“I heard it was for establishing a fund for the poor. How much are you planning to raise, to be so determined?”
“Hahaha, Your Highness, please don’t take it too seriously. Doesn’t Elfreda seem very enthusiastic?”
The reason for hastily holding the banquet was undoubtedly Evangelin.
As the original story was unfolding, all events related to Evangelin would inevitably lead to an connection with the male lead, Klaus.
In such a situation, it’s evident that I couldn’t stand Lumie’s personality and ended up causing trouble, even though I made a family tree, telling her to study comfortably.
“…….”
I sighed inwardly.
This chaotic situation should take effect properly.
Why does Lumie keep feeling uneasy despite being convinced that she’s the protagonist of the villainess story? Her impatience seemed to reach an extreme level, comparable to Evangelin, who went so far as to host a grand event.
There’s an old saying that hastily drunk water can become a hindrance.
It’s unsettling.
We entered the reception room. Marquess Mecklinger personally poured tea for Klaus, who was already seated.
“Elfreda seems very excited, Your Highness. Being your partner seems to make her very happy.”
“It’s not the first time.”
Klaus replied indifferently.
It’s nonsense to say it’s not the first time. This is the first time I’m his partner as Lumie, not Elfreda. Although they attended a similar event in the original story, Lumie spilled wine on Klaus’s clothes then. But at that time, they were not partners.
Marquess Mecklinger’s tone became more subdued.
“Your Highness, I’m also aware of what happened between you and Elfreda.”
“…….”
Klaus sealed his lips uncomfortably.
“But Elfreda is not a foolish child swayed by rejected emotions. Even though she was rejected once by you, I know very well how such an act would be perceived among nobles as she chooses another nobleman as her partner at this party. There might be a misunderstanding that Elfreda is engaging in a secret affair with a noble from another house rather than someone from the royal family.”
“A misunderstanding? Does that mean it would be perceived as a fact that a noblewoman comes out and marries, my dear Marquess?”
“Oh, then does Your Highness insist on denying that ‘fact’? Or perhaps, do you have a lady in your heart that you’re keeping in mind?”
Marquess Mecklinger probed sharply.
Klaus, momentarily taken aback, glanced at me with a hint of discomfort.
“Well…”
After a brief pause, Klaus, with a hazy end to his words, continued.
“…the daughter of Viscount Poyerbach is also present. And there are quite a few noble young ladies of a similar age.”
“Vi, Viscount Poyerbach?”
Marquess Mecklinger was taken aback as if pricked.
“Ah, ye, yes… right. Viscount Poyerbach, and Elfreda of the same age…”
He stuttered as if his tongue had stiffened. It was a rare sight from the always composed Marquess Mecklinger.
“…….”
At the same time, my heart sank clearly.
The moment had finally arrived.
This was the moment when the male lead Klaus recognized the female lead, Evangelin.
To be honest, I didn’t actively try to twist the original work as much as Lumie’s wind. Present Lumie wasn’t a suitable match for Klaus.
I know that much.
Even though I said I would help Lumie, my failure to actively connect with Klaus is truly rebellious.
While claiming to support Lumie, my attitude is actually for Klaus, not Lumie.
There is a reason I’ve become such a petty person.
The priorities of my life as Muzelle have changed. Something more important than doing what Lumie wants has emerged for me.
Lumie or Evangelin.
If I were asked to choose Klaus’s partner right now, I would immediately push Evangelin forward.
If that’s not what you want, Lumie. Today at the reception, you need to properly prove to me that you can be the ‘heroine.’
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…?
