The Duke Only Needs My Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 102
“Ivan.”
Ivan, who had just stepped out of his room to attend the state council meeting, happened to run into Katrina, who had come looking for him. At that very moment, a sigh escaped through his teeth.
It was the first time he had properly faced Katrina since yesterday’s trial.
He had been avoiding her by claiming he was too busy with state affairs and promising to visit the Grand Empress Dowager Palace as soon as matters were resolved.
In truth, it wasn’t because he was busy—it was because he dreaded facing his mother, who would likely cling to him tearfully over the issues stemming from yesterday’s trial.
But now that Katrina had gone so far as to seek him out herself, there was no more avoiding her.
Ivan quickly composed his expression and greeted her with his usual gentle demeanor as a devoted son.
“What brings you here so early in the morning, Mother? I was just about to visit you after today’s meeting anyway.”
“…Just spare me a moment. It won’t take long. Truly, just a brief moment.”
As Ivan had anticipated, Katrina showed no sign of leaving without speaking to him first.
He could have brushed past her with the excuse of being occupied with state business, but he didn’t want to tarnish his image as a filial son.
Ivan gave a subtle glance to his aide standing beside him, signaling him to wait, then entered the reception room with Katrina.
Katrina immediately got straight to the point.
“Ivan, yesterday’s trial was a setup. I didn’t kill that woman.”
Ivan let out a weary sigh, his face showing clear exhaustion at this expected response.
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.]

The rumor becomes a weapon, Ivan miscalculates badly, and Herdin’s obsession only intensifies, turning this into a dangerous game where perception matters more than truth.
Finally! She ran away, hopefully he wont find her easily.
I have to say… I’m actually liking Ivan’s character? He’s not a bad Emperor, albeit an oppurtunist, AND he is actually good at politiking

Ivan assumed Herdin would naturally request a divorce—who could keep as wife a w
I’m honestly surprised he is asking for permission. He seems crazy enough to just go ahead and do it. I mean it’s not like he really cared about Blair’s permission for things 🙄

Katrina is reaping what she sowed; she used her children and now they are using her.

I want him to remember soon his past what he did to her because it was very sad and I hope She does not forgive him very fast.

I feel a sense of emptiness as we approach the end of the novel, but it’s exciting
