Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 35
The day of the banquet, destined to be the grand finale, arrived swiftly.
The mansion had been bustling since dawn with the servants’ hurried footsteps.
I, too, rose early and began my preparations, following their rhythm. Once the combative maids finally retreated, I twisted my body this way and that before the mirror.
I wore an apricot off-shoulder dress adorned with lavish ruffles, coiled my long straight hair into a low twist at the nape, and pinned on a diamond hair corsage shaped like a silverbell blossom.
Though far from my usual preference, I was quite pleased with how modest and demure I appeared—precisely the image I needed for today.
Seated before the console, I slipped on my silk gloves.
Glancing sideways at the full-length mirror, I spotted the maids huddled together like chicks, their faces bright with anticipation of praise. Their endearing eagerness made me chuckle softly.
“I’m pleased. Thank you for your hard work. You may go now.”
“But the earrings…”
“I’ll handle them myself.”
Smiling, I took the velvet box from the maid’s hands and dismissed them.
I picked up the letter resting on the console and read it—it was a personal note from Marchioness Weekly, insisting we meet at the banquet.
Antra would undoubtedly attend the banquet, come what may. She must understand that to clear her scandal and restore her image, she must act with brazen confidence, like someone utterly shameless.
Today, I intended to sow discord between Antra and her allies, isolating her completely. Antra had long neglected the noblewomen, relying solely on Marchioness Weekly’s influence. Should she be publicly ousted from the Marchioness’s circle, her social value would plummet—nothing could be more humiliating.
I smirked lazily, dragging a fingertip across my powdered clavicle.
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…?
