She could see the palace’s corridors even with her eyes closed. Even detailed information, such as daffodils on the table in the west corridor and blue hydrangeas on the stand in the east corridor, came to mind.
Everything felt precious since she was thinking this would be her last time seeing it.
The time for meeting Leopold had passed, and since Olivia did not head to the garden, Countess Sopron was impatient.
Olivia gave a faint smile.
“The prince won’t be here for a while, will he?”
“Still, Your Highness.”
Although Olivia knew that Countess Sopron was worried about more than just time, she pretended not to know.
She thought of Edwin, who would be walking with her in the palace’s garden now.
Where could he be walking? It would be nice if it were a beautiful garden filled with flowers.
Then he wouldn’t see her final moment with Leopold.
Olivia looked at the garden. On the table that had long passed the appointed time, there were only two teacups waiting for their owner, with a cooling tea pot.
“……Let’s go.”
Olivia’s words seemed welcome as Countess Sopron sighed with a relieved face. She was a person whose thoughts were so transparent. Olivia grinned at the realization, a fact she had only come to know after more than ten years.

“When the prince comes, please step back.”
“Yes.”
Countess Sopron nodded and stepped back a little.
The magnoliaengraved teacup of black tea had long since cooled. Olivia stared blankly at her cup of cold black tea, then gazed at the empty cup across from her that hadn’t even been poured.
It seemed that waiting was not to her taste.
To make her wait until the very end, really.
A momentarily cold smile was drawn at her lips.
“Glory to the Empire’s little sun.”
At the continuous sounds of greetings, Olivia rose from her seat. Far away, a man was approaching with large strides suitable for his towering height.
A beautiful face looked at Olivia and smiled arrogantly.
Leopold.
Her fiancé, whom she would divorce today.
Olivia lightly held the hem of her dress and bowed respectfully.
“Glory to the Empire,”
“What are you being so formal for? Are you sorry for leaving first yesterday?”
Leopold, who cut off Olivia’s words as if it were obvious, faced Olivia with an unhappy expression on his face.
In Leopold’s eyes, bringing up yesterday’s events, it seemed like there was no sign that he was significantly late for today’s appointment.
Olivia smiled brightly at the maids. With expressions of “Oops,” the maids quickly cleared the area. Now, in this garden, there were only her and Leopold.
She picked up the teapot and filled the empty cup, but Leopold only glanced at the cup and didn’t touch it. Instead, he folded his arms. His sharply raised eyes shone brightly in a fierce blue.
Olivia spoke her purpose calmly.
“……I came to see you one last time before breaking our engagement.”
Ha ha ha. As soon as Olivia’s words ended, Leopold burst into laughter. The freely exploded laughter and bright smiling face were handsome enough to shake many people’s hearts, but the blue eyes were flashing with anger.
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.
