Lady Devil - Chapter 85
#85
“Are you that desperate?”
And for some reason, a slightly sharp question flowed from beneath the slightly lowered back of his hand. I believe I raised my eyes. It was partly because I didn’t fully understand the meaning of the question, but more so because I felt a sense of déjà vu from what I had just heard.
How did you end up like this? What have you been through? In other words, it was exactly the same tone I had heard from Johannes just before coming down to the south, right after that devilish and vicious night.
Though I didn’t know the full context, Johannes’ anger must have stemmed from the disbelief that I myself was well aware of, so I wanted to explain first.
However, I momentarily forgot to answer due to a feeling of dizziness at the back of my head. Suddenly recalling past events, I subconsciously noticed that there was something amiss in Johannes’ statement.
The pieces that had fit together well within me until then probably started to come apart little by little from that moment. However, the gap in the misaligned seam was so narrow that I wasn’t aware of it at the time.
I just stared blankly at Johannes. A heated silence flowed through the inner chamber. Realizing that Johannes’ hand gripping one of my shoulders was trembling unmistakably, I was about to open my mouth with difficulty when Johannes spoke first.
“I thought I had completely lost you this time.”
It was a voice as if he was about to kneel before me.
“I thought… you would never, truly never, rise again.”
The last voice that flowed out like rainwater was so unstable. The sharpness that Johannes had shown momentarily earlier was completely dulled and not a trace remained.
I pulled my upper body, which had been pressed close to Johannes, back a little. I brought his hand that was resting on my shoulder down to my chest and grasped it with both hands. It was almost a reflexive action. Because it seemed as if he would collapse right away if I didn’t hold onto him.
“I’m sorry.”
“……”
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…?
