I sprang to my feet.
‘I need to see Count LiFe.’
Time was running short. I didn’t know when the Duke, now imprisoned in the dungeon, would punish the Count.
Especially when the evidence and circumstances were clearly pointing to the Count as the culprit.
‘I heard earlier that he was imprisoned in the dungeon.’
The dungeon would be connected to the basement from the annex. When I had come to the mansion, I had discovered stairs leading down while exploring.
If only there was no one guarding the entrance, I could get in.
Just as I moved with anxious steps.
I felt my skirt get caught on something and stumbled forward.
“Ouch!”
At first, I thought I had misstepped because I was impatient. But I felt a strong force pulling my skirt back.
‘What is it?’
When I looked back, I saw a thin rope tightly tied to my skirt.
No, it wasn’t a rope. Upon closer inspection, it was the silver snake I had seen yesterday.
‘It’s that snake from yesterday?’
I furrowed my brow. Why did it keep appearing before me? I felt extremely uneasy.
‘…No, I don’t know about this. Let’s pretend I don’t.’
[Don’t pretend, we just made eye contact.]Embarrassed, I looked around and muttered to myself.
“What, what exactly caught my skirt?”
[You really can’t act.]“…….”
With the scathing criticism, I promptly abandoned my plan to ignore it.
“Hey, silver snake, I’m a bit busy right now? If you have something to say, come back later.”
The appearance of the silver snake was worrisome, but I had more urgent matters than this suspicious silver snake.
But for some reason, the silver snake didn’t like it and tightly grabbed the hem, refusing to let go.
“Will you let go?”
[Why don’t you ask me anything?]“…What?”
When I stopped struggling, the silver snake let go of the hem. The silver snake blocking my way flicked its red tongue.
[Humans usually ask where I came from, who sent me, first. But why don’t you ask me anything? Aren’t you curious about me?]Curious? I can hardly believe I’m having a conversation with a snake right now.
Speaking snakes don’t exist in the world. Moreover, a snake that gets offended when called a snake is even more unheard of.
I knew that too. Since I knew it, I knew I shouldn’t be curious about its existence.
“That’s because I’m not curious.”
[How can you not be?]“I can be.”
[Think again, you must be curious?] [Don’t you want to know?] “I don’t care even if I think about it again. So, will you step aside now?” [Look even now, other people can’t hear my voice. But you can converse with me. And yet you really aren’t curious about the reason?]“Yeah, I’m not curious. I don’t need it, I won’t buy it.”
I reached out again with my hand towards the latch.
But before my hand could even touch the latch, I tripped and fell flat on the floor.
It was because that vile silver snake had bitten my hem and dragged me backward.
“You want to mess with me now?!”
I bravely yelled, pushing myself forward on my hands, crawling on the floor.
But my body was weak, unable to resist being dragged back even by a snake no thicker than my arm.
… Ugh.
[Little creature, don’t pretend it doesn’t matter. You’re curious, right? Come on, I’ll let you ask now. I’m giving you a special chance.]What does that suspicious silver snake want from me? It probably isn’t coming out just to ask a question.
That’s why I had no intention of asking.
‘I shouldn’t get involved with that silver snake.’
I narrowed my eyes. How can I get rid of this persistent silver snake?
Soon, I stood up from my spot, folded my arms, and squarely told the silver snake,
“I’ve never seen a snake like you that can talk before. I’ve seen a snake I can talk to, and for the first time, I see a snake I can’t talk to!”
There was a moment of silence. The silver snake seemed to tremble, as if angry.
Ah, it seems to understand a bit.
“But I told you, I’m not curious about a silver snake like you!”
[You, you…! You called me a snake four times!]The silver snake hissed, its red tongue flicking.
Seeing its threatening stance, I seemed to have provoked it properly.
I stealthily prepared to run towards the door, adjusting my stance.
[I’m not a snake! You lowly creature!]“So I told you I’m not curious about what you are!”
Suddenly cutting off its words, I sprang up from my spot and headed straight for the door.
But it seems I provoked it a bit too much.
The figure approaching me was becoming rather extraordinary.
Uh, uh?
[How dare, how dare you call me a snake!]The silver snake’s tail stretched out in front of me.
It tripped me by hooking my right foot as if to show me.
“Ouch!”
[Look closely at what I am! You lowly creature!]Having been tripped over, I fell flat on the floor, hitting my nose.
I didn’t even think about getting up and gently rubbed my sore nose.
The silver snake raised its body high in front of me and looked down.
[I am the divine beast that you should be worshipping!]Ah…….
I sighed.
It finally said it in front of me.
It was a fact I had wanted to ignore from the start.
That’s because,
‘You should go to the male lead, not me!’
Why did this divine beast come to me of all people!
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…?
