Scrambling to pick up her glasses and crookedly pressing them onto her frecklefilled nose, it seemed she had never imagined she would be chosen.
“Yes. I want to be with Lady Countess Mirena.”
“Re, really?”
Even in the face of Lady Lamira’s bright smile, Lady Mirena still wore a startled expression.
Not only her, but everyone gathered here had astonished faces. No wonder, as Lady Mirena was a lady who had attended tea parties or social gatherings only a handful of times.
She was the kind of person who was often forgotten by everyone despite being a lady from a fairly prestigious count family, due to her timid nature and unnoticeable appearance.
“Yes. Will you be with us?”
Lady Mirena, still with a stunned expression, moved to the table where Lady Lamira’s teammates were seated.
The face of Lady Lamira’s friend, who had not been selected, darkened with disappointment.
I wasn’t in the best mood either.
I thought Lady Lamira would naturally take care of her friends. This wasn’t part of my plan.
I let out a short sigh.
It can’t be helped. I must do my best with what I have.
I greeted the ladies gathered at my table.
“I’m glad to be planning the party with you. I promise to do my best for a successful party.”
Clearly, they were all ladies with little social experience, and they only glanced nervously at each other. Lady Lamira’s friend just sat with a frozen face.
“The actual party preparations will start tomorrow. Let’s meet at the front gate after class.”
I quickly ended the meeting and stood up.
I was a bit worried whether my plan would succeed, but there was no harm in trying.
(This is a time delimiter.)
“You understand, Lady Douglas?”
Lady Lamira spoke to her unchosen friend in a matteroffact tone.
“This party must be a success.”
Lady Lamira continued to talk, unaware or uncaring that Lady Douglas’s face was still sullen.
“Lady Countess Minera is the icon of social circle fashion, you know. Her daughter may look like that, but…….”
Lady Douglas still looked unhappy.
“Even so……. We’ve known each other for so long, I thought you’d choose me.”
Lady Lamira’s ears were deaf to Lady Douglas’s small tantrum. Lady Lamira flapped one hand and laughed.
“I have my thoughts and intentions for sending Lady Douglas to another team. Would I have done it because I don’t want to be with you?”
“Really?”
Lady Lamira stepped closer to Lady Douglas and grabbed her hand.
“Yes. Do you trust me a little? We’ve known each other for a long time.”
“Right…….”
Lady Douglas still looked a bit apprehensive but agreed with Lady Lamira’s words.
Lamira Youngae’s smile deepened. She looked around cautiously and whispered.
“It’s absurd that that commoner takes all the spotlight in a competition.”
Youngae Douglas also frowned and nodded, as if she didn’t like it.
“Please tell me tomorrow what that commoner’s plan is.”
Lamira Youngae firmly held Youngae Douglas’s hand.
“You know that I trust you, right?”
And she subtly whispered.
“If we finish this well, I’ll ask my fiancé. To introduce you to a good young gentleman around.”
“Really?”
Youngae Douglas’s face suddenly brightened. She had never been properly asked to dance because of her humble family.
“Yes. Of course.”
From a secret corner of the garden, the two Youngaes’ warm laughter rang out.
Regrettably, Lamira Youngae, while careful to look around, didn’t think to look up.
She didn’t see Kirian, who lately was taking naps in trees to avoid detection by the academy teachers.
(This is a time separator.)
“Princess Reina, are we going the right way?”
One Youngae assigned to my party planning team asked, gripping the carriage seat until her knuckles turned white.
“Yes. Don’t worry.”
Just as I said that, the carriage jolted violently. Muddy water splashed up to the window from the rugged road.
Even the duke’s carriage, known for its steadiness, was jolted hard due to the rough road to today’s destination.
“We’ll arrive soon, so please relax.”
I smiled reassuringly at the Youngae, but her shoulders began to shake even more.
“Wh, where exactly are we going? It’s for pa, party preparation, right?”
Another Youngae peeked out at the slums through the window, asking with a voice trembling more than a goat.
“Haha, you’ll see when we get there.”
I tried to show another confident smile, but then shouts and the sound of a glass bottle breaking came from outside.
“It’s a safe place, so don’t worry.”
But no matter how brightly I smiled, my team members only shivered. Even Esmeralda couldn’t completely hide her worried expression.
The carriage stopped just then.
“We’ve arrived. Let’s get out.”
I opened the door first and got out, considering the trembling Youngaes. But they only peeked their heads out and withdrew them again.
“Ladies?”
I smiled thinly, but my eyes narrowed involuntarily.
“We’ll be late at this rate. Let’s get out quickly?”
Once Esmeralda took the lead, and all the Youngaes came out clumsily, I guided them to a shabby mansion by the road.
“House of Saint Margaret?”
One Youngae read the lowhanging sign on the fence around the mansion hesitantly. Laughter from children playing in the yard could be heard over the fence.
“Is this place… an orphanage?”
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…?
