To break down that solid fortress, Yurisien added an explanation for today’s events.
“So, what others bring down in reputation, I’m just bringing down in advance. And if I really cared about my reputation, I wouldn’t have done things like the ‘Feed Hyscliff Operation’ that Daisy suggested.”
“Um….”
After hearing Yurisien’s words, Urgen slowly sank into thought. Daisy turned her head silently when sparks flew towards her.
Pretending not to know, she stretched her lips and whistled in a poorly blown tune. It was so ridiculous and trivial that Yurisien chuckled and continued.
“I told you to enter the tiger’s den if you want to catch a tiger. Prince Hyscliff entered the partly empty Hwangseong today to directly catch evidence that Greta, the empress, is a bastard. So, my role is clear.”
“Holding the prince and the knights…?”
“Yes, that’s right. Look at those knights guarding Hyscliff, still surrounding him as he continues to make a fuss. The forces of the Hyscliff faction seemed to be about half the number of the personnel stationed in Hwangseong, roughly estimated.”
“If they show signs of losing to Windsor’s knights, the morale of the Hyscliff faction will be broken. Windsor has returned, we have already confessed our sins to the world. There are those who fear the position just by saying it without doing anything, and the Prince and Princess have already had a hard time. It was a very flashy return.”
“Those who are already broken will be broken once more. Amidst this, if the Prince who came with imperial knights collapses in front of Windsor’s knights, everyone will think of it.”
“Nonetheless, the real Windsor without a throne. The one who wins Windsor’s heart will ascend to the imperial throne…”
Yurisien smiled, supplementing Urgen’s words.
“Greta, the empress, will make a fuss. We can turn the tables by saying that we are plotting rebellion. But Greta, the empress, won’t be able to do that. We have Ivan, so.”
“When Greta, the empress, reverses the charge of conspiracy, claiming that we are plotting rebellion, she will collapse without hesitation if we can prove that she lacks authenticity. If we know for sure that she is a bastard and have evidence, until Greta, the empress, is confirmed to have any, she won’t be able to move a finger.”
“Yes, that’s right. And it’s not like Mitchell, the Duke’s son, has done nothing but wander around. We’ve got some new information. That is, Greta, the empress, is strangely involved with the Earl of Everrium… That is to say, the fact that she is deeply entangled with the Earl’s affection.”
“Although rumors have been quietly circulating for some time, I never thought it was true. If that’s the case, Greta, the empress, will be afraid to seek help easily, fearing the hatred of my father, who pushed her into the empress’s position while hiding the fact that she is a bastard. Well, it’s probably not a situation where the Earl of Everrium can provide help either.”
Listening to the fast-paced conversation between Urgen and Yurisien, Daisy’s eyes rolled around. It was a story that was too difficult and distant to understand all at once. Yurisien, noticing Daisy’s confusion, smiled and summarized the situation.
“So, all we have to do is just sit back, enjoy some tea, and put a piece of firewood each time Prince Hyscliff gets tired of his tantrum. It’s a bit too late for tea time, but if there’s something to watch, it can’t be more fun than this.”
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…?
