Riga’s face turned red. However, he could not decide whether he should scold Mayana in this situation or take another action.
With a distorted face, he muttered to himself and reluctantly took a few coins from his pocket and put them in Mayana’s hand, saying,
“Anyway, you can’t be here anymore. Go out and find another job.”
Mayana let out a scoff.
“You call that an explanation?”
“It doesn’t matter what it is! Now get out quickly. If the mistress finds out you’re still here, the house will really turn upside down!”
Riga forcibly pushed Mayana out.
“What does it matter to me if the house turns upside down or not! Damn it, don’t push! What have I done wrong, Riga? How can you do this to me when you know everything!”
Mayana struggled to resist, but her energy drained away when she saw the other employees watching her with curious eyes from various places inside the house.
“Ugh!”
A large servant kicked Mayana out the door. As he laughed and went back inside, someone threw out a bag. It was Mayana’s.
The huge front door slammed shut with a bang! Mayana looked at her wornout bag with a gap in the lock, and the few coins in her hand, and swallowed her rising anger.
‘Damn it, life’s a mess! What’s all this for! I’m really going crazy!’
(This is a time separator.)
Mayana was born the first daughter of a poor farming couple.
She did not spend a happy time in a cradle like other babies. Her parents were so poor that they could not afford a proper baby bed.
Instead, Mayana was laid on a straw mat roughly tied with a string. Even now, in her twenties, she could vividly recall the pain of the straw poking through the thin cloth and pricking her tender flesh.
At first, she thought she was dreaming, then she thought she was crazy. Then, at about three years old, reflecting on her past memories, she had no choice but to admit.
That her original self had died.
And that absurd things like reincarnation really existed.
Mayana’s life was not easy. Though she hadn’t committed any particular sin in her previous life, it was to the point of injustice. Even worse, her parents gave birth to five more children after Mayana. Taking care of her siblings was all Mayana’s responsibility.
‘I suffered day and night in that remote countryside, and I’ve come all the way here…….’
Mayana was crouched at the corner of a secluded building, staring blankly at the passersby.
She had arrived in the capital of the kingdom, El Rautica, four years ago. She was employed as a maid for the Povek Viscount two years ago. If she could, Mayana would have liked to kick herself for deciding to become the Povek Viscount’s maid two years ago.
A futile thought. Mayana shook her head back and forth. Rather than thinking about this, she should be worried about where to stay tonight.
She remembered hearing the maids whispering that there would be heavy rain from the evening. Seeing the dark clouds gathering from the west, it seemed they were right.
“But I don’t have any money.”
Mayana mumbled blankly.
The few coins that the butler Roll had given her were just enough to buy some cheap bread or a couple of lumps at a street vendor. She couldn’t afford to stay in an inn. Maybe if she begged and pleaded, she could sleep in a barn…….
It was then. Mayana was startled by a sudden warm feeling in her side and looked down. And then, recognizing the source of the feeling, she seemed to relax and collapsed.
“What are you? Where did you suddenly appear from?”
The one snuggling against Mayana’s side was a puppy. Quite old, its fur was shaggy, and tear stains were dirty.
But Mayana didn’t care and hugged the puppy tightly. The puppy obediently nestled in her arms, licking her cheek.
“If it rains tonight, I’ll hold you and avoid the cold a little. In return, you’ll be able to escape the rain in my arms. What do you think? Isn’t it a good idea for both of us?”
Mayana whispered, rubbing her forehead against the puppy’s grimy fur.
The puppy, which had been quietly panting in her arms for a while, suddenly broke away. A rumbling sound was heard from the distant sky. Mayana unwittingly chased after the puppy with a bewildered face.
“Hey, where are you going? You’ll catch a cold in the rain. Come here, huh? I’ll hold you so you won’t get so wet.”
But the puppy continued to run ahead, pattering its paws.
Could it have its own shelter? Mayana thought. Stray dogs and cats knew every nook and cranny to escape rain, snow, cold, and heat. If so, that would be fortunate, but…….
“How far are you going?”
Mayana picked up her pace to catch the puppy. But she was stopped by a shabby fence. The puppy slipped under the fence and darted across the yard overgrown with grass into someone’s porch.
Mayana blankly watched the scene. A very old woman was gently stroking the puppy’s head. Then she quickly turned her head toward Mayana.
“Chels, do we have a guest?”
Then the puppy, as if answering, woofed! in response.
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.]
