I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 35
Felix was the first to wake as morning came.
He liked the slender, long fingers running through his hair. Leniel’s hands were too delicate and soft to belong to a man.
And though they must have endured much hardship, they were incredibly gentle.
He even wondered if that soft touch might make his own rough skin seem fragile.
Each time his hair was stroked, he felt a pleasant breath and scent.
Occasionally, those fingers would brush against his earlobe—and strangely, the tickling sensation wasn’t felt in his ear but in his heart.
It was as if a butterfly had fluttered into his chest and was dancing about freely.
The strangest part was that, unlike his tense mind, his body was slowly growing languid.
Yet, at the same time, he felt a peculiar tingling all over.
Felix was confused whether this feeling was desire or murderous intent—until he felt Leniel’s flat chest against his cheek, and his desire immediately faded.
Without meeting his eyes, he felt no lust whatsoever toward this man’s body.
He had always known himself to be unquestionably heterosexual, yet never had he felt so uncertain as he did now.
Only when he looked into Leniel’s eyes or saw her smile did he feel something that, though slightly muddled with murderous intent, was clearly desire.
He wanted to hold her, and kissing her felt quite pleasant. It was true that her unmanly soft skin made him envious.
But each time he realized her body wasn’t that of a woman, his desire vanished without a trace, like evaporating alcohol.
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…?

Who is the man with her? I hope someone can tell me, as I haven’t been reading the chapters regularly.
It certainly looked nice, why don’t you add an illustration?
I would appreciate it if someone could clarify for me
