The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 52
It was well past midnight, yet Clayton’s study was brightly lit.
Jason placed a warm cup of tea before Clayton, who sat at his desk flipping through papers without pause.
“The word has come that Lady Rozé Herz has safely arrived at the Herz estate.”
“I see?”
He replied in a flat tone to Jason’s report.
Clayton showed no particular interest and didn’t even lift his eyes from the document before him.
Without even glancing at the teacup placed in front of him, he quietly murmured,
“Good work. You may retire for the night.”
But when Jason still made no move to leave despite the dismissal, Clayton finally raised his head.
“Do you have something to say to me?”
“I’m worried you’ve been overworking yourself these past few days.”
And indeed, since returning from the imperial palace, Clayton had thrown himself into his work like a man possessed.
Although the family’s business would soon become busiest as the weather warmed, he had insisted on planning a strenuous trip to the villa.

Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!

Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
