The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 186
The troublesome labyrinthine situation was surprisingly resolved quickly.
A remarkably courteous proposal arrived: “Since it is the family custom for the bride to share a room with the groom on the night she first enters his house, would it be acceptable for you to stay in the Grand Duke’s chamber tonight?”
Yes, after all, this was a marital duty. Regardless of whether children were born or not, they could simply sleep together. Abelus had occasionally done so unexpectedly, even outside obligatory shared nights, claiming that men sometimes just felt like it.
Throughout her preparations to move to her husband’s room, Neris was as serious and intense as if she were preparing for war. Her heartbeat pounded so loudly in her ears that it reached her brain while she soaked in fragrant bathwater, received a massage, anointed her entire body with rose oil, and donned a freshly tailored nightgown.
And finally, full night fell.
Dora escorted Neris to the Grand Duke’s bedroom, right next to the Grand Duchess’s chamber. Over her thin silk nightdress, she wore a cloak lined with black marten fur.
Knock, knock. Footsteps approached from inside after she rapped on the door.
“I shall take my leave.”
Dora swiftly turned and hurried away.
The moment had come. Neris watched tensely as the door opened.
It was Cledwin who opened the door. There was no one else in the room. Seeing his unexpectedly unfamiliar face, Neris’s fingertips grew cold.
Why was she so nervous? It wasn’t their first time, after all. Though she scoffed at herself, Neris knew the answer.
She was afraid—afraid he might be disappointed by her insignificance.
Reflecting on it, Abelus had grumbled at her throughout their marriage: about her plain face, her thin frame, her stiff demeanor utterly devoid of any charm…
While Neris was praised as surpassing even seasoned diplomats in matters of statecraft, her understanding of romance before marriage had been limited to anatomical knowledge and hearsay. Only after marrying did she realize just how “lacking” she truly was.
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…?
