When Siode emerged into the human world, he found himself lurking near the Rodante family mansion. Fearing detection by Guinevere, he had sealed his own magic, leaving him unable to cross the mansion’s protective barrier.
With no choice but to wait hopelessly for his target to leave the mansion, Siode learned that Guinevere had given birth to a son named William. Another peculiar detail he discovered was that Guinevere had recently taken in a girl, but only registered as her guardian without officially adding her to the family register.
Adopting a child wasn’t unusual, but the timing right after the time regression was noteworthy.
‘Who is she?’
She didn’t seem like a disciple, nor a child born out of wedlock during that time. As he pondered and waited, Guinevere and her son William left the house. Siode quietly followed them.
Their carriage, emblazoned with the Rodante family crest, entered the academy. With all eyes on the carriage, Siode blended into the crowd, maintaining a safe distance to avoid Guinevere’s detection. His goal today was not Guinevere, but to confirm the existence of her son.
Listening to the murmurs around him, Siode learned that William Rodante was there to take the knight department’s examination, not the magic department’s. This was unexpected, but Siode thought it worked out well.
If William enrolled in the academy, Siode could approach him secretly to obtain his oath, away from Guinevere’s watchful eyes.
But his thoughts of a smooth operation were mistaken.
“Next!”
As William Rodante slowly walked towards the training field, Siode felt his heart drop.
Dragon magic.
The power was reminiscent of Guinevere but even closer to nature. Up close, it was unmistakable. No one but a dragon could possess such a nature-aligned magic. Siode was captivated by William.
His face was the spitting image of Guinevere, with black hair like hers. And his eyes… were silver-gray. Just like his. It was strange, feeling this way just because of the eyes.
“Why did you choose the knight department instead of the magic department?” William’s opponent asked.
William’s expression darkened. Siode impulsively stepped closer but was stopped by students assisting with the exam.
“I can’t use magic.”
‘Can’t use magic?’
Despite the strong magical presence, William resignedly said, “I can’t. I have no talent for it.”
Siode thought he understood why.
Escaping from the scene, Siode wandered aimlessly.
‘Is this even possible?’
Siode was a young dragon, born after the Dragon-Human War, a conflict between dragons and humans that occurred ten thousand years ago. The war ended with the dragons’ victory, but the Lord erased all records of the war in the human world, making it as if it never happened.
Since then, the dragons secluded themselves in the Valley of Dragons, forbidding contact between humans and dragons. The dragons unanimously agreed to this decision.
Humans proliferated rapidly, and occasionally, transcendents like Guinevere arose to challenge the dragons. While dragons stagnated and dwindled in numbers, humans continued to grow in population.
If humans begin coveting dragon scales, bones, and hearts again, dragons would face extinction. Dragons have occasionally infiltrated human societies, hindering their progress and causing wars or disasters to control their population.
Siode encountered Guinevere on Lord’s orders.
‘It seems another transcendent has appeared in the human world. Go and investigate.’
‘Should I eliminate her?’
‘No. She’s not an easy target. Avoid conspicuous battles; just gather information. Hopefully, she has no interest in the Valley of Dragons.’
Siode was chosen because the older dragons were uninterested in Lord’s command. He entered the human world with a light heart, met Guinevere, and…
‘Is this even possible?’
Is it possible for a child to be born between a dragon and a human? Many dragons have secretly infiltrated human society for intelligence, but none have fathered a child with a human.
Yet Siode remembered William’s silver-gray eyes and his magic. And his inability to use magic.
‘It’s impossible to wield dragon magic with human language.’
He laughed hollowly. Unbelievable. A child from just one night, not only born from a dragon and human, but a miraculous being.
Siode rushed to Lord’s dwelling, waking and pestering him.
‘Is this possible?’
After hearing the explanation, Lord sighed.
‘It’s possible.’
Lord’s face was stern. There couldn’t be a clearer answer. Siode was convinced.
‘He’s a human.’
‘But his magic…’
‘Still, he’s human.’
Siode couldn’t accept it. The child clearly inherited his magic. Not driven by newfound paternal instincts, but an undeniable truth.
‘He’ll live and die as a human, never knowing flight. Don’t get attached.’
Siode bristled.
‘You urged me to father offspring, and now…’
‘I said a dragon, not a human child.’
Siode bit his lip.
‘Only hatchlings born from dragon-formed eggs are true dragons. Those born human never awaken. If young dragons don’t produce eggs, our kind will vanish. It’s a duty to continue our lineage.’
Lord, tired of repeating himself, rubbed his temples.
‘Don’t get obsessed with the child. Focus on your mission. You wouldn’t fail now, would you?’
‘I can’t.’
‘Do you want me to intervene?’
Siode glared at Lord. He knew he couldn’t defeat the older, stronger dragon. Clenching his teeth, he answered.
‘Just prevent time regression.’
Lord, exhausted and old, leaned back.
‘Right.’
Siode left the lair. He needed to meet Guinevere.
‘To meet and…’
He’d left her, unaware of carrying his child. He had no defense against any reproach. But what could he say now?
Siode buried his face in his hands.
Guinevere was engaged in her usual research on time regression magic when she suddenly felt a massive surge of magical energy. It was a foreign aura, one not permitted by the barrier, and it was alarmingly close.
Guinevere immediately wrapped her hands in magic. The hastily gathered force was crude but potent. She swung her fist forward.
Thump.
An ordinary person would have been obliterated, but her adversary was unharmed.
“It’s been a while.”
Guinevere paused.
“Siode.”
Standing there was a man with shimmering silver hair and silver-gray eyes, unearthly in beauty, fitting of a god.
Without hesitation, Guinevere swung her fist again. The man effortlessly dodged and dispersed her magic with a wave of his hand.
“I took one hit, but twice is a bit much. It hurts, you know.”
Siode smiled ambiguously, burdened by guilt, but Guinevere wasn’t amused. She asked coldly,
“Why have you suddenly appeared?”
Alarms blared chaotically. Her wristwatch also rang, but Guinevere ignored it all, fixing her gaze on Siode.
“I have something to say.”
“What…”
“Shall we go somewhere quiet?”
Guinevere nodded. She turned away from the time regression orb, pressed the chrono button on her wristwatch, and heard Hadel’s voice.
[Master! What’s happening?]“It’s nothing. I… just blew something up.”
“No. I’ll talk to you later.”
Quickly ending the call, Guinevere grabbed Siode and teleported to a secluded forest. There, she kicked Siode without infusing magic.
“Ugh.”
Siode took the hit, knowing that if Guinevere had attacked in earnest, he would’ve had to dodge.
Guinevere spoke sternly to the pretending-to-be-hurt Siode.
“Speak. What do you want to say?”
Siode sighed.
“There’s something I need to ask first…”
Guinevere waited patiently.
‘Did he see it?’
She hadn’t managed to hide the time regression orb in time. She had teleported with Siode hastily to conceal it. But Siode might have recognized it in that brief moment.
‘If he did, what should I do? Should I kill him?’
While Guinevere pondered coldly, Siode asked a piercing question.
“Is he my child?”
Guinevere was completely taken aback by the unexpected question.
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.
