“Renisha, you…!”
“Goodness. Is she really coming back?”
“She might as well. Just look at what that foolish woman is doing!”
People held their breath and murmured.
Their gaze was fixed on Renisha, who had appeared in the palace after a long time.
Renisha Rothera.
A person who made people excited just by existing.
Hair woven like golden threads and eyes like shining spring.
Languid gaze, standing tall with a straight posture.
She exuded elegance and grace throughout her body.
It made no sense for Renisha Rothera not to be in the palace.
Renisha was a person who perfectly suited the palace and the position of a ruler.
“Since Her Majesty the Empress built a residence for you, it’s only fitting.”
Renisha smiled ironically.
They still thought that the position Renisha dreamed of was that of the Empress.
They were confining the world within a narrow frame.
It was still absurd to believe in a future in the empire ruled by Lexus.
“If Lady Renisha returns, everything will be back to normal.”
It was unbearable.
They couldn’t let go of Lexus while still relying on Renisha.
That’s why people are content with what they have.
Renisha slowly looked around the palace.
It remained unchanged. As if engraved.
So, people might not change either.
The sunlight filtering through the leaves of the garden tickled Renisha’s eyes.
In a world where nothing had changed, it seemed like only Renisha had changed.
Renisha smiled gently.
“Lexus.”
Lexus, who ran towards Renisha, breathed heavily with a boyish face.
He looked thinner and more worn out than before.
It was obvious at a glance.
It was a natural result since he spared no expense on medicine and alcohol.
Renisha knew everything about what Lexus ate and how he lived.
She had been watching the palace from afar.
People voluntarily became Renisha’s eyes and ears.
Even if Renisha didn’t ask.
“Renisha…”
Lexus let out a sigh.
“Ah.”
Renisha shrugged her shoulders.
“I have committed a rudeness, Your Imperial Majesty. It’s been a long time. Renisha Rothera greets you.”
Renisha greeted with composure.
Renisha was no longer the Empress.
She should not call Lexus by his name, and there was nothing left between them.
Lexus had branded Renisha with a mark of negativity and expelled her.
Renisha stepped back.
“Thanks to the grace of Your Imperial Majesty, I can greet you in good health like this. Have you been well?”
Renisha no longer looked at the emperor.
She stared at the ground and gazed at Lexus’s feet.
It wasn’t at all humiliating. Rather, it was the opposite.
“Raise your head, Renisha.”
A boiling voice echoed.
Suppressed emotions were felt.
Renisha smirked.
Capturing her expression and lifting her head, Renisha’s face was indifferent.
Lexus took one step closer to Renisha.
Renisha, with a surprised expression, stepped back again.
There was no comedy here.
“Renisha! How dare you avoid me?”
Lexus’s violet eyes flashed as if he would pierce Renisha.
“You are mine! Whenever I want, you should come into the palace and show yourself. I am the emperor of this empire, and you are nothing more than a woman belonging to me. But how dare…”
Renisha smirked again.
She couldn’t hold back her laughter.
With a small laugh, Renisha tilted her head.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. The fact that you rejected me was Her Majesty the Empress’s choice. And the fact that you abandoned Rothera was also the choice of Her Imperial Majesty. I am now the Duchess living in Hiloshine. How am I the woman of Her Imperial Majesty?”
“Renisha. What’s that slave talking about… Can you be satisfied with that guy? A stupid guy with nothing. A slave! Getting carried away by being called a hero!”
It was not Cassius speaking; it was Lexus himself.
People are only seen when they are hailed as the emperor.
Renisha pursed her lips.
“Cassius is not that kind of person.”
“What do you know…!”
“As a couple. As a couple sharing the same bed, wouldn’t I naturally know better?”
Renisha continued her words provocatively.
She knew that the words she chose would irritate Lexus.
Lexus was obsessively acting towards Renisha in an unrealistic way.
She knew that fact even in the past.
Instead of letting Renisha go like trash, he hesitated and circled around her.
Instead of killing her, he held onto Renisha, trembling.
Even though she was an empress, he never sought her out…
Things that were not visible up close became visible from a distance.
Lexus.
“Honestly tell me.”
Renisha approached Lexus.
Lexus bit his lip.
His pale face, tinged with malice, was pitiful.
Even a child seemed smarter and more honest than Lexus.
“Do you love me?”
Disgustingly, he was in love with Renisha.
Renisha pursed her lips.
“Do you love me, Lexus?”
Once again, she drove the wedge in.
Larger than Renisha, Lexus staggered.
Renisha stared coldly at Lexus, who retreated with his head in his hands.
A fool who doesn’t even know his own emotions dares to insult Cassius.
In Renisha’s eyes, Cassius was much better than Lexus.
At least Cassius was honest.
“I, I…”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
