Larisa was already discovered with her waist half-submerged in the seawater. William hurriedly ran over and caught Larisa’s arm.
“What are you doing?”
Larisa asked with a pale face.
“Will, William? How did you know?”
“How did I know? I found you with alchemy.”
“You can do that with alchemy?”
William forcefully pulled Larisa out of the sea, who was talking nonsense. He shouted in frustration.
“What the hell were you doing?”
“Don’t get mad…”
William wasn’t angry. He was just anxious and restless. He sighed and softened his voice.
“I’m not mad. I’m just curious. What were you doing?”
Then Larisa, in a frail voice, said,
“It’s better without me. William, I, I have a lung disease.”
“What’s that?”
“Lung disease is a contagious illness.”
So, was she saying she was thinking of dying? William chuckled bitterly. Larisa pushed away from William’s arm and said with an unexpectedly firm voice,
“Just let me go now.”
“What?”
“Just let me go.”
Larisa’s face was resolute as if she had made a firm decision. Only then did William notice traces of blood on Larisa’s clothes, and his vision became dizzy.
“Let’s go back to the inn.”
“Let go of this!”
“Should I carry you? Or would you walk willingly?”
Larisa cried out,
“Who do you think you are! What right do you have to pity me!”
“Lara.”
“I haven’t received anything from you. I’ve lived proudly with my own strength all this time! Why do you suddenly pity me?”
Larisa began to wail loudly. Regardless of her words, William dragged Larisa to a place where the waves couldn’t reach. Larisa staggered on the sandy beach and eventually sat down.
“Who do you think you are to pity me?”
Larisa cried loudly again, and blood splattered. William wanted to cry, but tears wouldn’t come. He felt only fatigue, like a person without the strength to cry.
“I’m not a pitiful person, William.”
“Okay.”
“So, don’t pity me.”
“I got it.”
He knew that such responses weren’t enough. William knelt beside Larisa. He tried to wipe away the blood on her lips with his thumb, but it only smeared.
William gazed at Larisa’s vacant face for a moment and then kissed her. Larisa, with widened eyes, started to mumble.
William pressed Larisa down on the sandy beach, grasping her feeble hands attempting to push him away with one hand.
“Don’t… If you do this, you’ll get infected too…”
“It’s okay.”
William comforted Larisa, smiling as he gently stroked her disheveled hair. Larisa no longer resisted. The first kiss tasted of bitter blood and the scent of death.
‘What would it have been like in the past? Did we share a kiss like this back then? Why am I dreaming of something like this?’
William realized there was something he needed to say before it was too late. Words that had to be spoken now, or they might never be said.
“I love you.”
Larisa stopped crying. She looked into William’s reddened eyes and kissed him on the lips.
“I’ve loved you in the past life and will continue to do so in the next life.”
The current Larisa seemed unaware of this story.
“Lies.”
Larisa, who had been staring at him blankly for a while, burst into a soft laughter as if finding it ridiculous. Smiling, William lay down next to Larisa.
On the morning beach, there were only the two of them, and the sound of the waves seemed to console them. Larisa whispered softly.
“If there’s a next life, will you truly love me then?”
“You’re saying you love me now?”
“Not now, in the next life.”
William said indignantly.
“Who kisses a person claiming to love them when they don’t really love? Seriously, love now.”
“Not now. It’s not the time now.”
Larisa closed her eyes as if tired. Even just closing her eyes made William’s heart sink.
“Lara?”
“I’m cold…”
William hurriedly held Larisa and ran along the beach. Without even having a chance to remove the blood-soaked sheets, he laid her on them and called a doctor. However, the same reluctant doctor shook his head again.
After that day, Larisa began to have a fever. Given her weakened body suffering from pulmonary disease, it was inevitable that her condition worsened as they entered the winter sea.
William held Larisa’s unconscious hand and said,
“This is a dream, Lara.”
Desperately.
“When we wake up from this dream, both of us will return to our childhood.”
Desperately.
“Let’s start everything anew. I’ll do everything you want then.”
Whether to love or not. Tell me anything. I’ll listen to whatever you say. I hope we can meet again with smiling faces. William gently kissed Larisa’s lifeless lips.
It was time to wake up from the dream now.
William couldn’t wake up for several days, even on the day he had to go to the academy. Despite the news of William being unwell, Grenavir didn’t leave his room.
Grenavir and Shiod also couldn’t fight anymore because of their concern for their son. Shiod brought food on a tray, worried about her, saying,
“Vera, let’s have a meal.”
“Did the food turn into poison now?”
Grenavir replied coldly. Understanding her sharp emotions, Shiod placed the tray on the table.
“Trust William. He’ll get up.”
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…?
