The Terminally-Ill Rejects the Approach (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 10
“Ah, agh……!”
Hezen, sprawled on the floor, covered his precious parts with both hands and let out a pained groan.
“Ugh…… Keugh…….”
[SYSTEM] The attribute [Eunuch] is added to the player’s attributes. [SYSTEM] Congratulations! You have gained 1200 experience points from the new attribute effect. [SYSTEM] Experience points have exceeded the maximum. In the tutorial stage, the level is restricted to 10 or below.Unable to gather his senses from the pain, he belatedly noticed the system window floating before his eyes and widened them in shock.
【Seedless Watermelon】 Lv.10 Hezen Einshan
Attribute: Eunuch
Then, with a despairing voice, he cried out.
“Ah, no! To think I’m a eunuch! To think I’m a eunuch!”
I looked down at Hezen, writhing on the floor in agony, with an indifferent expression.
Since this happened within the game, it wouldn’t affect the real-world player controlling Hezen. That’s probably why I didn’t feel much guilt.
‘Besides, if I don’t break off the engagement this way, I’ll end up dying for that damn bastard’s awakening.’
My death was just one of the game’s events for him.
But for me, it was reality.
If he insisted on maintaining our lover status, I had no choice but to push him away like this.
‘It’d be even better if he failed to awaken, gave up on the scenario, or logged out and disappeared from my sight forever.’
[Poor player! You’ve lost your reproductive ability ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥‧º·˚)]With a cheerful *pyororong* sound effect, a notification window popped up to console Hezen.
[Looks like awakening will fail too. Your eunuch route is just around the corner!!!! (＾0＾)っ✂✂✂]‘Wait, is this supposed to be consolation or mockery……?’
[But even if the sky falls, there’s always a way to survive!You haven’t maintained a 30-day lover relationship with yet…… but as a beginner’s benefit, we’ll specially unlock the awakening scenario for you in advance!
If you succeed in awakening, you can recover your lost reproductive ability with the perk♡⁺◟●˙▾˙●)◞⁺♡]
‘Hold on, what……?’
My expression stiffened at the follow-up notification.
‘Succeed in awakening, and then what?’
[This is a special opportunity just for you, player! We’ll send you the awakening scenario and additional quests, so make sure to succeed!!! ☆(･ω･*)ゞ]I wasn’t the only one reacting to the notification’s text.
“Awakening……!”
Hezen, who had been wallowing in despair until then, suddenly lifted his head, his eyes gleaming with fervor.
A murderous glare turned toward me.
‘W-What’s that?’
His demeanor, slightly unhinged compared to before, made me instinctively step back, and at that moment—
[SYSTEM] Lover status maintenance completed, fulfilling the conditions for ! [SYSTEM] Tutorial scenario is activated! (▶Scenario Preview)With intense text, a dazzling video unfolded before my eyes. And the content of that video was, damn it……
[Mysterious enemies target you and your lover. You barely escape from the mysterious enemies, but in the process, your lover loses her life.As you grieve over your lover’s death, a brilliant light unfolds before you, awakening your sealed power and restoring your lost reproductive ability……!]
……It was me, coughing up blood and dying in Hezen’s arms.
‘W-What is that?’
[SYSTEM] The remaining lifespan of is being adjusted.*Shaaak.*
A deep dread enveloped my body.
The remaining lifespan above my head seemed to blur, and soon new text appeared. And the content of that text was—
Third Princess of the Azester Empire
Attributes: Lover, Terminally Ill (Remaining Lifespan: Unknown)
‘Unknown.’
Though my fate of dying in six days had changed, it also meant I could die at any moment. The terminally ill attribute remained.
‘Why……?’
I couldn’t understand.
I had clearly sabotaged his play to interfere, and the engagement break was within reach.
Yet, as if someone were manipulating my life, things were unfolding against my will.
Who decided to give that bastard a beginner’s benefit?
Who decided to give him another special chance?
[SYSTEM] Quest arrived!*Pyororong!*
With a notification sound, a system window announced the arrival of a new quest.
[Main Quest: Death of the Lover]Achieve awakening through the death of your beloved lover ! However, the lover’s death must occur in a place with many people. So that everyone can witness the birth of a new hero!
▷Clear Condition: Death of the lover, 100 or more spectators
▶Reward for Success: Awakening

▶Reward for Success: ’s defense, Honor +500
▶Penalty for Failure: Emperor’s wrath, Engagement break
“Lulu…….”
A moist, tender voice called out to me.
Hezen blinked his pure, delicate eyelashes.
“Do you smell something burning?”
“?”
Wondering what nonsense that was, I looked at him, and suddenly he grabbed my hand and pressed it to his chest.
“My heart is on fire. Ever since I saw you.”
“Son of a…….”
With a chilling shiver, I hurriedly shook off his hand.
What the hell is this bastard doing?
I glared at him with horrified eyes.
“Oh, this won’t do! I’m reporting you to the imperial knights right now! For the crime of setting fire to my heart……!”
But Hezen, unfazed by my reaction, kept spewing sleazy lines with that gaping mouth of his.
My expression soured by the second.
Is he trying to seduce me now to raise favorability?
Even with his charm stat drastically lowered, those trashy lines wouldn’t work at all……
[SYSTEM] Using item . [SYSTEM] Charm increases by +500. (Charm: 499) [SYSTEM] Using item . [SYSTEM] Charm increases by +500. (Charm: 999)In an instant, his charm stat shot back to its maximum.
‘Those damn cash shop items!’
[SYSTEM] Activating special skill . Please specify the target.“Louise Belle Azester.”
He stared straight at the system window and spoke my name.
[SYSTEM] enters the charmed state. [SYSTEM] ’s favorability increases more easily.*Thump!*
At that moment, my heart made a ‘thump’ sound against my will, and heat rushed to my face.
‘Ha……?’
I was dumbfounded and stunned.
I immediately realized my condition.
The relentless notification sounds and Hezen’s smug grin.
Rage surged within me.
“You, what are you……!”
I grabbed Hezen by the collar.
My anger was still at its peak, and naturally, my strength was exponentially high.
Yet, strangely, I couldn’t hit him.
Far from hitting him, my heart pounded every time our hands brushed.
‘Damn it! This shitty favorability system!’
I quickly realized.
That damn skill that put me in a charmed state or whatever, along with the favorability system, was holding me back.
It was horrifying.
The sensation of my body moving against my will sent chills down my spine.
“But, my adorable arsonist Lulu. If you become my partner at His Majesty’s birthday banquet, I’ll overlook the crime of setting my heart ablaze. How about it?”
No! Absolutely not!
The emperor’s birthday banquet was where the most eyes would be watching. Hezen was determined to awaken through my death.
Moreover, becoming his partner would give him an excuse to raise favorability.
I had to reject that damn proposal immediately.
But just as my body, against my will, was about to nod to his offer—
*Whoosh!*
With a strong force, I felt my body being pulled away from Hezen.
The favorability increase notifications that had been ringing in my head stopped abruptly, and a pure white cloak fluttered before my eyes.
“Who the hell are you again!”
Hezen’s angry shout rang out.
Tilting my head back, I saw silver-white hair gleaming like fresh snow under the faint moonlight.
Even from the back, I knew who it was.
‘I am Anselot, Your Highness.’
‘You said you’d let me stay by your side, so why do you keep avoiding me? Like a little rat.’
It was that crazy prince Anselot, the one who had threatened me so menacingly!
“Tch. Some filthy vermin trying to steal someone else’s cute little rat.”
Anselot clicked his tongue in annoyance at Hezen.
“What did you just mumble?”
Facing the fuming Hezen, Anselot said with a crooked smirk.
“Princess Louise Belle has promised to be my partner for the entire duration of this ball.”
Huh? Me? When……?
Blinking in confusion, I stared at him as he boasted about a promise I didn’t recall, and he turned to me with a bright smile.
“You promised, Your Highness. You said you’d allow me to serve you from the closest possible place while I’m in the empire.”
“Ah……? Ah……!”
I let out a dumbstruck exclamation.
‘That could be interpreted…… that way?’
Thinking back, it made sense.
To serve from the ‘closest’ place, naturally, my partner at the ball would have to be him.
“Is that true, Lulu?”
Hezen’s wavering eyes shook. He seemed a bit flustered.
“Yes.”
A clearer voice slipped from my lips.
‘The system’s coercion has been lifted.’
Since my promise with Anselot came first, Hezen’s partner request was naturally rejected.
Realizing this, a wave of relief—or something like it—washed over me.
“I’m sorry, Hezen. I can’t accept your partner request.”
“That can’t be……!”
Hezen shouted in disbelief.
“When on earth……! So the favorability going negative was because of that guy……! You cheated on me with him?”
“What nonsense? You’re the one who cheated!”
I was about to snap back at his shameless accusation when—
[SYSTEM] Bug detected! [SYSTEM] Bug detected!With a noisy warning sound, a system notification window appeared.
‘A bug……?’
At the unfamiliar yet familiar word, I stopped arguing with Hezen and looked at the system window.
[SYSTEM] System adjustment in progress due to sudden bug! [SYSTEM] System adjustment in progress due to sudden bug! [SYSTEM] Removing the……! [SYSTEM] Removing the bug……!But the system window’s noisy notifications didn’t last long.
“Tch.”
With a cold click of the tongue.
“Got caught again.”
Anselot had shattered the system window.
“Annoying.”
He curled his lips crookedly and looked at me and Hezen.
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…?
