornate pattern.
The other was a proposal written in slightly freer script on plain, undecorated paper.
Henri, hoping Valière’s proposal would prove superior, first read her lavish document with a look of favoritism.
From opening to closing, Valière’s proposal followed a flawless format with not a single unnecessary detail.
During the day, nobles would ride through the city in extravagantly decorated carriages, offering a spectacle to the capital’s citizens; at night, Emperor Henri and Valière would appear in the streets against a backdrop of unprecedentedly magnificent fireworks, showering gathered crowds with petals blessed by the temple.
In between, various street performances and cultural events would be held to soothe the weary hearts and minds of the people.
In a sense, it was the textbook example of a festival proposal.
Moreover, the idea of publicly hosting concerts and exhibitions normally inaccessible to commoners seemed somewhat innovative in its own right.
“Hmm. She clearly put in considerable effort. I should consider having the temple-affiliated choir perform in the streets. And since many nobles sponsor excellent orchestras, securing their support shouldn’t be difficult.”
Relieved that Valière’s proposal wasn’t bad at all, Henri began reading Ermedilin’s document.
“What on earth…?”
From the very first line, Ermedilin’s proposal completely defied Henri’s expectations.
Even her handwriting appeared unusually free-flowing, suggesting she hadn’t used a scribe as she normally did.
[Personally, I would like to request the cancellation of most events for the Founding Day Festival. At a time when the epidemic has not yet been fully overcome, holding an event that draws large crowds together risks spreading the disease among the people.]
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…?
