No matter how strong a person is, they tend to have a weak spot.

For Hyuk Joo, it was his late mother.

His mother always just repeated that she was fine when he asked about her wellbeing. Although he felt that his mother’s voice was not the same as before while on the phone, Hyuk Joo didn’t think much of it.

His mother was a person who was often sickly.

From the time he was young, she spent a lot of time lying in bed, so even when her voice was weak, he didn’t notice that something was wrong.

However, the mother he met after a year was at the end of her life.

Her once glossy hair had become brittle to the point where it made a rustling sound every time she moved her head slightly.

Her once white skin was now patchy, and due to her emaciated body, he initially thought the person lying in bed was not his mother.

‘……Hyuk Joo.’

At the sound of his name, Hyuk Joo burst into tears. Even to his young eyes, it seemed that the time allotted to his mother was not long.

He couldn’t even act up and ask why she didn’t say she was in pain. He instinctively realized that during such time, he needed to feel his mother’s warmth for a few more seconds.

Then, his cell phone vibrated briefly.

“Ha……”

Lost in thought, Hyuk Joo got up from his seat.

It was a message from Eun Soo.

Thanks to the message from his wife, Hyuk Joo remembered the dinner appointment he had momentarily forgotten.

He had arranged a dinner and drinks with a few friends. It was to celebrate the return of a friend who had finished working at an overseas branch.

Hyuk Joo immediately pressed the call button and dialed Eun Soo.

“I might be a bit late.”

— Yes.

It would have been nice if she had said something cliché like hoping he wouldn’t be too late.

But as always, Eun Soo responded briefly in a calm tone.

“Eun Soo.”

— Yes.

“Don’t wait, go to sleep first.”

— I will.

There was a brief silence.

As if they were both waiting for the other to hang up first, Hyuk Joo and Eun Soo said nothing.

— Hyuk Joo, my aunt is calling me. I’ll hang up first.

“Alright.”

Before Hyuk Joo’s response had even finished, Eun Soo hung up the phone.

Hyuk Joo massaged his chin with his hand at the dry conversation.

Eun Soo was the closest person to him. But sometimes, she seemed as distant as if she were on the other side of the earth.

He wondered if he might be the same to her.

“Now, take these home everyone.”

Hyuk Joo stared at Hwang Jun Kyung, who put small packaged boxes on the table. The other friends also made faces, wondering what it was all of a sudden.

“What are you looking at?”

“What’s this?”

“Chocolate.”

At the mention of chocolate, Hyuk Joo picked up a box. Come to think of it, it was a familiar brand he had seen on his trip to Europe.

“Take it home. It’s a gift to celebrate Hwang Jun Kyung’s return.”

“Hey, why chocolates?”

There were grumbles coming from everywhere, even though they didn’t like sweets. Hyuk Joo put the box of chocolates back on the table.

“Hey, don’t put it down, take it. Everyone, take it and give it to your wives as a gift.”

Hwang Jun Kyung was the first among Hyuk Joo’s friends to get married. With one daughter and one son, he was expecting his third child this fall.

Thanks to that, he often proudly showed off that he had the happiest family among the group.

“Do you think women like it when we give them extravagant gifts? No. At first, my Soo Jin liked it when I gave her necklaces and bags as gifts, but at some point, she started to become indifferent.”

“So instead of that, should we buy chocolates?”

“Lee Ji Woong, you always missed the point, even when we were in school. Hey, man! It’s not about the chocolates. It’s about the little things, things that show thought and care.”

Seeing Jun Kyung about to start a long speech, Hyuk Joo drank the rest of his wine. It seemed like a good idea to get up at the right moment.

While waiting for the right timing, he received a message from Eun Soo.

It was a dry message without a single word asking him to make time even if he was busy. Hyuk Joo knew well that Eun Soo didn’t say such things out of consideration for him.

It used to be nice when she was exceptionally considerate, but now he felt a sense of regret as she seemed indifferent towards him.

Hyuk Joo responded, suggesting they go together.

It was an impulsive decision. Due to the sudden weekend plan, he would likely have a busy day tomorrow.

As he put down his cell phone, he could hear Jun Kyung’s chatter.

“When I was in Germany, it was Soo Jin’s birthday. I had asked my motherinlaw to send seaweed to Germany, and I cooked seaweed soup myself. When she saw the seaweed soup on her birthday morning, Soo Jin cried her eyes out.”

“Wasn’t she crying because she thought you were giving her something tasteless to eat?”

“Ha, anyway, Ji Woong, that kid is always spoiling the mood.”

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…?

[Reading Guide]

1. True divorce, chasing the wife to the crematorium, the female lead doesn’t look back, the male lead is Xie Yi.

2. The ex-husband did not cheat, he just realized too late and didn’t realize that he liked the female lead.
