“I can’t take my eyes off you now.”
“Huh…?”
Caught up in the sensations on her back and wrist, she had forgotten what conversation they were having.
As a sound similar to a moan slipped out from between Iris’s red, plump lips, he narrowed his eyes and laid Iris down on the long chair inside the carriage.
His eyes glowed darkly.
“This… this is inside the carriage.”
“Do you think a beast would care about that?”
The weight of Kevrant pressed heavily on her belly and thighs.
Iris clenched her eyes shut.
His lips grazed her earlobe, and his fingers delved deep into her hair as if scratching her scalp.
At every place his lips and hands touched, at every place his weight pressed down, it felt as if electricity was bursting inside her.
Iris could feel her heart pounding and her breathing quickening.
When he bit her earlobe, when he sucked on her neck, she almost let out a moan several times, but she swallowed it back down.
There was no thought of refusing this act that naturally followed after marrying Kevrant.
No matter what Kevrant wanted, no matter how many times he wanted, she was prepared to do anything.
But.
‘What should I do?’
Iris was confused.
‘How should I react?’
In her past life, it hadn’t been like this.
Even when she was beneath Alford, her heart pounded and her breathing quickened. She had moaned too.
But that was a reaction caused by fear, disgust, and pain.
She was experiencing this sweet, ticklish, numb, and sticky feeling for the first time, so she was afraid and embarrassed about how she might react. On the other hand, she felt nauseous because the situation overlapped with what happened with Alford.
She felt sorry for Kevrant.
Kevrant was neither rough nor disgusting like that man. Despite their marriage being a political strategy, he showed her consideration by being with her even in far places.
“Relax, Iris.”
She was so tense that she didn’t realize Kevrant had withdrawn.
While gently sitting her up so as not to hurt her, Kevrant took Iris’s wrist and spoke.
“I told you before, I like it hot.”
“I see.”
Barely responding, Iris bowed her head as if adjusting her clothes. Her face was burning.
“Please understand that I am trying different things to make you hot.”
“You can do anything.”
“You shouldn’t answer like that, Iris.”
Expecting a positive response, Kevrant sternly spoke, lifting Iris’s chin with his index finger to make her look at him.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Iris with dark eyes.
“You should refuse if you don’t like it.”
For some reason, Iris felt affection in that short sentence.
No one had ever said such words to her.
Suddenly, the voices that had scorned Iris in the past came to mind.
Do it even if you don’t want to. What if you don’t like it?
You don’t like it? Did you just say you don’t like it with that mouth?
Do it if I tell you! I’ve fed and put you to sleep, you should at least do that! You’re like a parasite.
The words that had hurt and crushed her past life faded into a blur at Kevrant’s single sentence.
Iris felt a twinge in her eyes and gently turned her head to the side.
“I understand.”
+++
Iris stood in front of a house that looked so dilapidated that it could collapse at any moment.
She had come here by piecing together memories of her past life.
‘Gauzer…’
The fact that he, who was once dignified as the steward of the Witlow family, was living in a place like this was heartbreaking.
“Who lives here?”
After traveling a long distance by carriage to reach their destination, Kevrant asked as if surprised that the house was near the slums.
“Gauzer. He was the former steward of the Witlow family.”
Even in the Duke Witlow’s residence, there were people who pitied Iris. Gauzer was a prime example of that.
Whenever the maids looked down on Iris or ridiculed her, whenever the serving girls took advantage of Iris, whenever Britney hit or insulted Iris harshly, Gauzer always stood up for Iris.
“One day, I pleaded with the Duke of Witlow to improve my situation. As a result, I was expelled. After being expelled, I was also divorced by my wife.”
“I see.”
“I am going to hire Gauzer as the manager of the Lavent mine.”
“I can’t, Lishi. I don’t want someone who was a person of Witlow in my mansion.”
Kevrant anticipated the opposition.
“It’s not bringing into the mansion. I’m hiring him in my mine. Under my name.”
When Lishi spoke firmly, Kevrant propped Lishi’s chin with his forefinger.
“Lishi, do you know something interesting about you? Sometimes you seem obedient, but sometimes you are very scary.”
Lishi also squinted her eyes and gently grasped his finger, lowering it.
“I’m not particularly interested in knowing that.”
“You should leave the mine to someone you can really trust. And I have several subordinates I can trust.”
“But they are not my subordinates.”
“Now my subordinates are also your subordinates.”
“Would they kill you for me?”
“I suppose not.”
“But they could kill me for you.”
Kevrant could not answer this.
Lishi laughed softly and tapped his chest lightly.
“A man who interferes too much in his wife’s affairs is not attractive, Kevrant.”
“Shut up and watch?”
“Yes.”
Kevrant laughed, showing his selected teeth. Lishi liked it when Kevrant smiled like that.
“I understand, wife. Do as you wish.”
Only after Kevrant stepped back, Lishi knocked on the door.
Knock Knock
She waited for a moment, but there was no response.
Knock Knock
Inside was quiet.
Unable to watch any longer, Kevrant stepped forward and kicked the door.
Bang bang!
Then, from inside, along with the sound of something falling with a thud, a curse, “Damn, bastard!” was heard.
But Lishi stood high and waited for the door to open.
Gauzer.
A talented individual who would later be recognized by the Emperor, manage the imperial finances, and swell the imperial wealth with his unique aggressive and clever investments.
Lishi definitely wanted to make Gauzer her own man.
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.]
