“If you stay here, I can handle it. I can find a way. It won’t take long. I’ll leave then. Okay? Brother.”
Looking at Diana holding his hand affectionately, Nathan bit down on his lower lip tightly. He couldn’t muster the strength to insist on leaving. How can I win against you?
“…….?”
“But, brother.”
He should have noticed the gentle tone.
“I have some fragments of memories surfacing. It seems like you know everything about it, right?”
“Huh? W-what?”
The danger alarm sounded. Beatus women are most frightening when they’re kind. Nathan unconsciously felt cold sweat coming out.
“I can’t remember.”
She was smiling, but her eyes didn’t.
“You know, right?”
“I really don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Nathan, whose hand was tightly held, turned his head, avoiding eye contact. Let’s run away. I have to escape. Nathan’s instinct to flee was once again taking over.
“He did that to me. He asked if I was still mad at him. I didn’t speak and stayed numb for a while back then. When was that, exactly?”
“…….?”
“I was dragged there. More than once, wasn’t I?”
A space taken captive by someone. It seemed like she had been cursed there. There must have been a mark on her back from that time.
His bewildered red eyes shook here and there.
“Do you remember?”
“Not everything. I don’t even know what kind of place it was. I didn’t even know if I had wounds on my body.”
Sighing, Nathan slumped onto the bed. He had hoped not to remember.
“I don’t know the place either. They thoroughly blinded my eyes and ears and took me there. Even if I tried to follow, I couldn’t catch up. They used some kind of magic.”
Nathan, relieving the stiffness in his throat, continued.
“Remember that? Going there makes you go crazy. I think they experimented with household members before, but since no normal human came out, they ended up using only direct descendants.”
“What kind of experiment?”
Nathan shrugged.
“I don’t know. What kind of experiment it was. I only know they used magic. Probably used for the imperial family. That’s how our family is, right?”
The royal dog. Unlike the powerful Schvartz, notorious for its military power, the Beatus family was modest.
A power-hungry family willing to sacrifice anything for the imperial family, even labeled as antagonists in novels.
“I need to meet my sister. Or, my older brother.”
If it’s her sister or brother, they would know exactly about the past she had forgotten.
“She said there’s no contact?”
“Help me, brother. If you go yourself, my older brother will meet you.”
For some reason, Devere Beatus, the eldest son and the black sheep of the Beatus family, blocked and didn’t receive any communication. Even the means leading to the dark guild were blocked.
“You’ll help? Brother.”
“Go meet Devere Beatus?”
“Yeah.”
Looking at Nathan’s genuinely displeased expression, Diana smiled brightly.
“If you help, I can leave this place quickly, right?”
“Ugh, really. Because it’s you saying it, I’ll listen. Got it?”
“I know. Our brother is the best!”
In response to Diana’s praise, Nathan couldn’t hide the slight upward curve of his lips.
A child suddenly entered through the wide-open door. The child transformed into the appearance of an adult in an instant, venting his anger.
The man who had taken over Roderick’s body looked at the scene dryly.
Thud— The man forcefully pushed Roderick’s body, causing one of the man’s eyebrows to rise crookedly. It seemed like unwelcome guests were coming to him a lot today.
“Why did you do that!”
In response to the angry roar of the man, the man pressed down on Roderick’s struggling body firmly.
“Are you showing this to my descendants too?”
“I don’t care.”
He was a man with a stature similar to Roderick’s and a well-proportioned physique. His impression was gentle, but his physique was as well-trained as a seasoned man.
Noel, who had returned to her original appearance, was using unstable power fueled by anger. Strands of hair floated in the air due to the unrestrained force.
“Why on earth… Why don’t you just leave Beatus alone! Can’t you let them live quietly?! You’ve been meddling around since the time of Angela. It was of no help!”
Looking at the resolute Noel, the man’s eyes darkened even more.
“So that’s why. To make amends.”
“Ha, amends?! If you quietly absorb the curse of your descendant and eliminate the curse of this family, naturally, the wounds would heal. You’ve been meddling with that, right!”
“Do you really think so? The fundamental issue probably hasn’t been resolved.”
The man’s twisted tone made Noel’s smooth forehead crease.
“See, you. Where that child’s magic is being drained. We need to eliminate the cause. Absorbing the curse of my descendant is just a temporary solution, isn’t it? Pretending to care for that child.”
The man whispered into Noel’s ear, leaning close.
“Why, did playing house after a few hundred years appeal to you?”
Thud— Noel pushed the man away again. The growling sound of a beast seeped through the gaps in Noel’s retort.
“You’re the one trying to use that child, right? Taking over someone else’s body to find Angela? Wake up. Both you and she are already dead.”
A bitter smile appeared on the man’s lips.
“What about you? The one swayed by Angela’s portrait.”
No more words followed. As a sense of someone approaching from outside reached them, Noel’s body instantly shrank.
Fortunately, as soon as they entered, the magically closed door prevented their presence from being exposed.
Thud— On this unfortunate day, the suffering door swung open vigorously.
“Noel. Why are you here? Come here.”
At Diana’s entrance, Noel rushed towards her. Diana embraced Noel as she approached.
Approaching the man, Diana shot him a stern look with firm eyes.
“Why are you bothering our Noel?”
“What?”
“Weren’t you arguing with Noel? It was noisy even outside the corridor.”
With a face resembling Angela’s, Diana took Noel’s side, twisting the man’s judgment. Ha, is this guy going to take her side?
Within one body, the jealousy of two men writhed.
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…?
