“I ended up achieving nothing.”
Unable to hold back my sudden sorrow, tears poured out.
Sobbing, I wiped my eyes with both hands.
Not wanting anyone to discover this, I gritted my teeth to muffle my cries.
“I’m sorry.”
Why had I forgotten until now? Such precious memories, who I once was, I couldn’t understand why I had forgotten.
Perhaps as I headed toward the underworld, wearing another’s shell, even fragments of the past sank into the abyss.
But now that I remembered, it didn’t matter.
I clenched the blanket tightly, recalling my past fondness for Paradise and my current identity as the princess.
And the next day.
Kkii-ik.
The sound of the door opening reached my ears, but perhaps because my head was a mess from last night, and I’d fallen asleep late at dawn, I couldn’t open my eyes immediately and tossed and turned. Even though I was conscious, lifting my eyelids was too difficult due to lingering sleepiness.
“Veris! Mom is coming for breakfast!”
I assumed that it was probably a maid who entered my room. Judging by the rough manner in which the quilt was pulled away and the raised voice, it was my sister.
“I’m going to sleep more. Give me the blanket.”
I curled up like a shrimp, turned my head, and buried my face in the pillow. When I muttered and grumbled, my sister immediately made a grunt behind me.
“Really going to sleep more? You’ll regret it.”
Chuckling and laughing, my sister soon added,
“The menu this morning is pancakes full of corn.”
“Really?”
Unbelievable. Corn, which I ate every single day even during my time as God’s proxy! My body reacted before my reason, and I sprang up.
Just a moment ago, I was so tired I felt like I could drift off into the dream world forever, but hearing the word ‘corn’ made me feel as if I’d splashed cold water on my face.
“Yeah. There’s corn soup, too.”
“Then I’ll go!”
I instinctively found my indoor shoes, put them on, and dashed towards the dining room in no time. I had to return to the bedroom to wash my face because my sister stopped me, but I washed up quickly, thinking about eating corn dishes as soon as possible.
Clink-dash.
“Veris, eat slowly.”
“Yeah, Mom!”
I carefully cut the pancake with a knife, topped it with whipped cream and small pieces of fruit, and ate it with a fork. I was happy. The flavor and scent of the corn spreading on my tongue lifted my soul.
“Give me another bowl.”
“Yes.”
I also devoured the soup in between, asking the maid to bring more bowls.
‘Come to think of it, my sister resembles the demon of wisdom.’
While the maid went to get more soup, I looked at my sister across the table, who was mumbling with her mouth closed.
‘What was that guy’s name? It was Lon something.’
Clink-dash.
Damn, lost in thought, I saw my sister greedily pick up a large piece of pancake with her fork and drop it.
‘She only resembles him. Her actions are completely different from that guy’s.’
Looking at the pancake she ruined, her face turned gloomy, but when the maid quickly brought a new one, her face lit up with happiness.
‘After all, there’s no way the commander of the underworld army would be here.’
There’s no way that a 10-year-old kid showing such a face could be the demon in my memory.
“Staring won’t make me give it to you. This is mine.”
“Go ahead and eat. I’m just going to keep eating the soup anyway.”
Because my sister is a fool.
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…?
