He pulled the blanket off of Rosette, who was curled up inside, and woke her up.
“Wake up, wake up!”
“Hmm…”
Barely opening her eyes, Rosette suddenly opened them wide upon hearing his next words.
“Are you going to sleep in on your birthday?”
Oh, right. It’s my birthday!
Initially, when the people of Adrian’s house started preparing for the birthday party, Rosette felt nothing special. Even though everyone said a birthday was a special day, it didn’t really resonate with her.
She was just happy because everyone else was happy preparing for her birthday.
But over the past week, perhaps due to their non-brainwashing brainwashing, Rosette began to look forward to her birthday. In fact, she was so excited last night that she barely slept.
“I’m not sleeping in.”
Struggling to keep her eyes open, Rosette was pulled up by Lucas.
“Come on, get up. We have somewhere to go.”
Rubbing her eyes with one hand, Rosette followed him in her pajamas. Lucas led her to the dining room.
“Don’t cry because it’s too good.”
Lucas warned, half-jokingly, as he opened the dining room door. Simultaneously, various voices inside shouted in unison.
“Happy Birthday!”
“Happy Birthday to you!”
A servant waiting at the door sprinkled flower petals over Rosette. Lucas also scooped a handful of petals from a basket and sprinkled them over her head.
Rosette, her hair full of petals, looked around the dining room.
It was decorated extravagantly, unlike usual. The table was filled with her favorite dishes and desserts.
In front of her, not only her family but also the servants were smiling brightly at her.
“Ah…”
A warm sensation swelled in her chest. It was a feeling she had never experienced before, yet it wasn’t unpleasant. In fact, it felt good.
Then, Daniel and Isabelle approached her.
“Happy birthday, Rose.”
“Congratulations.”
Then Adrian walked over and stroked her head.
“Happy birthday. I hope today is filled with only happy moments, Rose.”
Kind people and warm words. Today, Rosette fully realized.
‘I’m really glad I was born.’
At the same time, tears of happiness started to fall from her eyes.
“Crybaby, crybaby!”
Lucas began to tease Rosette, who had cried so much her eyes were red like a rabbit’s. Normally, Daniel or Adrian would have scolded him, but this time they just laughed and didn’t stop him.
Rosette, still with moist eyes, took a big bite of the cake a maid had cut for her. The chocolate cake, filled with fresh strawberries, was both tart and sweet.
Lucas, giggling at her, handed her something he had hidden under the table. It was as long as Rosette’s arm and wrapped clumsily in red paper.
“What’s this?”
“Your birthday present!”
“Can I really have it?”
“Of course!”
“Here, take mine too.”
This time, Isabelle handed her a box the size of Rosette’s palm. Daniel also gave her a heavy gift.
Rosette, holding a bunch of presents, asked,
“Can I open these?”
“Of course. They are your gifts.”
She carefully began unwrapping each beautifully wrapped present.
Daniel had given her a coloring book with pictures, Isabelle a cherished hair accessory, and Lucas a wooden sword he played with as a child.
Isabelle teased him,
“A wooden sword for a child learning magic?”
Lucas snorted,
“Sister, remember our family lineage? We’re from the noble Adrian house, known for producing skilled knights. Father is the greatest sword master.”
“So?”
“Magic is fine, but shouldn’t our little one also learn basic swordsmanship?”
“Look at her arms. How can she learn swordsmanship with those?”
“It’s not impossible!”
Rosette interjected,
“I want to learn!”
Both turned their attention to her. Slightly intimidated, Rosette added in a quieter voice,
“I want to learn swordsmanship, too.”
While learning magic was great, she thought it would be good to learn some basic self-defense, being adopted into the Adrian family.
“Is that not okay?”
“Of course, it is.”
Adrian answered,
“But let’s wait until you grow a bit taller and put on some more weight.”
“Okay.”
“Now that you’ve received your gifts, it’s my turn.”
Adrian gestured, and Sebastian brought in a large box.
Adrian opened it for Rosette. Inside were a glamorous party dress, shoes, and accessories to match.
“Let’s wear these for the party at lunch. That’s my gift.”
“A party?”
Rosette blinked in confusion.
“Aren’t we having a party now?”
Lucas chuckled,
“This? This is just breakfast.”
If this was merely breakfast, what would the actual party be like?
An astonished Rosette saw Daniel wink at her,
“Look forward to it, Rose. Father has prepared a really special gift.”
The meaningful words added to her anticipation.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
