She shouldn’t have given her heart to Khalid. She should have avoided loving him as she initially promised herself. But why is the heart so difficult?
Once emotions start moving, they can’t go back to how they were before.
“Please, don’t overdo it.”
Light emanated from him.
Chasing light in the darkness is natural. Even if you fall and get hurt, giving up the light that illuminates the path ahead is impossible.
In Valia’s world, Khalid was the light. He was the savior who pulled her out of hell.
“I won’t overdo it. And… it seems like everything will be okay now.”
Valia smiled with her eyes closed, feeling that she could finally sever ties with Erzhe without lingering attachments.
“Huangfei! You must not enter!”
“Let go! How dare you stop me! I’ve come to see my son! Get out of the way!”
The calm expression on Raoul’s face, disturbed by the noisy sounds outside, wrinkled.
Seeing the servant nervously glancing at him, he sighed and said, “It’s okay. Let her in.”
As soon as he gave permission, the door opened, and Huangfei entered Raoul’s office with a demeanor far from her usual elegance.
“What’s going on?”
“…I heard that you took out the tiara from Vigo.”
Without greetings, she shouted in an angry voice, but Raoul chuckled and replied in a jokingly casual tone.
“I took it out and put it back, you know.”
However, her anger only intensified, and she shouted, “Are you trying to give it to Princess Ronica? Are you out of your mind!”
“Of course, I am in my right mind.”
Raoul stood up from his work, walked to the sofa, and sat down comfortably. Then, he gestured to the servant.
“Since Her Majesty seems to be quite thirsty, bring water instead of tea.”
“Yes. Understood.”
Amused by his outrageous attitude, Huangfei burst into forced laughter.
“You seem really strange these days. You’re not thinking rationally at all.”
“I think I’m more rational than you, who came running all the way here just because of a tiara.”
Raoul found Huangfei, who was bothering him over a tiara, somewhat annoying.
Arrogantly crossing his legs and looking down at Hwangbi, Raoul opened his mouth.
“There’s a lot to do. Please tell me the reason for coming, Mother.”
“People in the entire palace know that you are still entangled with that princess. What are you trying to accomplish by constantly doing this, even though you are engaged to Lady Canterip?”
“I’ll handle it myself.”
“You didn’t seem to care before, but why are you lingering with regrets now? Did that woman Ronica play some trick on you?”
He didn’t want to hear more of Hwangbi’s words.
Raoul lifted the corner of his mouth, not hiding his laughter.
Did Valia play some trick on him?
If so, he wouldn’t be so indifferent about it.
“Do you know how impressive the list of things you took out is? I’ve never used even one of these…”
“Regardless of this and that, weren’t you upset in the end? Isn’t that right?”
As Hwangbi made a fuss, Valia might have been shaken a bit by the turmoil surrounding her gift. When would the cold gaze and the terrifying expression that looked at her so coldly change?
Even with his mother, Hwangbi, in front of him, Raoul constantly thought of Valia.
“Those tiaras for Mother might be excessive. But for Valia, they’re only natural.”
“What in the world…!”
Raoul uncrossed his legs and leaned forward, his warning mixed with a whisper.
“I intend to make Valia the empress. So, Mother, please be careful with your actions.”
Hwangbi looked perplexed.
“You, you! Do you even know what you’re talking about? You have Lady Canterip…”
But Raoul ignored Hwangbi’s words and stood up from his seat. He leaned against the window and stared fixedly at the Second Prince’s palace beyond the garden.
He couldn’t resist the impulse to bring Valia from there right now. But now was the time he had to endure.
“Even without saying so, until I become the emperor, I’ll treat Lady Canterip well. Don’t worry, Mother.”
Raoul’s voice became affectionate as before.
With that, Hwangbi also opened her mouth with a slightly softened expression.
“…You need the power of the Duke. Even if you have Her Majesty’s protection, it’s useless if you don’t have the power of the nobles. You understand, right?”
“Of course.”
So, having Ellyn Canterip by his side wasn’t just a temporary convenience.
‘Too bad. I really wanted to see Valia with the ‘Joy of the Sun’ on her head.’
Raoul let out a light, ironic laugh and coldly gazed at the Second Prince’s palace, which had turned red in the sunset.
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…?
