There Is No Paradise Where I Ran Away To (14 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 135
The Mayer soldiers mostly declared surrender. The noble commanders who had sided with Mayer had already fled and gone into hiding, and with neither Mayer nor Count Reed present, victory in the war had clearly shifted to Banister.
Yet because some soldiers still insisted on fighting to the end, and because Mayer himself had not yet been secured, the half-hearted battle continued.
Meanwhile, Theo managed to barely enter the palace in search of Edwin. The threat of danger kept resurfacing whenever a shell suddenly exploded, but each time he recalled Vivian’s face, that fear vanished and only resolve burned within him.
Unlike the battlefield outside, the palace interior was deserted—but it was occupied by Mayer’s soldiers who had fled inside. They fired shots out the windows to keep their enemies at bay.
Though he sometimes had to dodge their sight or raise his own gun, the brief skirmish he’d fought earlier to rescue Vivian from the dungeon proved greatly helpful to Theo now.
He had killed someone for the first time. Dazed and numb from the feeling of cutting into flesh, he’d nearly died from a guard’s blade. It was obvious that without Hyven, he would have died right there—and Vivian would have long since been executed.
If I don’t strike first, I’ll be the one who dies.
Advice that once seemed distant now pierced his skin with the truth: the boundary between life and death was no thicker than a sheet of paper.
Learning with survival in mind truly made a significant difference. This, too, was something he couldn’t have achieved without Hyven.
He resolved that if this war ended victoriously and both he and Vivian survived, he would surely thank Hyven in person.
Therefore, he had to survive. The Duke must not die, and he himself couldn’t afford to perish here either.
After steadying his breath, he crossed the corridor again. Having no idea where Edwin was, Theo headed first to the underground dungeon where Vivian had been held—because if Edwin had come looking for Vivian, he’d most likely be where she’d last stayed.
But the dungeon he reached was in ruins. Just like where a shell had landed, the entrance had vanished completely, buried under a mound of rubble.
If Vivian hadn’t been executed and had remained here, she might have died trapped under all this. Swallowing the chilling thought he didn’t want to imagine, he quickly turned around.
He ran westward past the dungeon, searching every nook and cranny, yet couldn’t find even a single strand of Edwin’s dark hair.
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…?
