Lina tried to recall a little at a time about the news that she had fainted. Then something seemed to come to mind, and she asked May.
“I’m sure I fainted in my room, why am I here……”
“The Duke brought you here. A doctor will be sent soon. Maybe yesterday, Dr. Hoaquin treated you?”
Hoaquin was the primary doctor of the Permanence family, a doctor only for the Duke. That he was examining a mere maid.
It was impossible. Moreover, receiving treatment in the Duke’s bedroom. Lina was not unaware of what that meant.
‘It’s no different from declaring that I’m the Duke’s wife.’
At the rumor that would follow her like a tag once again, Lina got up from the heavy bed.
“Lina, you shouldn’t move yet!”
She spoke to May, who seemed worried, supporting her.
“I’m going back to my room. Can you tell the butler that I’m not taking the doctor’s examination?”
“No. Just get examined. You were sick last month and couldn’t leave the room all day. It’s strange, thinking about it, it seems like you were sick at least once a month. Take this opportunity to get a proper examination from the doctor. It could be a serious illness.”
Despite May’s objection, Lina, who was trying to hurry out of bed, stopped her body at the last word.
‘Wait. Last month……?’
A chill ran down her back as an ominous feeling washed over her.
“Do you know, May?”
“Yeah.”
“What’s today’s date?”
“Hmm. Yesterday was the 14th, so…… today is the 15th!”
Hearing May’s words, Lina’s legs went weak, and she almost collapsed.
‘It’s ruined. How could I have forgotten that?’
As Lina’s complexion turned pale rapidly, May asked with a serious face.
“What’s wrong, Lina? Are you feeling unwell? Shall I call the doctor right now……!”
“No, May. I’m okay.”
Lina tried to show a smile to comfort May, but her head was filled with chaos.
‘Tomorrow is the day my body changes, isn’t it?!’
Once a month, the night of the full moon was the day Lina turned into her original form.
And every time, she had to stay in her room, pretending to be sick, or take a vacation in advance and be away from the mansion.
Only now did she remember the crucial fact, and Lina let out a short sigh.
‘It’s probably better this way. Since I said I’m sick anyway. I’ll just stay in my room all day tomorrow.’
Since everyone thought Lina was ill, she would be able to get through it safely by staying quietly in her room.
Thinking so, she asked May.
“May. This is just a simple cold. I’ll probably be okay if I rest in my room until tomorrow. So please tell the butler that the doctor’s examination is not necessary. I can just rest quietly in my room.”
Lina, whom Mei tried to stop several times, nodded her head at her firm attitude.
“And how about you sleep in another child’s room today? I’d feel sorry if it spread to you too.”
“…Okay. I know. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable even a little.”
“Thank you. Mei.”
With those words, Lina secretly went to the kitchen, prepared some food, and returned to her room.
Food to eat for two days, and even books to alleviate boredom. Lina, who had made all the preparations, wore a satisfied expression.
“This should be enough.”
Perhaps because she had done this so often, there was no longer any anxiety or worry. Just a quiet day to rest?
Lina, sitting on the bed, unwittingly yawned. Maybe it’s because of the medicine she took earlier. Sleepiness began to set in.
She tried to overcome sleep by nodding her head, but it was in vain.
“I’m a little sleepy…”
Eventually, Lina couldn’t resist her heavy eyelids and gradually fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, the sun had already set. Surprised at the dark sky, she looked at the clock.
“It’s past 11 pm?”
Although she was startled that it was later than she thought, it was okay since she had already prepared everything.
All she had to do was read a book and wait for her body to change.
As Lina finished doublechecking the lock and was about to turn a page, someone knocked on the door.
“Who is it…?”
“It’s Hoakin. I came to see you for treatment, open the door.”
‘What?!’
She looked at the wall clock at Hoakin’s sudden appearance.
The clock was already pointing to 11:50. A medical examination at this time?
It was unexpected. Moreover, there wasn’t much time left. If she opened the door now, the doctor would discover her changing body.
“I’m fine. I just want to rest alone, can you please leave?”
Therefore, all she could do was refuse the treatment.
“What are you talking about? It’s the Duke’s order. Open the door.”
Lina bit her lip as she grabbed the doorknob. Looking at the clock again, there was less than 5 minutes left.
She had to somehow send the doctor away.
“I know my body better. I’ll get better if I just rest in my room.”
“Ugh. This really is.”
Although it was unnecessary to treat her at night, the Duke was anxious and ordered a night examination of the maid.
Because of this, Hoakin didn’t know what to do with Lina, who was adamantly refusing treatment. Being a maid, but she could not casually treat the Duke’s wife.
It was just a common cold when she was examined during the day, so there probably wouldn’t be any major health issues. After a moment of contemplation, he decided to go back and explain the situation.
“I will tell the Duke that.”
What could he do if she refused treatment like that? With that, Hoakin gave up Lina’s treatment and turned around.
As his presence moved away from the door, Lina, relieved, slumped down to the floor.
“That was close.”
Not long after, the bell rang to signal midnight, and her body changed.
“Phew.”
Thinking that she had safely overcome the crisis, Lina let out a sigh of relief. But that sense of relief was shortlived.
An even bigger crisis loomed before her.
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…?
