From the moment our lips touched, it was as if some pathway had connected his mana to my heart.
I should pull my lips away, but I was stuck like a drunk person, continuing to cling to his lips. How much time had passed?
“Huh?”
My forearms, which were by his side, stretched out, and the short, stiff fur that used to be there became long and fluffy. After a while, I came to my senses and looked down at my hands with widened eyes.
“I, I’m… human… Huh?”
However, without a chance to be surprised, my lips were back on Hadel’s. Unlike earlier, it was a real ‘kiss,’ where our breaths intertwined.
“H-Hadel, wait a moment… Ugh!”
I couldn’t budge his arms that were firmly gripping my head and waist. Our lips were so tightly pressed together that there was no room for air to pass.
‘What is this?’
Hot mana rushed into my veins all over my body. Although it felt like a long time since I had been surrounded by flames, my entire body shivered with the sensation.
‘I can’t break free.’
Now that I think about it, wasn’t I just as malleable as cheese, which stretched out with just a palm press from Hadel? But I couldn’t resist such an intense contact.
After greedily consuming mana from me, Hadel finally relaxed and released the arms that had been holding me.
“…Refreshing.”
He left this word behind.
“…?!”
I was momentarily bewildered, blinking my eyes with a surprised expression. Then, I quickly blushed and covered my lips with my palms.
‘This brat! It was my first kiss!’
I should ask him to clarify that it was CPR, not a kiss!
I wanted to grab him by the scruff and shake him vigorously, but Hadel had already fallen into a deep sleep. In the end, with my clear consciousness, I bit my nails and shed tears.
‘You make me all flustered like this, and now you fall asleep!’
The timid me silently vented my frustration, fearing that Hadel might wake up soon. That’s when it happened.
“Your Highness?”
‘Oh no!’
The servant I disliked called Hadel from outside the door.
‘Right! The servant was supposed to stay in the castle!’
Right now, I wasn’t the usual bird, but a human. Suddenly becoming a human, I could see that the servant couldn’t help but laugh.
‘I need to hide somewhere quickly!’
The sound of footsteps approached. I quickly got down on the floor and clung to the shirt Hadel had walked in. I unbuttoned it almost simultaneously with the lock of the door.
The door opened as I finished unbuttoning.
“No, the window was open?”
Entering through the door, the servant immediately closed the open window. After calling me several times and grumbling with her tongue, she said, “This bird! His Highness isn’t feeling well, and where did he go?”
‘Why is she looking for me again?’
She insulted me when we met, so why is she looking for me now?
I had fled through the open window and was pressing down my pounding heart.
‘Hurry, go away.’
No matter how closely I clung to the wall, there was a high chance of being discovered if the servant kept coming and going nearby.
I was biting my lips, and it was when the servant looked back at the window again.
“…Servant?”
A weak voice called the servant. It was Hadel. The servant approached Hadel with a bright smile.
“Your Highness? Have you regained consciousness?”
“I think I’m fine now…”
“What? That’s such a relief!”
I heaved a sigh of relief as well. He’s fine now. It was worth the trouble of pressing my lips against his.
‘Indeed. I’m really relieved. But it’s not me who should be relieved.’
I was hanging on the window frame with only one shirt on and no underwear.
‘If someone sees this, it’ll be a major incident.’
I gradually shifted my feet. It was fortunate that people were causing a commotion by leaving the castle. No one would witness me at Hadel’s room window from the inside.
Carefully stepping on the window frame, I could finally re-enter the room through the adjacent window. However, I couldn’t relax.
‘But when will I return to my bird form?’
News of Hadel regaining consciousness would soon spread throughout the castle, so I needed to hide in a place where no one would approach.
‘For now, I should hide in Hadel’s study.’
With my destination decided, I quickly moved my steps.
And about three hours later, I was able to return as a sparrow once again.
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…?
