The accumulated fatigue seemed enormous. And it wasn’t a situation where he could comfortably rest, either.
A deep sigh welled up in his throat.
It was then that a playful voice echoed through the otherwise silent bedroom.
“What’s this? Already tired?”
Liurian opened his eyes and tilted his head. A man with an unusually pale face was leaning against the wall next to the window.
“You seem particularly cheerful today.”
“Of course. Do you know how curious I’ve been to see what the crown princess, whom you’ve been pining for, looks like?”
Liurian’s brow furrowed mercilessly at the man’s words. He asked through clenched teeth.
“Does that mean you’ve seen Evelia’s face?”
His voice, suppressed, was bonechilling. If looks could kill, the man’s head would probably have been lopped off long ago.
But the man shrugged nonchalantly.
“I saw her from a distance. I need to know who your crown princess is if I’m going to help you.”
Despite the man’s protestations, Liurian’s mood did not improve. On the contrary, he felt it sink further.
Finally, his longsuppressed truth burst out without restraint.
“Just shut up, Felix.”
With those words, Liurian buried himself deep in the chair. The constant tension and vigilance had caused a heavy headache to shake his brain.
Every day, every moment was not easy. There had never been a peaceful moment. But today, especially, was more so.
As soon as he closed his eyes tightly, Evelia’s face seemed to appear, waiting above.
Her eyes begging him not to go. There were no words to express the feeling of having to turn his back on her knowing that.
Liurian unknowingly tensed his brow, and immediately, a mocking laugh irritated his mind.
“That’s an interesting expression.”
“……Didn’t you hear me say shut up?”
Liurian sharply opened his eyes and spoke harshly. Yet Felix’s laughter did not stop.
“For now, it would be best if you did what you have to do as Liurian Petrov.”
“I intend to do that even if you don’t say so. So don’t presume to teach me.”
Liurian’s words were final, his voice filled with the exhaustion of a day spent performing a role that was never easy. But even then, the world would not give him rest, and neither would Felix, whose laughter echoed in his ears long after.
“Perhaps. What I meant was that it might be best for you not to face your rage for a while.”
At Felix’s continued words, Liurian Petrov clenched the armrest of the chair tightly. He glared at Felix as if he would kill him, as if all his vitality up until now had been nothing.
Felix unfolded his arms and raised both hands beside his head. It was a gesture indicating that there was no hidden intention he could misunderstand.
“Look at this. Calm down. How could I not say such a thing? Even on the battlefield where you staked your life, you didn’t waver, but you keep forgetting your duty and wavering in front of your rage.”
“If you want to keep playing fast and loose with those loose lips, you should stop right there.”
“Sorry, but I’m not a being you can kill. You know that too.”
Felix chuckled as if he found it amusing. All Liurian Petrov could do was grind his teeth even more.
He didn’t want to admit it, but it was true.
That person, who looked no different from me, had an ability that he, unlike himself, couldn’t approach.
It was annoying to acknowledge the fact, but he couldn’t deny it.
He knew all too well from past experience that he couldn’t even make a small scratch on him.
As if he had already seen through his thoughts, Felix leaned away from the wall where he had been leaning and stretched leisurely.
A smile, still filled with interest, hung around his mouth.
“Ugh, I was getting sick of preaching to you all this time. It’ll be fun from now on, won’t it?”
“I’m warning you, it would be best to stay quiet like you’ve been doing.”
“You don’t want to keep repeating this tedious situation in the future, do you?”
At Felix’s sharp point, Liurian Petrov’s hand, clutching the armrest, trembled violently, but he couldn’t respond.
Felix looked at him as if enjoying the sight and added.
“So get your act together from now on and be faithful to your duty.”
“…….”
“Liurian Petrov.”
The voice was somehow both teasing and ominous.
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…?
