Neris, who had trouble memorizing the names of her classmates, was first impressed by Rianon through a letter.
[I want to be friends with you. Nona]Young Neris knew that her friends did not like her, and that fact bothered her.
She didn’t need anyone to play with during free time because she was busy reading books, but being hated was a sad thing for anyone.
It was quite troublesome when she had to pair up with someone in the classroom, and no one wanted to be paired with Neris.
Her perfect world before entering school quickly collapsed.
The letter arrived about three seasons after she started school. The buzzing around her, something flying into her hair, sudden slaps on the shoulder from passing people were annoying, and Neris soothed herself by reading a book in her secret place.
It happened that she was reading a book that day too. A letter envelope that someone had inserted in the middle of the book fell out.
Reading the content inside the envelope, Neris was quite excited. Who was the sender?
It wouldn’t be a classmate. All the freshmen who entered the same year hated her, avoiding her because she smelled or had bad habits.
Could it be one of the upperclassmen who hadn’t heard the bad rumors yet?
Delighted Neris immediately accepted the pen pal.
[I want to be friends with you too. Neris.]Since the book had to be returned to the school library, the letter went into Neris’s locker drawer. The book in which the first letter was inserted was also stored in the locker drawer. The sender would probably visit her locker drawer again.
Had Nona seen the reply? Neris, who hardly slept that night with anxiety, anticipation, and joy, was delighted to see Nona’s letter in her drawer the next day.
[I’m glad. What do you like, Neris? Nona.]The letters were exchanged almost daily. Neris poured out to Nona all the romantic lines and favorite scenes she read in books, and her childhood fantasies.
Neris fundamentally liked to talk and was full of imagination. Nona listened well and responded kindly to clumsy and dreamlike stories, such as there being fairies in the lake or a sad tale behind a huge painting hung in Aine’s main building.
[Neris’s stories are always fun. Is the story of seeing a fairy in the lake something you read in a book? You spoke as if you witnessed it yourself, so I was briefly deceived into thinking it was real. I want to get closer to Neris. Nona.]It was the first time someone had said they wanted to be closer. Neris increasingly relied on Nona. Even if the children ignored Neris during class time, thinking of sending a letter to Nona made her forget the pain.
[Thank you. I want to keep being close friends with you too. I really like you. Let’s be friends for life. I have a secret place I sometimes go to, let’s make a vow of friendship there. Neris.] [I really like you too. Is the secret place where you said you sometimes go to read? Where is your secret place? I want to go too. Nona.]Neris’s range of activities was different from other freshmen. The buildings that the freshmen often went to soon became Neris’s avoidance targets. There was no good to come from meeting others.
So she often found herself in the abandoned backyard of an old building, where only the upperclassmen occasionally took classes. It was a place she learned about while earning pocket money through school volunteer work.
It was springtime. In a season when the whole world wakes up, filled with bright colors, that yard looked quiet and lonely.
Neris split the money she earned from volunteer work to buy flower seeds. And she planted the seeds in a small patch of ground in the backyard where the sunlight came in.
The buds that sprouted from the seeds were stunted due to a lack of sunlight, but that made Neris like them even more.
See, she wanted to shout, I’m not just someone who can memorize and can’t do anything else, there are lives here that need me. She wanted to show off and brag to someone proudly.
Neris hesitated not a moment to teach Nona the place, always sending letters to Nona with detailed descriptions and explanations, as usual.
The next day, Neris found her secret place thoroughly ransacked and was devastated.
The grownups who had cleared the overgrown weeds in the yard were clearly not the culprits, for the only mess was the small sunny spot she had carefully tended and grown flowers in.
[Did you come to the secret place? Neris.]It was not a doubt. How could she doubt her first friend made at this school?
A letter sent simply to ask for circumstances went unanswered. Neris was disheartened and sad.
The children’s bullying grew worse by the day. One by one, her other secret places were discovered. She was always confused. Why are they tormenting me like this?
It was a little later that Neris found a secret place in the library and could take refuge safely, so she wandered about feeling lonely during this time. Neris became a quieter child.
How many weeks had passed since then? Neris was paired with Rianon in the public Runde language class.
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…?
