The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 210
The debutante ball marked the official start of the social season.
High society plunged into competition, and newspapers busily churned out reports on charity events, social gatherings, exhibitions, concerts, formal banquets, and balls.
Events were held everywhere, drawing people together.
And now, the reputations of social figures began to solidify in earnest, with all sorts of rumors spreading far and wide.
Under the name “Christina Julius,” Reina’s reputation soared skyward.
The newly revealed “Christina Julius” indisputably ascended as the queen of high society, and the knights who danced with her—whether noble or common—were all praised without distinction.
“…….”
Lady Christina, accompanied by Arthur, the Crown Prince, Rembrandt, and the knights, was lauded for showcasing a grace and generosity long forgotten by high society.
When I read the expert column analyzing in meticulous detail what Christina had supposedly conveyed through her dancing, I couldn’t help but think, Did I really do all that?
To any observer, it would seem as if a once-in-a-century genius dancer had descended like a comet.
There were also plenty of boastful exaggerations and utterly fabricated rumors.
Though I’d never played an instrument or gone near one, newspapers brazenly reported as fact that Christina had displayed remarkable piano skills or performed on the harp, and various false accounts claimed sightings of her in the garden or in the company of the Crown Prince.
These stories, clearly untrue and easily disproven upon verification, were nonetheless published to catch readers’ attention with lines like, “Could it really be true?” or “Is it really as they say?”
Less than half of it was true.
Yet, a few of these tales would inevitably circulate as if they were facts.
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…?
