The Secretary's Power (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 85
Morning arrived in his bedroom, a place that seemed destined to hold light even through wind and rain.
Hye Won briefly stirred, then nestled deeper into his arms with a long sigh. Tae Beom, already awake, gently wrapped an arm around her shoulders and picked up his phone with the other hand.
It was approaching eight in the morning. After quickly checking his emails, Tae Beom set the phone down on the nightstand, moving as slowly as possible so as not to wake her.
Normally, he’d have already left for work by now, but he remained in bed—he didn’t want to disturb her peaceful sleep.
It had probably been a long time since she’d slept properly; her deep, steady breathing beside him sounded both lovely and deeply touching.
Instinctively seeking comfort, she burrowed even closer, wrapping herself around him as if he were a long pillow. Now completely immobilized, Tae Beom glanced down at Hye Won clinging tightly to him and let out a quiet chuckle.
Why did this morning feel so different? Why did the simple warmth of her skin against his fill him with a sense of fulfillment unlike anything he’d felt yesterday?
Amidst the deep stillness and repose, emotions that had wavered unsteadily now finally seemed to settle into place.
It felt as though they were daring to reach for happiness. Given how hard both their lives had been, perhaps it was finally time to find peace beside each other.
“Why are you awake? Go back to sleep.”
After shifting a few times on her own, Hye Won finally opened her eyes. When their gazes met, Tae Beom greeted her by telling her to sleep more, prompting her to close her eyes again and smile faintly.
“I feel like I’ve slept for ages. What time is it?”
“It’s still too early to get up. You can sleep longer.”
“The sunlight streaming in doesn’t look ordinary at all. It must be well past seven, right?”
Realizing from the bright sunlight that it couldn’t possibly still be dawn, Hye Won reached around for her phone—but Tae Beom pulled her close from behind.
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…?
