My Contract Marriage Got Interrupted (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 102
After Walter woke up, everything proceeded swiftly and decisively.
Catarina and Blake were desperate to bury Walter’s death under silence, so all Cedric needed to do was frame them as the culprits who had poisoned Walter’s cup.
Not only did he accuse them of attempting to poison Walter, but Cedric also brought forth all the evidence he had gathered thus far regarding the plot to assassinate the Emperor. Faced with such overwhelming circumstances, even they could no longer completely clear their names—so Catarina took full blame upon herself and was confined to an imperial villa.
Though called a villa, it was entirely cut off from the outside world; only food and essentials were passed through a small door. In truth, Catarina had nothing left to do there but await death.
After sending Catarina away to the villa, Cedric remarked as follows:
“Even before leaving for the villa, she didn’t forget to warn me—‘Even if I rot away in that villa, my children will remain unscathed.’ She seems to dream that Blake will become Emperor and rescue her. How amusing.”
It was a scathing sneer, uttered precisely because he knew such a day would never come.
The Emperor would soon succumb to the poison regardless of whether Catarina lived or died—and once that happened, there would be no opportunity left for Blake to interfere before Cedric ascended the throne.
Thus, Blake’s scheme ended in utter self-destruction. Afterwards, several tearful pleas arrived from Regina, begging Odette to show Catarina mercy—or at least allow her to see her once. Odette simply tossed each letter straight into the fireplace,
saying,
“If I had lost Walter, I wouldn’t even have a place to beg for mercy. This is already remarkably lenient.”

Time passed; autumn leaves fell, and white snowflakes filled the bare branches.
Philip, the steward of the Ertman Ducal Mansion, gazed upon the mansion’s winter—the estate to which he had devoted his entire life. The garden, meticulously crafted at great expense and maintained by numerous gardeners, looked exactly as he remembered.
Yet every winter, as Philip watched the garden, he always felt somehow that it looked different.
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.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]

One thing I haven’t been able to understand about situations such as this one, is why anyone would believe a maid has any autonomy in the face of an emperor that wants their body. It’s always the ‘lowly’ peasant’s or maid’s fault for having relations and a subsequent child with a person in a position of power. Perhaps Regina is just one of those that must blame others regardless of reality.
