Yet, why couldn’t I sleep peacefully and spent the night with wide-open eyes?
It seemed like I needed to be honest with myself.
What was the problem with me now?
“…Well, it’s me. I am the problem.”
It hurts, but that’s the truth.
The issue wasn’t external circumstances; it was my emotions.
With Klaus beside me, how rational could I be?
While watching Lumie, who suffers from depression, I learned something. When people are immersed in emotions, they tend to distort reality.
Although my goal in this world originated from emotions towards Klaus, to achieve that goal, rationality was more necessary than emotions.
So, I felt honestly embarrassed.
“What did I expect, being foolish like this?”
I scolded myself.
Even if I revealed that I was a woman, what would change? Did I expect the world to suddenly become bright, and Klaus to instantly become mine?
This novel would be at least a ‘reversal story of a certain duke’s daughter’ according to the original, or Lumie would become the new protagonist in a villainess reincarnation story.
Why did emotions keep trying to precede in a subject I knew so well?
Even if I had hugged Klaus in the secret study, I shouldn’t forget my position.
“Yikes! Oh, hot, hot…!”
I absentmindedly let the teacup spill. Geez, really! Nothing goes well, not even a single thing!
I grabbed my reddened hand and hastily got up. I poured water into a basin and hurriedly soaked my hand.
“Ugh.”
The back of my hand was burning red. This might cause blisters.
Still, thanks to that, I snapped out of my sentimental thoughts. My mind actually cleared.
If I keep blabbering like this for no reason next time, I should probably slap myself. Then my mind would become sharp like it is now.
The next day, before going to work, I met Gungui first. The back of my hand was red and stinging. Although it seemed fine to leave it alone, it could be awkward if there were any additional injuries.
For some reason, feeling embarrassed, I unintentionally mumbled.
“Um, I burned my hand with hot tea…”
Instead of a detailed explanation, I showed my remorseful hand.
Gungui’s expression oddly twisted.
“Oh, tsk tsk. I knew Lady Muselle was studying tea these days, but you should be careful, shouldn’t you?”
Gungui took out ointment from the cabinet. After scooping out a bit with a small spatula, she gently spread it over my reddened hand.
I flinched unconsciously.
“Ah, it stings…”
“Goodness, endure it a bit.”
“Yes…”
While Gungui applied the ointment and wrapped my hand with a bandage, she casually murmured.
“Usually, people who hold pens have pretty hands, but Lady Muselle’s seem especially delicate.”
“Ahaha.”
For a moment, I felt a bit awkward. Even though I thought my hands were rougher than other women’s since I occasionally shot arrows, it seemed I couldn’t deceive a doctor’s eyes.
“It’s fortunate that you’re not left-handed.”
“Haha, that’s true. Thank you.”
I bowed slightly to Gungui and sighed with relief after coming out.
“Phew…”
From now on, I should be careful not to get hurt. If I get seriously injured and have to show my body to a doctor, everything will be over.
In a way, it was a good thing that I caused a fuss in the middle of the night, wanting to drink tea. Thanks to that, I gained such an important lesson.
Come to think of it, life seems to have no insignificant moments.
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…?
