The unpleasant stickiness and pungent smell irritated Line’s nerves. It was somewhere unfamiliar.
Line was stuck to a hard chair, her eyes covered.
Not only was she unable to move her hands and feet freely, but the fact that she couldn’t see anything ahead was also terrifying. Above all, she was already in a beaten-up state.
Outside, the sounds of fighting and arguing could be heard. It was impossible to grasp what was happening.
“Oh! She’s awake! Grab her!”
Without the strength to sit in the chair after suffering severe beatings, she tumbled to the floor as one of them forcefully lifted her back into a sitting position.
“Is this the right person? The boss told us to confirm well before killing. She should’ve been beaten up just enough. Can’t recognize her swollen face.”
The phrase “confirm well before killing” flashed through Line’s mind. She recalled the incident where a hitman, not herself but Juhyuk, had harmed her while infiltrating her house.
“Small fries like her need to be taught a lesson. Let’s see. It seems like the right person~. Should I take off the blindfold? Ah, we were told not to look at us anyway. We’re going to kill her anyway, so what’s the point?”
It seemed that the orchestrator of this plan had issued various instructions to leave no traces this time.
“But doesn’t she look somewhat familiar? Where have I seen her…?”
The word “familiar” made Line curious about who they were. She furrowed her forehead and looked around, but she couldn’t see in front of her.
“Oh! That prosecutor! Right? The one who hit Boss Choigyung! Ah, that’s right! That’s right! One by one! The one who tried to uproot our organization…!”
He vividly remembered that day, raising his blood pressure.
“Ah! That fearless prosecutor who headbutted and slapped us, right?”
Before he could finish his sentence, one of them grabbed Line’s collar and lifted her. Line’s light body was easily lifted. She was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but she bit down hard on her teeth and endured it.
Through their conversation, Line vaguely felt she might know who was in front of her. And as if sensing that she might not survive, she closed her eyes tightly.
“I heard rumors that your head flew off, but seeing you like this, it’s nice to meet you again. How did you end up being a fly’s life here? What’s the use of memorizing the legal code? You’ve ended up dying without being able to collect bodies in our lawless world.”
“Dare…! Don’t talk about the law with your filthy mouth. Whether I die here or get thrown away, you will be judged by the law.”
Facing the imminent end of her life without returning to the prosecution with reinstatement in sight, she didn’t know she would end her life like this. However, she found meaning in revealing her injustice.
The time spent with Song Kang, upholding the prosecutor’s life without bending for justice, passed through her mind like a will-o’-the-wisp.
With all her strength, memories of the things she had loved circulated in her mind. Looking back, both as a legal professional and as an individual, she felt she had done well.
Still, if there was one regret, it was not expressing her sincere feelings to Song Kang. The thought that she should have treated him better weighed heavily on her heart.
“This is still bothering me!”
That guy tightened his grip on Line’s collar and slammed her to the ground, exerting even more force on the hand that held her.
“Just thinking about that tragedy wakes me up even when I’m asleep!”
It was a threatening tone. Line had no intention of succumbing to such threats.
“Try it. I’ll send you off comfortably. We’re people with feelings, unlike those heartless people like Prosecutor-nim. Admit it! Apologize for being wrong!”
At the nonsensical words, Line let out a bitter laugh. Those who were observing her behavior were taken aback by her fearless attitude.
“Hyungnim, it seems like talking won’t work. Let’s quickly handle this and leave.”
At that moment, an unpleasant touch passed over Line’s cheek, and she moved her head nervously.
Then that guy grabbed Line’s collar again and dragged her. In response to her approaching movements, he spat toward her direction.
“Oh! Seriously! This insane person! Doesn’t he know I’m still a prosecutor!”
That guy struck Line’s cheek forcefully. As a result, her small and delicate body toppled over to the side. Line bit her lower lip tightly, making no sound.
“So, you guys are the bad guys. Call us gangsters; you know we’re gangsters, right? Where, those bastards who can’t even be proper gangsters…”
Breathing became difficult for Line, and she took a deep breath with a loud sound.
“Ha… Whoever hired you to do this, tell him. Whether I live or die…! Under the law, things won’t be easy for him.”
“Like this!”
They spewed unspeakable profanities and stopped the assault just before Line’s breath was about to cease. Line fell without any movement.
“Ha, haa… Check if she’s dead.”
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…?
