Someone called out my name desperately. Just hearing it made me feel sad too, such was the tone of the voice.
But I couldn’t respond, even if I wanted to. My lips wouldn’t move, and I couldn’t open my eyes. My whole body felt like it was submerged in deep mire.
[This isn’t it! I wasn’t trying to kill you!]As he held me, he kept letting out a tormented voice as if spitting blood.
[What’s the point of living in a world where you’re dead and I’m the only one left…]His wavering voice seemed to wring my heart too. As I was swept away by his emotions, feeling the agony myself, his voice suddenly changed its tone.
[No. The heart is still beating.]Cold, sharp, a voice that could wound someone.
While holding my body tightly, he commanded in a chilly voice.
[Bring her back to life, Yulnysia.]“Vwiio!”
I woke up screaming, and it was a dark night. The darkness in the dream persisted even after waking up; surrounded by deep, inky blackness, I thrashed about as if submerged in water.
‘Ugh, it’s cold. It feels like my heart is freezing over.’
I closed my eyes and knocked on the door of my heart, trying to ignite the flame of mana I had always possessed since birth.
But no matter how much I focused, no flame arose from my heart. That’s when I finally realized that I had become a stoat.
‘Ah, right. My heart, it’s broken. I went into overdrive trying to calm down Espen…’
My heart could no longer emit flames.
‘No matter how cold, I just have to endure it…’
As I came to terms with reality and tried to curl up and endure, tears came.
“Vwiioo vwiioo.”
It wasn’t just about being cold and miserable; it felt like a gaping hole had been punched right through the center of my heart.
It was the emptiness from losing the flames that had always naturally burst forth since I was born.
‘What do I do now? Do I have to live with this emptiness for the rest of my life?’
I felt utterly useless and inept.
Everything felt overwhelming, so I cried. Excluding my infancy, this was probably the first time I had cried so loudly.
“Vwiioo vwiioo!”
The more I cried, the colder my body got. That’s when I angrily twisted my body.
“Are you crying?”
A soft, low voice accompanied a large palm that suddenly covered my head and back.
In that instant, a scorching heat seeped into my dying body, as if reviving it.
“Vwiioo…….”
Gently and warmly, like applying ointment to a sore wound, the warmth comforted me. I slowly exhaled and closed my eyes, tears rolling down from my damp eyes.
“…….”
As I continued to cry, Hadal quietly moved his hand covering me, stroking me gently. There were no kind words, but it was a comforting gesture that touched my heart.
‘It’s warm.’
Rubbing my face against Hadal’s palm, I suddenly felt a surge of anger.
‘I used to be able to create as much fire as I wanted!’
It was an instinctive resistance to the being possessing the power I had lost.
“Vwiioo!”
“Ah!”
The sharp teeth of the stoat cut through the soft flesh in an instant, and blood splattered.
Hadal, who had been lying down, got up. His face shone pale in the moonlight from outside the window. He looked down at his bleeding finger and asked, incredulously.
“……Did you bite?”
“Vwiio!”
Yeah! What are you going to do about it!
Far from backing down, I growled fiercely at him, and Hadal’s face hardened. He pressed his index finger down on my head.
“You.”
“Vwiio!”
“……Ferocious.”
“Vwiioo vwiioo!”
As I continued to growl fiercely, Hadal sighed as if giving up on communicating and stood up.
‘What? Why? What now?’
I placed my hands on my waist and glared at him with narrowed eyes.
He got out of bed and turned on the small reading lamp beside it. Then he picked up a small package that was on the nightstand where the lamp was.
He swayed it gently like a bell and said,
“This is your snack, but I guess I should just throw it away.”
Snack?
Snack?!
“Vwiioo!”
I was extremely excited. The gloom that had been troubling me vanished without a trace, and all I could see was that package.
‘Throwing away food? That’s blasphemous! You’ll be punished for such carelessness!’
I flapped my little front paws and cried out.
“Vwiioo! Vwiioo!”
Hurry up and give it to me. If you’re going to throw it away, throw it into my mouth.
As I vigorously flapped my front paws to convey this meaning, Hadal nodded his head and responded in a blunt voice.
“Alright, Vwiioo is your name then.”
“Vwiio!”
Do you think I’m calling my name!?
‘Sigh, my name is Marian. Ah, I feel my energy dropping from moving so vigorously.’
Feeling suddenly depressed, I curled up and sat down. Then I cried in a mournful voice.
“Vwiioo….”
“Crying?”
As I cried weakly, Hadal’s brows furrowed. He approached me and sat down, pressing his palm on my head again and murmuring,
“Do stoats usually cry this much?”
Not stroking, but why does he always press down with his palm?
‘But somehow, it’s reassuring.’
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…?
