Leah took a deep breath to leap out, but her lavish dress got caught, pinning her to the carriage door.
Now, she was helplessly heading towards the cliff edge.
The shadow of death loomed before her.
“Aaaah!”
With a loud crash, the carriage plunged down the cliff into the darkness.
Leah’s desperate scream tore through the night.
The carriage shattered as it tumbled down the steep cliff.
Barking dogs and unfamiliar human presence, specifically men’s voices, woke Leah. She struggled to open her eyes.
‘People…’
Leah shifted her gaze sideways but felt nothing below her neck.
‘A dog, one, two, three, four. No, one person.’
Three hunting dogs and a man standing against the moonlight.
Following his high-quality hunting boots, Leah saw a shotgun in the hands of a large man.
His black hunting outfit was adorned with a flashy golden eagle emblem.
When the wind blew, his cape fluttered like wings.
Leah tried to open her eyes wider to see the man’s face, but it was difficult.
He seemed to have black hair and sharp eyes.
As Leah’s consciousness faded again, she heard the man’s voice.
“Being able to die gracefully is also a stroke of luck. May you go to a better place.”
The despairing words of the man were the last thing Leah registered in her consciousness.
It felt as if she had been holding her breath underwater and had just surfaced to meet the air.
She breathed very slowly and gently.
It was as if her soul was dissipating like smoke, only to rekindle again.
Leah experienced a terrible nightmare.
But eventually, her body felt as light as a feather, as if floating in the air.
‘I must be dead.’
Otherwise, how could she feel this free without any excruciating pain?
She drifted like a dandelion seed in the wind.
‘Have I become the wind in death?’
The world transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors, and the wind carried her to an unfamiliar place.
She landed weakly in a magnificent castle.
It was a stormy night, and a woman and a man were arguing in the rain.
“Terran, why do you keep postponing the wedding? Why did you even engage Grace if you were going to do this?”
“Grace, try to whine a bit less.”
Leah was perplexed.
‘What am I witnessing? Is this a dream?’
Why was she forced to observe the lovers’ quarrel of complete strangers?
Then she caught a glimpse of the man’s piercing gaze.
‘It’s the man I saw at the cliff.’
Instinctively, Leah tried to flee.
But she was sucked into a whirlpool and drawn into the body of the woman named Grace.
No matter how much she struggled, it felt like sinking in a swirling quagmire.
Once her consciousness was fully absorbed, it faded away.
‘Death was not the beginning of fear but a respite.’
Leah finally felt peace.
She occasionally experienced headaches and severe coughing, but someone always came to place a wet cloth on her forehead.
It didn’t end there. When the time came, bitter medicine was also poured into her mouth.
After repeated fevers and pains, the sweat cooled off her body.
“Uh…Ugh!”
As Leah moaned and fluttered her eyelids, hurried footsteps approached.
“Miss, are you regaining consciousness?”
A woman with neatly tied black hair and freckles on her nose appeared in her blurry vision.
‘That’s not Sara. Then who is she?’
As Leah wondered, the unfamiliar woman began to scold.
“You know the Duke’s temperament, don’t you? Why did you insist on getting married on a rainy day?”
‘What? It wasn’t raining on my wedding day. And Allen isn’t a duke.’
“Men get bored when women pursue them too aggressively, haven’t I told you repeatedly?”
“Wh…who?”
Leah struggled to speak, her dry lips barely moving.
The woman seemed like a maid, but Leah was curious about her name.
“Heavens! You forgot my name after being sick? I am Pauline.”
“Oh! Paul…ine, I want to get up.”
Pauline helped Leah sit up and propped her back with several pillows.
Leah scanned her surroundings. It was unfamiliar yet not entirely strange.
Her room was more lavish, with premium furniture, lighting, curtains, and statues. Moreover, a scent she had never smelled before permeated the air.
‘A scent of loneliness and deprivation.’
Suddenly, the door opened, letting in a refreshing breeze.
Familiar sounds of military boots approached, and a man with a powerful presence stood before her.
‘Who is this man?’
Leah vividly remembered him.
He appeared repeatedly, even in the moments her consciousness faded and when she became a drifting seed.
His jet-black hair contrasted with his pale skin, and his eyes, fierce yet lost in thought, shone with a luminous black hue.
His stubbornly high nose and firmly closed lips appeared perfectly sculpted.
Undeniably handsome, yet what was truly overwhelming was his intense presence.
“I’m relieved you’ve awakened, Grace.”
‘Grace, am I?’
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.
