The name Grace seemed to suit the arrogant man.
“Why not just let them breed?”
Mares can usually get pregnant between March and September. Now was the perfect time.
She remembered hearing odd sounds from the stable that reached her bedroom.
‘No wonder it sounded weird this morning.’
Apparently, the source was two horses in heat.
‘Until they find a mate and conceive.’
Lea shivered, recalling the earlier noise.
Akkia responded in a resolute voice.
“Out of the question. Grace shouldn’t mate with an inferior horse. Had I known, I would’ve brought a worthy companion for her.”
He sounded genuinely regretful.
“Shouldn’t we find a horse of good pedigree soon? Resolving her desires quickly is best. Horses get stressed too.”
“Yes, we should. Otherwise, they’d even haunt me in my dreams.”
“Right, that’s proba—”
Suddenly, Lea’s words stopped.
Desire and dreams. Those two words suddenly preoccupied her mind.
But suddenly, Lea’s words abruptly stopped.
Desire unfulfilled and dreams. These two words suddenly overtook her mind.
“Why is that? Have you thought of some other good solution?”
As Lea’s previously languid face hardened in an instant, Akkia also hardened his voice.
“Ah, no. Nothing…”
Lea awkwardly responded while covering her face with a book.
‘Why the hell am I thinking about that dream again!’
I thought I had forgotten all about it. Seems like I was mistaken. Just by these words, that dream resurfaced.
Lea slowly lowered the book and looked at Akkia.
Specifically, at the man’s lips.
‘Ah, this is insane.’
Overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of selfloathing, Lea abruptly stood up. Staying in the same space with Count Heidern like this would turn her face as red as a ripe tomato.
“Where are you going?”
“I, I just remembered something very important! I have to go!”
Lea hurriedly moved to place the book she had been reading back on the shelf.
However, because she moved too hastily, pushing the book forcefully into the shelf made the stacked books on top wobble dangerously.
And just as the thickest book was about to fall on Lea, Akkia, who had approached her side, caught the falling book.
“What’s going on?”
At the same time, a warm breath entered her ear.
“What’s the matter, why are you leaving so quickly?”
The warmth touching her back and the man’s arm against Lea’s waist. She didn’t need to look in the mirror to know.
That her face was definitely flushed as red as a radish. Akkia called out to Lea, who was merely bowing her head.
“Lea.”
Above his softly spoken voice, another voice was added.
[Lea.]‘What?’
Something was strange.
The sense of unease she felt from the voice calling her name. It felt eerily familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
‘What is it? What memory?’
Her pupils shook strongly left and right in response to the inexplicable situation.
“My body is hot. You.”
Placing the book he had been holding back on the shelf, Akkia put his hand to Lea’s forehead.
[Count… Ah, ah… I, my body is so hot…]Upon hearing Akkia’s words about feeling hot, another memory resurfaced in Lea’s mind. Memories she had thought were merely strange dreams.
“You seem to have a fever.”
[I can’t bear it…, ah… ah…]The moment the Lea from her memories whispered in a husky voice, memories surged like a tidal wave in her mind.
‘Could it be?’
The dream from that day, which she had dismissed as mere lustful frustration.
“Lea?”
The vivid sensations imprinted on her lips, the air, and the warm breath as well.
She realized. That it hadn’t been a dream.
The cold emanating from the man’s palm was woefully insufficient. It couldn’t cool down her body that was emanating heat.
‘Ah, I’m screwed.’
For the first time, she regretted taking that pill that day.
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…?
