Fortunately, unlike the original work where I didn’t even know that the villain was a foe of the Duke of Libertan, I had some knowledge about that background.
At that moment, the butler suddenly opened the door and entered.
“Miss. The master calls you.”
The day I had been waiting for finally came. The day when I was sold off like a commodity to be married to the villain.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]I was obediently closing my eyes. This was because the villain, who was thorough in keeping secrets, took me in a carriage with a blindfold.
‘It’s just like the original so far.’
The Duke of Libertan, who suddenly called me, gave me all the words I wanted.
‘It’s now your turn to repay the love you’ve received in this house in place of Estelle.’
‘If you’re a human who knows what gratitude is, you’d know what you have to do.’
And now, it’s that time.
The moving carriage stopped. The moment I heard someone’s footsteps, the blindfold that was blocking my sight smoothly fell off.
My vision did not return immediately, probably because I had been blindfolded for a long time. As I blinked my eyes obediently, my surroundings slowly came into view.
There was a man right in front of me.
A stunningly handsome man filled my field of vision.
Elegant black hair, noble and handsome features, and among them, his crimson eyes were particularly sparkling.
Yohan Blanchett.
The most eligible bachelor of the empire, who had restored a fallen duchy at a young age and became its ruler.
His face, where lethargy and neatness coexisted, was different from his muscular body, which made people tense just by looking at it.
“Hello, wife.”
When he smiled softly, deep dimples appeared on his left cheek. His cold face suddenly became refreshing, like a boy.
“Is this our first time seeing each other?”
“……”
“Were you scared on the way?”
His lazy voice sounded genuinely worried about me. My heart involuntarily throbbed at his attractive exterior.
He’s really a harmful man in many ways.
‘It’s all fake. Calm down.’
The goal of this handsome man is to play with me until his grudge is satisfied and completely ruin me.
‘You can’t escape at all.’
‘Just like me, all your family members have to suffer till the end of hell.’
Remembering the man’s revenge I read in the original work, I could slightly get over the shock of seeing the handsome man.
But the man’s actions did not stop there. The man’s hand, clad in black gloves, covered my hand.
His large hand was big enough to completely cover my hand and still have some room left. At the sudden contact, my body tensed. He whispered in a subtle voice into my ear.
“Are you scared of me, wife?”
In the original work, Estelle, after being amazed by her husband’s appearance, was scared when she heard those words and eventually burst into tears.
‘I can understand.’
Despite the gentle whispering, I could feel the pressure from the man. It felt as if I was being crushed by the overwhelming presence of a threatening beast in front of me.
“No. I wasn’t scared.”
But I couldn’t show it. His crimson eyes were slightly narrowed, observing the reaction of ‘Estelle’.
‘What does the villain want?’
I thought about what the villain thinks of me. Estelle is an orphan adopted in place of the Libertan princess who died of an incurable disease at a young age.
A blessed adopted child who grew up happily and lavishly in the enemy’s Duke of Libertan.
Actually, she was abused, but nobody knew about it. I slowly grabbed the man’s hand and smiled gently.
“I was just surprised to meet you for the first time.”
“Really?”
“Isn’t it strange for a wife to be scared of her husband whom she met for the first time?”
“Is it strange?”
The man, who had been watching me, smiled, raising the corner of his mouth slightly.
“There were many people who were scared of me as soon as they saw me. In fact, you have enough conditions to be like that.”
“Why?”
The reflection of me on the man’s red pupils looked harmless.
“You were abandoned by your family and sold to me.”
The man added slowly.
“And that too, for money.”
He grinned at me with eerie red eyes, like a beast looking at its prey.
The sensation of the man’s breath spreading around her neck made her hair stand on end, and goosebumps appeared on her skin.
“Do you not feel a sense of betrayal towards your parents?”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Johann looked at his new wife.
Estelle Libertan.
She was nothing more than a target for his revenge.
To be honest, Estelle, who is not even the real daughter of the Libertan, is not guilty. But she is a daughter who the Duke and Duchess Libertan care for as much as their own daughter.
Just for that, she became an important chess piece in this grand revenge.
“Hello, wife.”
Creamy pink hair as soft as cream, lovely features like a carefully crafted sugar doll. His slightly scared reaction was as he wanted.
He even purposely put on a blindfold for it.
“Do you find me scary, wife?”
Especially being sold for money by the family she trusted. It was certainly a perfect state for being confused and anxious.
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.]
