The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 35
Poroong… chirp chirp.
“…….”
Reina opened her eyes to the crisp autumn breeze on her cheeks, the morning sunlight, and the birdsong.
As always on mornings when she’d slept in a bit late.
Arthur was absent, Brody was present, and there was a knight standing by the door.
And Doctor Lorenson sat at the table, pouring tea and waiting for Reina to wake up.
It was a sweet morning.
“…….”
Though she’d lived as a maid for over ten years, she was astonished at how quickly her body had grown accustomed—so helplessly accustomed—to sleeping in late in someone else’s clean, cozy bed as if it were perfectly natural.
She felt newly sorry for her body, which longed to stay buried just a little longer beneath the blankets, reveling in this happiness.
If she had to return to a life of sleeping only three hours, she doubted she could readjust within a week.
Once back on that rotten wooden bed with its damp, musty blankets, she knew she’d miss this clean, warm one.
“…….”
Reina stirred and sat up with a rustle.
Normally, Brody would have come over to drape a shawl around her so she wouldn’t rise in her nightclothes in front of the knight and the doctor—but…
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…?

Brody was anxiously watching Reina's reaction.
Very interesting. I though brody would be more arrogant. I enjoy multifaceted characters
Wasn’t she a natural-born intelligence genius?
This is funny and sad at the same time… what do you mean he is so delusional he is giving meaning to things
Hmm. He may now effectively be considered the eldest son.
Phew for a second I was confused lol… it wasn’t clocking to me
