I Will Live for Your Death (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 135
After the ball ended, gossip columns and newspapers usually buzzed for several days.
After all, how could there be just one or two incidents at an imperial ball attended by most of the nobility?
From rumors about a noble scion’s scandalous escapades to praises declaring which young lady was the most beautiful, and who was the most sought-after in the marriage market—they routinely filled the pages.
But this time was different. Every newspaper and gossip magazine exclusively covered the Empress Consort’s pregnancy.
Yet it was premature. The Empress still had her chance, and it was impossible to immediately declare the Empress Consort’s child as the next heir.
The problem was the Empress’s identity as the surviving descendant of a traitorous house. Although Claudius had so far held back the nobles’ resentment, this incident carried a strong likelihood of delivering a decisive blow to the Empress.
Was the Empress truly finished? Everyone’s attention turned to the imperial palace.
Joyful laughter never ceased in the Empress Consort’s palace. It was as if they had completely shaken off the gloomy atmosphere that had hung over them during her confinement, replaced now only by bright and cheerful conversation.
Claudius strode straight into the Empress Consort’s palace. Holding a drawn sword in one hand, he radiated an unapologetically menacing aura—entering felt more like an invasion.
He had just heard the diagnosis from the physician who had examined Celina.
Under the supervision of Marchioness Geminia, the physician had entered the Empress Consort’s palace and declared with his entire career—and life—on the line:
“The Empress Consort is undoubtedly with child.”
Even with the Emperor’s blade hovering near his throat, the physician’s words remained firm—a certainty hidden beneath his trembling. Claudius’s molars ground together involuntarily.
All the symptoms Celina had shown lately suddenly aligned: sudden fatigue, a slightly elevated body temperature, and increased irritability.
Most tellingly, her menstruation had stopped. Though her cycle had always been irregular, this was her first experience with such bodily changes—it was likely she had responded too slowly.
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…?
