A passerby who found Rebecca muttering like a halfcrazed woman turned away. It was evident that he didn’t want to get involved in the complicated situation.
I kept my mouth shut, listening to Rebecca’s words with one ear and letting them go with the other.
The reason Rebecca was angry was all because of what happened yesterday.
The day before, Rebecca had tried to pull off an incredible scam, pretending that I was the Duke’s daughter.
Naturally, that scam eventually failed. The Duke only has three sons, all adopted.
For him to have a biological daughter, not even a passing dog would believe such a story.
However, Rebecca did not insist that I was the Duke’s daughter without any evidence.
It all started a few days ago when she had a guest over at the house.
Usually, Rebecca goes out on business to receive guests. But that day, the guest came into the house, and I hid quietly in a corner.
I overheard the man talking about his earldom and realized that he was a nobleman.
It was quite unfortunate for me when the nobleman discovered a ring that had been rolling around our house while drinking with Rebecca.
He saw the emblem on the ring and said it was the Duke’s seal.
Whether it was true or not, I couldn’t tell, but the next day Rebecca took me and dragged me to the Duke’s residence, thinking it was worth a shot.
Surprisingly, it seemed that the ring did belong to the Duke. He took it back.
We could go as far as the Duke, but no further. The Duke was not a man to be fooled by a small ring in this scam.
We were promptly kicked out by the Duke, who dismissed Rebecca’s words as nonsense. It was fortunate that the Duke let us go unharmed and intact.
I guessed to myself that the Duke must have been in a particularly good mood yesterday.
‘If he was in a bad mood, we might have had our fingers cut off.’
But Rebecca seemed completely unaware that we had encountered tremendous luck yesterday.
“You wretched thing, even hell wouldn’t be enough for you!”
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my head and lost strength in my legs.
“Ugh!”
“You useless rag!”
As if more angered by that, Rebecca threw me to the ground.
My knees and palms stung as they hit the ground. As I fell, Rebecca impatiently kicked my stomach.
The pain was suffocating, but I held back a scream.
“You poisonous thing, you don’t even cry when your mother scolds you?”
As if indiscriminate violence was scolding.
I just glared at her without saying a word.
‘If I cry, she’ll hit me more.’
It had been that way since I was young. If I cried because I was hungry, I got slapped. If I whined because I was scared, I got kicked.
Then once she hit my head with the ashtray she threw.
At that time, I fainted and fell down.
Because of that, after momentarily falling down and waking up, I could not think that the incident was completely unfortunate.
Because I recalled the memories of my past life from the shock of being hit on the head.
This was the world from a novel I had read in my previous life.
And I knew the male lead and the villains who were the center of this world.
The reason I knew the Duke I saw yesterday was a villain was also because of the memories that came to mind then.
‘In this situation, remembering doesn’t help.’
Anyway, after that, I didn’t cling to her anymore.
I didn’t even beg for love, as if she was the whole world.
Whether being beaten or starved, I lived like that.
The fortunate thing was that I was familiar with a life similar to this from my previous life.
“This useless piece of junk! You’re a bug that’s no help at all!”
I tightly closed my eyes, and wrapped my head with my arms.
Knowing that the more I resisted, the more violent it would become, I was quietly intending to endure it.
‘I don’t care if I die like this.’
Even if I die, a tiresome life would wait, but
‘I wish it would end quickly.’
While I was thinking like that, Rebecca stopped hitting me.
‘What?’
I slowly lowered my arms and opened my eyes.
Rebecca was frozen, making a dumbfounded expression.
Her hand, which was about to hit me, was caught by an unknown man.
He was very big and intimidating.
I would really hurt if I got hit by him. That thought came first.
“What, what! Who are you?”
Rebecca, who was momentarily bewildered, yelled in anger. When she shook off his hand, the man obediently let go.
Gaining a little courage from that, Rebecca straightened her body and questioned.
“Who are you to touch someone else’s body so arbitrarily!”
“We have business with this child, not with you.”
“Why? Then tell me! Because I’m this child’s mother!”
The one who picked me up from the ground was Rebecca. Rebecca grabbed my shoulder like pinching.
“Can’t you stand up straight?!”
The man’s eyes suddenly changed sharply. I, who was watching him, could only shudder in fear.
Then the man’s eyes softened a little. The man spoke again.
“Let go of the child and talk, she looks tired.”
“What’s it to you? I’m scolding my child!”
I sneaked a glance.
The man standing in front of us was a young man with a handsome appearance.
Behind him, several men with similar builds were standing.
I realized then that the emblem on the expensive carriage behind them looked familiar.
“This is scolding…”
The man gritted his teeth and muttered.
His eyes scanned my face and body in turn.
‘He seems angry…’
“What do you want with my child!”
Suddenly, I became curious.
Is Rebecca insensitive, or is she fearless?
‘Both?’
While I was seriously pondering alone, the man took something out of his pocket.
Covered in black leather with a round shape, a silver emblem was engraved on it.
I immediately recognized what it was.
So did Rebecca. Her hand began to tremble.
“I have come from the Leviche Knights.”
“Why, why? KKnights…”
“We have come to find the Duke’s biological daughter.”
As I blankly stared at him, the man knelt down and looked into my eyes.
“I have come to escort you, Miss.”
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.]
