The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 102
Arthur was the first person Cain had ever met in his short life whom he truly wanted to follow.
Yet he was asking me to kill him with my own hands?
〈He probably told you to bring me back alive, right?〉
〈You can escape. I’ll buy you some time—go out the back door and run.〉
〈Do you think I’m immortal? If I get shot, I’ll die too. Or do you believe bullets magically avoid me? I may be lucky, but not that lucky.〉
Arthur remained cheerful throughout. Cain’s insides burned with anguish.
〈Arthur……〉
〈I don’t want to die after enduring cruel torture.〉
〈But the trial……〉
〈You know it’s impossible. So please grant me the right to die with dignity. It would be an honor to die by your hand. You’re…… a good person, after all.〉
It was far too heavy a burden—far too undeserved a praise—for Cain.
Cain’s pupils trembled. He couldn’t fulfill Arthur’s request. He didn’t want to.
“It’s just…… too cruel.”
Jane wrapped her arms tightly around herself as if she felt a chill.
“It is cruel. But I understand Arthur’s feelings too. He worried that if he died by suicide, I’d be interrogated. They’d surely demand to know what I was doing while he took his own life.”

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.]

Awwww, what a sweet chapter. I hope happier days are coming.
It seems like the peace for the Hastings is about to be disrupted.
Truly, I wish all three of them could continue to remain happy together.
