I was once again reminded of how big he was. In the past, even when he lifted me up, my feet would scrape the floor. Now, the ground seemed so far away.

Suddenly coming to my senses, I kicked my legs in protest. Being suddenly lifted like this is not good for the heart.

“Hey, hey, put me down. I can walk.”

But Kirian shook his head firmly.

“No. If my sister walks, we’ll never get there; it’s too slow.”

Kirian, who hit the nail on the head, grinned.

“You might get dizzy. Just bear with it a little.”

Kirian covered my eyes with his palm. His warm body temperature softly enveloped my eyelids.

A strong wind sound was heard, and the world seemed to spin. As he had said, I felt a little queasy, but we soon stopped.

Kirian gently set me down and slowly removed his hand from my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, it was a world filled with starlight.

Fireflies danced like the Milky Way in the night sky, twinkling close enough to touch.

The chirping of crickets and the bubbling of a stream filled my ears, and the wind that tickled my nose was cool and had a sweet, watery taste.

The flowers blooming by the stream swayed gently in the faint moonlight, and the grass beneath my bare feet tickled with every step.

“Do you like it?”

I was lost in the sight when Kirian’s voice reached my ears.

“You said you liked shiny things. I thought you’d like this too….”

It wasn’t this kind of sparkle he was referring to, but I found myself nodding, enchanted.

“I like it.”

At this moment, it was worth more than any gem or gold.

I turned to look at Kirian, unable to express my feelings with elegant words, hoping he would read the sincerity in my eyes.

“I really like it.”

Kirian’s mouth softened into a gentle smile. With the moonlight in his silvery hair and the night sky behind him, he looked unrealistically beautiful.

“I’m glad.”

His pleasing voice conveyed sincerity.

“Really, I’m glad.”

Kirian took a step closer, and I naturally looked up at him.

“I’m not sorry I missed the engagement ceremony, to be honest.”

I glared at Kirian with a playful smile.

Certainly, I’ve noted the names and genders of the characters, and here is the translated passage:

Saying sorry and giving a gift, then abruptly canceling the apology.

It wasn’t like skipping stones. Kirian’s intentions were completely inscrutable.

Kirian only smiled at my rude gaze.

“If there’s one thing I regret… not dancing with my sister?”

Kirian bent over and reached out his hand.

“May I ask for a dance now?”

A polite question, slightly lowered long eyelashes, a straight nose bridge, lips that drew a beautiful line. I was entranced by his fairylike appearance that seemed to jump out of a painting and took his hand.

And immediately regretted it.

Only after holding it did I suddenly remember. The dance with Kirian was no different from a disco dance.

Although the last dance with Kirian was during the national founding ceremony, there hadn’t been any significant progress since I hadn’t seen Kirian dance with anyone else in the meantime.

I closed my eyes tightly, stiffening my body in preparation for the impending future.

Swish. Swish.

It wasn’t a stormy wind, but a refreshing breeze that tickled my ears.

Kirian’s arms, wrapped around my waist, gently led me. With Kirian’s calm lead, I naturally took the first step. As I entrusted my body to his solid arms, I started to spin once, twice, naturally.

Laughter sounded over my closed eyelids.

“Sister, why are your eyes closed?”

“Uh, uh? No, I just wanted to close them.”

Half believing and half doubting, I slowly opened my eyes. My nightgown, which I thought would be tangled like laundry in a drum washing machine, was only slowly billowing.

As my stiff body began to relax, Kirian supported me more firmly. With his stable lead, I trusted myself to Kirian with ease.

The fireflies began to rotate like constellations, matching our slowly turning bodies. But I couldn’t focus on that beautiful scene.

I was too conscious of Kirian’s strange gaze as he looked at me quietly, busy staring over his shoulder.

Realizing that I was uncomfortable, Kirian smiled again.

“Sister, I made things hard for you when I was young, didn’t I?”

Kirian suddenly brought up the past. But thinking of the old Kirian, I too smiled.

“No way. It was just a little hard. Just a lot.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“But you were quite cute.”

Kirian chuckled.

“Really? Now? Still cute?”

“Now?”

I fell deep in thought.

“Now you’re pretty.”

A face closer to a boy than a man. Kirian, though still thinlined, exuded a unique charm.

Kirian’s eyes narrowed a bit.

“So you’re saying I’m not cool yet.”

“Haha. You have a long way to go to be cool.”

Kirian nodded his head.

“Yes. Many things will change as time goes by. Both me and you.”

As Kirian pulled me close, I almost snuggled into his arms. In a short silence, I could hear Kirian’s heartbeat.

“Sister, the promise to be independent. I hope you keep it.”

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.]
