Indeed, atop the dappled horse was a girl with black hair, holding the horse’s reins short and clinging quietly as if she were a dead mouse. She didn’t even seem to have the strength to scream.
Her hair, which seemed to have been neatly braided, was a mess, fluttering in the air with every leap of the horse. Ariadne seemed to be getting tired.
“She might fall off at this rate.”
Cesare looked in the direction of Ariadne. It seemed to be a battle of whether the horse would tire first, or the person riding it, but it looked like the person would run out of stamina first.
“We came to catch game and it looks like we’re going to catch a person.”
After some hesitation, Cesare eventually spurred his horse to rush forward.
“You guys! If you see the ‘Golden Deer’, don’t catch it, wait! You absolutely must not catch it! Even if it’s taken by someone else!”
He couldn’t give up his obsession with the ‘Golden Deer’.
[This is the time separator]Ariadne was using all her strength, even the one she used for sucking, to hold the horse’s reins short, trying not to fall off the horse’s back. Despite the continuous pain in the muscles every time the horse moved due to the arrow stuck in its butt, the damn horse kept galloping.
With every leap, she hoped that things would quiet down a bit, but the horse always made the next jump without fail. Ariadne was beginning to feel nauseous.
Her hand was gripping the reins so hard that she couldn’t feel the blood flow, and the reins were digging into her palm, hurting her with every move of the horse.
‘Ah, I can’t do it anymore.’
While thinking about whether she would get seriously injured if she let go and fell, a familiar tenor voice echoed in her ear.
“Miss, loosen your strength! You can’t beat the horse with strength!”
It was Cesare.
“Take the strength out between your legs! If the horse feels pressure from the strength in your thighs, it’ll get more startled!”
She followed the voice’s instructions, loosened the strength in her legs, and held on with the strength in the arches of her feet on the stirrups.
“Right, well done! Lean your upper body forward! Your center of gravity is too far back right now!”
Though she was completely out of it, Ariadne tried her best to lean forward and follow Cesare’s instructions.
However, for Ariadne, a skinny pubescent girl, she lacked the core strength to support her body weight just with the saddle and by relieving the pressure on her thighs.
Because Cesare was thinking from his own perspective, he naturally thought this level was achievable, but the physical conditions of a teenage girl in severe diet control and a twentysomething nobleman, whose virtue was to constantly train for war, were completely different.
When Ariadne tried to follow Cesare’s instructions to take the strength out of her thighs and just stand with her feet, her arms involuntarily tensed up and she ended up pulling on the reins. The horse, with its bit pulled even tighter, struggled a bit more due to the discomfort in its mouth.
Heeheeheehing!
The place where the horse was now running wild was a small clearing deep within the hunting grounds. Here, there were naturally fallen trees and protruding rocks and stones.
Ariadne’s horse spun around and flailed, then leaped toward the fallen tree.
Cesare’s eyes widened. The horse was on the brink of tripping over a rock next to the tree and falling over.
“Dangerous!”
In sync with his words, Ariadne’s horse swayed significantly.
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…?
