Surviving as the Adopted Daughter of the Genius Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 35
Kirian watched his older sister through a crack in the window as she chose her jewelry.
Though it was more accurate to say Reina was silently observing the Duchess and Eliza, who were fussing beside her, rather than actually picking anything herself.
His sister, dressed in a lilac gown with half her hair braided up with jewels and the other half flowing long in gentle waves, shone no matter which accessory she held near her.
Surely, she would appear at the party just like this—radiant and dazzling—escorted by Prince Kshia.
Since he hadn’t been invited to the party, he could only watch from afar.
When Kirian clenched his fist tightly, the tree he was hiding behind trembled slightly, its leaves rustling.
His mother, sensing something odd, sharply turned her head this way—but Kirian had already slipped from the tree and hidden himself within the deepening twilight shadows.
If he didn’t want to be caught, staying far from the party tonight was indeed the right choice.
He suspected his father had already noticed him, but he’d narrowly avoided his mother’s watchful eyes every single time—the most dangerous of the two.
At least his father wouldn’t chase after him during the party by kicking off his uncomfortable shoes and sprinting full speed, but his mother was the type who would do exactly that if she set her mind to it.
Yet, the moment he imagined Reina dancing hand in hand with Prince Kshia amid everyone’s cheers, his stomach twisted, and he simply couldn’t stay still any longer.
Before he even realized it, Kirian’s feet had already turned toward the party.
Marquis Magine opened and closed his fan with an impatient flick of his wrist.
This party truly had nothing about it that pleased him.
What were those crowds of commoner children doing here? And all this commotion over some dull presentation? Worst of all, his own daughter—whom he was almost ashamed to call by that name—had outright refused to attend, claiming she was too afraid to present in front of people.

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…?
