The Dead Villainess Is Pregnant With The Male Lead's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 85
“Could the rumor that Madame Brienne might not be the real culprit have actually been true?”
“Was there such a rumor?”
“…Well, within our circles, at least.”
Hmm. A deep furrow formed between Killion’s brows. He seemed lost in thought. Killion spoke again.
“All the evidence points directly to her as the culprit, yet somehow I can’t shake the feeling that she isn’t.”
“Sigh…”
Onyx let out an exasperated sigh, then burst into laughter. At Onyx’s reaction, Killion replied calmly.
“You know as well as I do, don’t you? That my instincts are exceptionally sharp.”
Onyx’s eyebrows twitched as he watched Killion grin brightly. He knew full well this remark was meant to defend his own intuition from the past five years—that Veronica was still alive. It was true, so Onyx couldn’t argue.
Killion handed the memory crystal he’d brought to Onyx. The crystal captured the faint remains of a blue magic circle left on the floor.
“It was discovered in the side room next to the late Emperor’s bedchamber. As soon as I found it, I recorded it into this crystal and cast a preservation spell on the scene. But someone interfered—the spell was undone, and the faint trace vanished without a trace.”
“You suspect an inside job, then.”
“Precisely. That’s why I’ve commissioned Ashmore Intelligence Guild. The discovery of new evidence hasn’t been disclosed to the public.”
“Then who knew about this evidence?”
“Two investigators from the Mage Tower, me, my aide, and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor.”

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…?
