Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 227
Everyone, led by Cardinal de Mare, stared wide-eyed at the dockworker, who scratched the back of his neck awkwardly under their attention and spoke.
“The request was so unusual I remembered it.”
He was one of the drifters Ippolito had contacted through a friend involved in illicit tobacco trading early in the year. Ippolito paid little mind to those beneath him, yet he’d made a vivid impression on the drifter.
“Plenty of people ask to be killed, sure—but almost nobody asks to have their head chopped off and delivered to a fishmonger… Usually, they just say ‘dump me in the river’ or ‘leave me outside the city’—something discreet. Oh, and I remember too: he smoked his pipe really heavily indoors.”
Ariadne chuckled inwardly—so like Ippolito. Mistaking her smile for something else, he hastily explained.
“Oh, indoor smoking is common in our neighborhood—it’s just that pipes went out of fashion a while back. Everyone smokes rolled cigarettes now.”
Ippolito turned red-faced and pointed accusingly at the dockworker.
“This is slander!”
He was on the verge of lunging at the scruffy man. Barely restraining himself from making a scene by throwing punches in front of his father, Ippolito appealed to Cardinal de Mare instead.
“Father! It’s widely known across the entire capital that Mother asked for the murdered maid’s head to be cut off and delivered to a fish shop! Anyone could’ve made up that story—it’s common knowledge!”
“You do realize how famous the young master is, right?”
Hearing this for the first time, the Cardinal frowned and turned to the dockworker.
“What did you say?”
Flattered by the attention of such a high-born figure, the dockworker grew slightly excited and began chattering.
“Well, uh—you know, tobacco, cigarettes—we sell ‘em a bit.”
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.]
