The Duke Only Needs My Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 85
“Then please wait comfortably, madam.”
The head steward of the Imperial Palace, who had escorted her to the reception room, left, and shortly afterward, a maid brought in tea. Once even the maid had departed, Blair was left alone in the spacious reception room.
Blair waited for Ivan while sipping her tea. Since she had come unannounced to see the Emperor, who was swamped with affairs of state, she had no choice but to wait indefinitely.
Just as Blair, weary from waiting, began to doze off, the door to the reception room opened. Hearing the sound, Blair instantly snapped awake.
Ivan strode in and sat down opposite Blair, regarding his younger sister with a peculiar expression.
“How unusual. You’ve come all the way here to see me first.”
The two siblings could hardly be described as close.
Ivan often disapproved of Blair, who occasionally outshone him, and Blair, in turn, avoided her elder brother out of fear.
More precisely, it was Katrina—her brother’s favored parent who clearly disliked Blair—that she truly feared.
Thus, Blair had spent her entire life drifting on the periphery, never truly fitting in between the two, merely serving as an ornamental piece in a family that looked good only on the surface.
“I’m sorry for coming so suddenly without any prior notice.”
“Well, I can hardly refuse to spare a little time for my only sister. I’m curious—what urgent matter brings you here?”
Just then, a maid entered, placed tea before Ivan, refilled Blair’s cup, and quietly left the reception room.
Blair watched silently as Ivan lifted his teacup, then cautiously began to speak.
“Please stop conscripting him into monster-hunting missions.”
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…?

If it means letting you go, I’d rather become the most despicable villain in the
Ohhh this is bordering some grey areas. LIKE REALLY! and the nuance here, exists because Blair has been using him to get her pregnant, without him knowing it. Now he’s doing the same thing, but he’s doing it in such a visible way. it’s so disturbing. Blaming the both of them would be the best.
Towel in hand, Herdin roughly dried his hair as he headed toward Blair’s bedroom
Herdin walking toward Blair’s bedroom “so naturally it seemed second nature” — he doesn’t even notice he’s already claimed her as home.
He reflected on exactly what he was trying to protect by building this impenetra
Herdin standing over sleeping Blair asking himself what he’s even trying to protect… and the answer being HER all along 🥺.
