Lina, who had been considering what to choose, froze at Madam Camel’s words.
“… All of these are mine…?”
“Yes, I’ve brought ones that should match your rough measurements and hair color, but I’m not sure if you’ll like them. Today, we will take more detailed measurements and present you with custommade dresses in a short time. Now, let’s start.”
As soon as Madam Camel’s words were over, the women behind her clustered around Lina, taking her measurements.
“You look good in calm colors, Lady. Instead of big and flashy jewelry, add points with simpler designed accessories. This fabric will suit your brown eyes….”
“… Do as you please, Madam Camel.”
Camel enthusiastically held up various pieces of jewelry and fabric against Lina’s body, chattering away. But Lina, seemingly tired, just nodded her head.
“Alright, it’s done. How do you like it?”
After trying various things on Lina, Madam Camel placed a mirror in front of her with a proud expression.
‘What’s the difference it’s going to make… huh?’
Not expecting much, Lina’s eyes widened as she looked in the mirror.
“Do you like it? Is it to your liking?”
‘How could I not like it.’
Someone had said clothes are wings. She had thought that whatever she wore would look the same.
‘Does it feel like my skin and hair have also improved…?’
Perhaps because what she was wearing had changed, the overall look seemed different. Madam Camel smiled proudly as Lina stared blankly at herself in the mirror for a long time.
“I’m glad you like it. If you need anything, please find me, Camel. Then, excuse me.”
With a polite bow, she left the room as if her work was done.
Around the time Lina was sitting blankly, feeling as if a storm had just blown through, Mei entered the room.
“Lina! No, my lady! You’ve become so beautiful!”
“Thank you, Mei. But… why suddenly ‘my lady’? What’s with the honorifics?”
She looked at Mei, who was suddenly addressing her as “my lady” and speaking formally, with bewildered eyes.
“You’ve become a noble lady now. Soon you’ll be the Duchess. We can’t go on like friends forever.”
“But…….”
Somehow feeling a sense of distance, Lina’s expression fell, and Mei took her hand.
“Even though the way we address each other has changed, the fact that we’re friends hasn’t, right?”
“……Yes, you’re right. Mei.”
At Mei’s words, Lina also flashed a faint smile.
“Miss, more than that, there’s a famous dessert shop in the capital! Let’s go eat dessert together!”
“Dessert?”
“Yes! They sell such delicious lemon tarts there! They say hundreds are sold every day! If we’re late, we might not be able to eat, so let’s hurry!”
Lina grinned and handed Mei’s head.
“Alright, let’s go then.”
(This is a time separator.)
Although their goal was the dessert shop, Lina had a good time following the excited Mei and entering eyecatching shops.
“Huh?!”
After looking around more than five shops, on the way to eat dessert, Mei suddenly stopped, clapping her hands as if she remembered something.
“What’s wrong?”
“Look at my mind! I think I left the ribbon I bought in the shop earlier! I’ll go get it quickly, so please wait here for a moment!”
“Alright, be careful.”
Watching Mei run back the way they came for a moment, something caught Lina’s eye. People were gathered in front of a bulletin board set up on one side of the square.
“What’s happening?”
Suddenly curious, Lina approached the bulletin board.
“Another missing person case! It’s so scary; how can anyone walk around?”
“That’s right! It’s mostly young women who are disappearing!”
As the people sighed, the missing person flyers mostly showed young women.
‘Ah, it’s the missing person case I heard about in Denver.’
It must be why the Duke is so busy, Lina thought, just as she heard Mei calling for her from afar.
She was about to turn towards where Mei was standing when.
“Ah!”
Without noticing the man standing behind her, she bumped her head into his chest.
Lina lifted her head to apologize politely to the man.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t see you, and I……”
Perhaps because he was standing against the blinding sun, she couldn’t see the man’s face clearly.
But then.
“This is strange.”
A familiar voice that seemed to have heard somewhere before.
And.
Slowly revealing red eyes.
Those two eyes were so intense, as if they would suck her in.
“Are you alright?”
It even looked momentarily hot.
“Ah, I apologize……!”
Snapping back to reality at the man’s voice, Lina examined his face.
Hair that gleamed golden like the sun, even under the robe.
A stoic atmosphere flowing from his features.
He was definitely a man she had never seen before. A face she had never seen before, so why…….
Why did it feel like she had seen him somewhere?
“Do you know me?”
Embarrassed by staring blankly at the man, she stammered without realizing.
“Ah, no. I must have mistaken you for someone else.”
Seeing Lina’s demeanor, the man smiled faintly, stepping back respectfully.
“In that case, take care.”
Though she looked closely in case it was someone she had met somewhere before, she soon gave up, watching the candidly retreating man.
‘It must be my imagination, right?’
“Miss!”
At that moment, Mei’s anxious voice came closer.
And then, glancing at the disappearing back of the man, she asked casually.
“Do you know him?”
“No, just……. a stranger.”
Perhaps.
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…?
