‘I might be strange, but this woman is just as odd.’
Sharti communicated through writing, yet she had no hesitation in grabbing the hand of a strange man, whose identity she didn’t know. Moreover, she showed no embarrassment in examining his body for treatment.
‘Even now.’
Though he was wearing the robe Sharti gave him, his upper body was practically bare underneath. Yet Sharti, clinging to him in such a pose, showed no sign of being affected.
He was just a patient to her. Nothing more, nothing less.
‘…But what does that matter?’
He reflexively concealed his displeasure.
For Sharti, there was no unnecessary contact or offensive intention. In fact, it was a welcome and fortunate situation.
Had someone with ill intent been looking after him, he might have awakened to torture instead of treatment.
‘Get a grip.’
He closed his eyes.
He tried his best to ignore the sensations focusing on Sharti.
‘…But I didn’t get a good look at her face when she took off the hood earlier.’
The shadows covered her face because she had her back to the moon.
Still, thanks to his night vision, he could faintly make out the contours of her face.
‘No scars.’
He knew from what he had seen earlier, but he was curious.
Why was Sharti always covering her face?
‘Sigh…’
He hesitated, then restrained himself from thoughts of burying his nose in the nape of her neck and sniffing wildly.
Like the cub poking at the robe earlier.
“So, commander, what should we do? Keep searching?”
“Of course, we continue the search if we haven’t found anything!”
“But venturing deeper into the mountains at night is dangerous. They say dawn is even more dangerous than night in the mountains. Wouldn’t it be better to come back during the day…?”
“Are you scared?”
Clang. Dodint drew his sword and pointed it at one of his soldiers.
The icy blade reflected Dodint’s fierce eyes.
“In such a search where there’s more at stake than your lives, are you really going to give up now?”
“No, no! I just meant we should come back when it’s daylight…”
“If you’re a soldier, listen to what your head is telling you!”
Having already scaled the mountain once, it was possible their target had smelled them and fled.
Desperation fueled by ambition made Dodint’s eyes flicker wildly.
“Co, commander!”
As the soldiers hesitated, Dodint gripped his sword tightly.
“What’s this fuss about!”
Dodint swung his sword directly at the bear cub.
“……Kyeeek!”
The cub narrowly escaped and crouched down, its pitiful cries echoing through the mountains.
“Bu, but in the mountains!”
A soldier, skeptical of the search, turned pale and shouted with his eyes tightly shut.
“If there’s a cub, there must be a mother bear too, right?”
“……What?”
Dodint, who had been smirking at the trembling cub, flinched.
Rustle.
“……!”
Everyone’s gaze, including Dodint’s, shifted to the direction from which they had come through the bushes. They all slowly lifted their gaze upwards.
“Rrrrrr…”
A giant bear, twice the size of an adult man and baring sharp teeth, was approaching.
“Oh, no!”
“Draw your swords now!”
“Aaaaah!”
The soldiers, retreating from the bear, reached for their swords. The bear’s roar engulfed the mountain, leaving the soldiers ashen-faced.
“……!”
Seizing the moment, Sharti quickly gathered the robe. The man then swiftly scooped her up and fled with his back to the rock.
Sharti silently admired the man’s quick action, and he chuckled as if in resignation.
“We hid our scent and used the sweet smell as bait.”
The man grimaced in disbelief as they fled.
“I had no idea it would attract that huge beast.”
He was already aware of Sharti’s reckless and dangerous plans since the cave incident.
Sharti, who regularly spread herbs to keep predators away from the cave, also knew the dangers of the mountain.
“…….”
Sharti tapped the man’s arm, signaling to be put down, but he sharply turned his head away, giving a clear snub. Sharti looked taken aback.
“How many soldiers do you think could face that bear? They must have scattered in all directions.”
“…….”
“Sigh. Just keep guiding the way. I doubt you can run much with that leg.”
His gaze drifting to her leg, Sharti quickly pulled the robe down.
Carefully fastening the robe, Sharti caught the man’s attention, who checked her breathing first.
‘Seems a bit better now.’
Throughout the escape, Sharti had been limping and gasping for breath.
She tried not to show it, but the man keenly noticed her condition.
He also found it strange how he could easily predict the soldiers’ simple range of actions, but he didn’t delve deeper into it.
Figuring out about himself could wait. Right now, he needed to get Sharti to safety.
His arms, supporting her back and the back of her knees, tensed up.
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.]
