Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 127
Isabella, having secured a respectable escort—not some low-class friend, an airheaded older brother, or an unsatisfying partner—secretly grinned to herself as she stepped into the ‘Hall of Lilies.’
Upon entering the ballroom, a royal servant handed her a small wrapped sugar cookie and a single daffodil—the welcome gift presented to every female attendee.
“Thank you.”
Most guests had already arrived; only the royal family and the distinguished guest, Grand Duchess Larisa de Valois of Galico, had yet to enter the ballroom.
Thanks to Count and Countess Bartolini, they had even managed to claim a decent, albeit secluded, sofa. Isabella reached for the champagne the servant offered—bubbling vigorously with fine effervescence—but paused and instead took the water beside it.
“So, Lady de Mare doesn’t drink alcohol?”
Old Count Bartolini asked kindly.
“Our Clemente doesn’t particularly enjoy alcohol either.”
Isabella barely suppressed the urge to mutter, ‘You should’ve seen my wife completely drunk alongside Marquis Campa,’ and instead offered the most mournfully elegant smile she could muster.
“No, I usually drink a little alcohol.”
Upon hearing Isabella mention drinking, Iacopo brightened and turned to look at her—wondering if she’d agree to drink with him later. After all, Isabella had always insisted in front of Iacopo that she couldn’t tolerate even a single drop of alcohol.
“It hasn’t been long since I sent my mother off… Though His Majesty the King decreed mourning should last only a month, even after removing my mourning attire, I’d like to honor my mother through my conduct for a while longer.”
As Old Count Bartolini gazed at her with deep admiration, Ippolito, seated in front, obliviously chuckled and opened his mouth.
“Hey, if you really want to honor Mom, you should go absolutely crazy shopping like she used to—urk!”
He was abruptly silenced as a boot kicked him hard on the shin. When he glared toward the boot’s owner, his petal-like younger sister smiled at her older brother with unnerving sweetness.
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.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
