“Why? Why again, what? I gave it the same as before, didn’t I?”
The Duke’s expression was as if it had reverted to the first day he met him.
“Something seems wrong?”
Aidan said to Brody, wrapping his head as if he were about to die.
But Brody took that expression as a ‘face that looks like it will kill.’
Although he had been watching him all this time and felt that he wasn’t really a bad person, he felt terrified when facing that ferocious expression.
‘It’s not for nothing that he’s nicknamed the Ice Wall Duke.’
Brody, with a thoughtful look on his face, bowed to Aidan and apologized, then thought frantically about what the problem could have been.
‘There must be a difference, a difference.’
First day, a night with Mesh.
Second day, captured and passed out.
Third day, just tea. Heard a word and started feeding Mesh.
Fourth day, a lethal dose of Mesh and antidote.
Fifth day, an adequate amount of Mesh. Heard another word.
No, Mesh is not the answer? Then, what on earth is…….
One night? Is it so satisfying? But that’s not it. The third and fourth nights were spent without any problems. So what’s the difference?
While pondering, Brody suddenly realized something.
And at the same time, he became pale.
‘The third and fourth days, I matched mouths to feed extra Mesh or antidote.’
Then, in every situation, he could find ‘a single variable.’
‘The difference… Is it ‘me’?’
[This is a time separator.]From then on, Brody conducted experiments every night.
After putting him to sleep with a proper amount of Mesh, she tried holding only his hand.
‘If it’s a problem of contact, this will solve it.’
But it didn’t work. Brody, with a thoughtful look on her face, apologized fervently.
As the Ice Wall Duke’s expression worsened, the atmosphere among his subordinates who had been hanging around seemed to become more ferocious.
Brody, feeling as if she were sitting on a bed of thorns, endured, suppressing the desire to escape.
Next, she tried kissing him once.
It had an effect.
‘Is it necessary to kiss?’
She thought how absurd the cause might be, but she had to accept it in this fantasy world where she, a botanist, exists.
Such a thing seemed possible.
For several days, Brody put up with it by putting him to sleep with Mesh and kissing, and when she felt the tense atmosphere around her ease, she tried something else.
She dropped a droplet of her blood, drop, into his mouth.
And the next day.
It had… an effect!
‘It’s not about kissing, but body fluids.’
But what could be done knowing the cause?
‘Anyway, I need to be by his side.’
But she thought she could somehow bear it if it was only a matter of kissing a sleeping person. For the time being, at least.
And as the Duke became more comfortable, the treatment of Brody by the soldiers seemed to improve gradually.
A woman who lives beside the Duke.
She thought they might regard her as a sort of favorite concubine.
Having escaped from the lifethreatening crisis, Brody felt more at ease and began to ponder other concerns.
‘But then, it’s not that he likes the tea, is it? It’s not an obsession with taste, is there another reason?’
Brody observed Aidan.
Aidan left her alone, whether he looked at her or not.
She, who had been observing repeatedly, knew a lot about Aidan but could not find the cause.
It’s only one or two days that she doesn’t even move and stays in the barracks, Brody felt frustrated.
“Your Highness.”
Aidan was startled by Brody’s call.
She had never spoken to him first before.
“Why is that?”
Aidan took his eyes off the map and looked at Brody with a puzzled expression.
“When do I have to stay here?”
“Is there something lacking?”
At that word, Brody slightly furrowed her brows.
No, she’s confined to the barracks and living like livestock, how could that be satisfying?
Well, the thought must be stuck that it’s somewhere that treats a ‘prisoner’ this way.
It’s not a world where human rights are so precious, after all.
But surprisingly, Aidan seemed to notice Brody’s small change in expression.
He even got up and approached Brody to ask.
“If there is something I can do, I will do it.”
At the unexpected reaction, Brody blinked her eyes and looked at Aidan.
“Your Highness, I have thought a lot about it, but I don’t know what you want.”
“What does that mean?”
Seeing Brody, who usually didn’t say a word, speak fluently and boldly, Aidan was flustered.
‘Was it not that she was awkward with words or observant, but that she deliberately didn’t speak?’
And that speculation was correct.
Brody had reduced her words on purpose, so as not to get involved with this place in order to escape.
“If you want delicious tea, I’ll give you the recipe.”
Aidan flinched.
Would she give the secret that could eliminate his chronic headache?
No, did she know before that I suffer from headaches?
“Or do you want to spend the night with me? I don’t think so.”
This time, Aidan’s face turned red.
Aren’t you ashamed, a woman speaking like that so fluently?
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…?
