She was secretly pleased that he seemed well trained not to have the right to disturb her.
The idea of piling up thick dictionaries like a mountain and burying them in stacks of paper didn’t seem so bad now.
Although she felt it when she cleaned Karaf’s office before, she didn’t realize that she might have a talent for finding and organizing information.
Trying something she hadn’t done in her past life was always a joyful thing for her.
Asha leaned comfortably against the bed and opened the book that D’Art had given her.
In that book, all the personal information of the butterflies who had connections with the flowers of the royal family throughout history was recorded. Even their abilities and awakening conditions were included. The abilities of the past Banet women were very diverse, ranging from healing abilities to attack capabilities, and even abilities like clairvoyance or telekinesis. These abilities were somewhat related to the awakening conditions of each butterfly. Perhaps Aisha didn’t know that her own awakening condition was ‘going to the brink of death,’ and her ability turned out to be ‘regression.’
Carefully examining each one, Aisha was amazed at the unbelievable awakening conditions. Some butterflies awakened by getting burned, sneaking into the kitchen and awakening when they got burned in the fire as children. In her case, it was written that she was supported by the emperor to stay in the imperial palace until he came of age.
There were also peculiar awakening conditions, such as falling into water, being pricked by thorns, spending days in a completely dark room, eating things that shouldn’t be eaten, being completely alone without family or friends, or finding minerals underground.
For the butterfly immediately above her, Karaf’s mother, surprisingly, the awakening condition was ‘having a lover.’ Aisha seemed to feel a bitter taste even in the romantic awakening conditions. Since that love could never have come true…
If the previous emperors did not love her, she seemed even more pitiable. If she wasn’t a butterfly, could she have lived a happy life with another man?
Suddenly, Jakal came to mind, and Aisha felt even more confused. She wondered if he was doing well, if his wounds were completely healed.
“I miss you, Mr. Jakal…”
Aisha muttered like that, then looked around in surprise. Just in case someone heard her, she needed to be careful with her words in the palace.
Aisha gathered herself and began reading the book again.
If the chosen one as a butterfly did not awaken until they came of age, quietly forfeiting the qualifications of a butterfly, the opportunity would be given to another woman.
There were no records left about women who had their butterfly qualifications forfeited. Without awakening as a butterfly, there was no way for them to know that they were butterflies.
However, as she delved further into history, Aisha discovered one unusual awakening condition. It might seem like an embarrassing awakening condition that would make one’s face turn bright red, but it was none other than ‘having the first intimate relationship.’
Until they had a relationship, it was impossible to know if they were a butterfly, and having a relationship with a man was a very awkward awakening condition. According to historical records, the man was a commoner and already married with a child when he had a relationship with the butterfly. However, the fate of the husband and the child was…’death.’

According to historical records, the man was a commoner, already married to and having a child with the butterfly. However, the fate of the husband and the child was…’death.’
In the palace, they couldn’t accept a married woman with another man and child as the empress. Therefore, these innocent individuals were instead sentenced to death.
Aisha’s face became serious, feeling somehow that it wasn’t her business.
However, at that moment, “Baroness, I’m Sonya. May I come in for a moment?”
“Sure, come in.”
Aisha closed the book for a moment.
Sonya approached her and handed her a golden invitation.
“Lilac Duchess has sent an invitation.”
“Lilac Duchess?”
Opening the invitation with a puzzled expression, it contained formal greetings and an invitation to a tea party, expressing a desire to invite her to the event in celebration of the ‘Month of Flower Arrangement,’ where she needed to choose a lady-in-waiting from among the noble young ladies.
Certainly, Sonya had too much work to do, and, above all, the nobles’ eyes were on her.
Now that she formally ascended to the position of empress, it was customary to invite noblewomen to the palace to choose a lady-in-waiting during the ‘Month of Flower Arrangement.’
Originally, when becoming empress, it was customary to invite nobles to the palace to choose a lady-in-waiting.
In the past, she had received advice from the chief maid and followed suit.
However, she had been laughed at by the nobles, and the lady-in-waiting chosen by the nobles had ultimately been at their will, not hers.
It seemed like an offer of goodwill on the surface, but Aisha, who had recently entered the palace, keenly sensed an underlying power struggle masked as goodwill.
Even Aisha, who knew little about noble life, could detect the subtle fight.
Once she even thought about making friends with her peers.
However, after being completely rejected by them, she concluded that it was better to be alone.
Imagining how many sneers and mockery she would face at the tea party, Aisha felt her head involuntarily throbbing.
Although she strongly wanted to refuse, it was difficult to decline since it was hosted by the Lilac Duchess.
Having made an excuse of feeling unwell and not attending the recent dinner with the five families, using the same excuse again was noticeable.
‘Anyway, I have to see their faces once…….’
Aisha sighed, touching her forehead with one hand.
If she continued to avoid them, the arrow of criticism would eventually be aimed at Karaf.
Creating unfavorable rumors is a habit of the nobles, so there were rumors that the emperor, to prevent any scandal involving Baroness from spreading, would either become an emperor who doesn’t show Baroness to anyone and keeps her tightly wrapped, or would imprison Baroness in the palace, fearing that Baroness might cause another scandal by having an affair.
Either way, it was a troublesome matter.
But then, Sonia, excitedly said from the side, “Baroness! You have to go and clear everything!”
“……What?”
Aisha, thinking she might have misheard, looked at Sonia with widened eyes.
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…?
