The happy moment passed quickly.
Brody soon came to her senses(?) and pushed him away, escaping from his embrace.
He let Brody go, feeling regretful.
“Are you okay?”
But her voice was still sobbing.
“I’m fine, perfectly fine.”
Aidan gave Brody a smile to reassure her.
But he soon realized that it was a meaningless gesture.
It was too dark to see each other’s expressions.
So he groped around with both hands and found Brody’s face. He then touched his forehead to hers.
“See, I’m alive, aren’t I?”
When their noses lightly bumped together, Brody shivered, feeling as if an electric current was running through her.
This was not the time for this.
She felt like her mind might fly away at any moment.
Brody pushed him away in anger, trying to hide her panic.
“I’m glad you’re okay. I don’t even know if I’m dead or alive right now.”
She reached out her hand.
Then, from what seemed like a distant cliff above, a faint green light like fireflies gently fell down.
Aidan looked at the falling lights with a mesmerized expression. He thought they were like the snowflakes of the north.
But when the light balls came close, Aidan finally realized what they were.
They were flower buds holding light.
The fluttering flower buds gathered around them and between them, piling up.
Aidan reached out and picked up one of the buds.
In the faint and warm light, they were barely able to recognize each other.
The light reflected mysteriously in her tearful eyes.
Aidan doubted if this was really not a dream.
It felt like they were the only ones in this dark world.
It seemed okay to stay like this forever, always, even for a lifetime.
Brody also couldn’t take her eyes off the falling flower buds for a while, even though it was her own doing.
Then, one of the flowers fell and landed on Aidan’s head.
Naturally, Brody looked at Aidan.
He was looking at Brody with warm eyes and a pleased smile.
As if to say, she looked so lovely he could go mad.
Their eyes met in a complicated way.
Brody’s heart started beating wildly.
But she soon bowed her head and came to her senses.
There was not much time.
“It’s a glow flower. So, it absorbed sunlight from above and is holding the light for a while. The light will disappear soon.”
She looked around, relying on the dim light.
“Good, everything went as planned.”
Brody muttered proudly.
Aidan looked around in amazement.
Thick moss had grown all around them within a radius of three meters. Unbelievably thick, about two spans.
What had soaked his back was this moss.
The moss had cushioned the fall, and thanks to it, Aidan had not lost his life.
“Is anything broken?”
Aidan moved around, checking his body.
“I seem fine.”
Brody nodded, sighing with relief.
She took off her cloak and gathered a lot of glow flowers on it and picked them up.
It was not enough to provide adequate lighting, but it was enough to distinguish the path.
And it was quite atmospheric.
“Okay. Let’s go. Oops.”
Brody, who was about to get up, suddenly staggered.
Aidan was startled and caught her.
Since she had taken off her cloak, his hand directly touched her bare skin, covered only by a light shortsleeved dress.
“Hmm, are you okay?”
He asked, hiding his face that seemed to flush for some reason.
“Well… I don’t know. It’s my first time feeling like this.”
Maybe because she suddenly used a lot of strength. Or because she had fallen off a cliff for the first time.
Her eyes were spinning, and her legs were wobbly. It felt as if her body wanted to collapse right then and there.
Seeing her lean on him as she was caught, he promptly lifted Brody.
Since Brody didn’t have the confidence to walk on her own if she refused, she simply gave in.
With flowers in his arms, and holding Brody, Aidan began to walk.
The bottom of the pit that fell vertically seemed to be connected to a horizontal cave.
As they carefully avoided slippery rocks and walked, a crumpled archlike shadow appeared at the far end.
It was the exit.
As they neared the shadow of light, a quacking noise struck their ears.
Crossing the boundary where darkness ended and walking into the sunlight, Aidan doubted his eyes.
A waterfall that appeared to be at least 10 meters wide was cascading down.
This place was neither a relief nor an open area, but a strange space.
Surrounded by cliffs like a circular stadium, the ceiling was open, and the sky was visible.
And on one side of the wall, a waterfall was falling, creating a small lake at the bottom.
Although small, it looked to be over 100 meters wide.
One side of the wall had an opening that served as an entrance, and the stagnant water seemed to flow in that direction.
“Incredible.”
The words were uttered upon seeing the landscape, but coming out to the light, both of them looked quite a sight.
Their hair was a mess, their skin was injured here and there, and their clothes were not clean.
Having fallen into moss, their bodies were covered with damp stains.
Aidan carefully set Brody down in a place near the water’s edge.
“Shall we wash up?”
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…?
