Only after chewing medicine could he barely fall asleep, and even that sleep was short.
When he opened his eyes, the cold morning air had settled everywhere.
That’s why, no matter how much he bundled up under the blanket, it was cold.
“Damn it.”
Lexsus cursed repeatedly.
Nowhere was comfortable.
Even those who were serving him were all the same, so why did it feel so strange?
Only one thing had changed.
Lenisha was not on the domain.
Lenisha had finally left on that long journey.
If Lenisha had come to Lexsus and begged not to drive her away, he would have pretended to give in.
Where was that woman, who always lived without hardship on the domain, going?
Lexsus covered his eyes with trembling hands.
He kept imagining Lenisha entwining with that brat.
That impudent slave knight.
He couldn’t forget them kissing shamelessly in the rain.
“Lenisha, how can you do this to me…….”
Lexsus wiped his face.
Since that day, he had repeated the same fantasy.
In Lexsus’s imagination, Casius and Lenisha kissed and hugged each other.
Then they looked at Lexsus and smiled slyly.
He felt as if all the blood had been drained from his body. Jealousy boiled.
“Casius, Casius.”
Lexsus opened his mouth and muttered.
His words were full of malice.
Lenisha had chosen the dirty slave knight, and by now, she must have reached Hiloshain.
“Just wait and see how long you’ll last.”
Lexsus knew the barrenness of Hiloshain well.
“You’ll be begging to come back soon, Lenisha.”
Lexsus was certain.
The attendants were too afraid to move, fearing what Lexsus might do.
The emperor seemed even crazier today.
“We’re going back now.”
Lexsus, coming to his senses, yelled.
(This is a time separator.)
The first night in Hiloshain had passed.
It was clearly not a proper castle.
The place was crumbling, so it was a situation where they should be thankful just to avoid the rain and wind.
But Lenisha thought there was no place as comfortable as this.
She had slept soundly all night without waking once.
“Did you sleep well, Casius?”
She greeted the first face she saw as she opened her eyes.
Casius seemed tired yesterday, and he fell asleep quickly.
Casius blinked his eyes and then suddenly sat up.
“You woke up early.”
Casius quickly cleared his throat.
“There’s a lot to be done. And Casius has things to do as well.”
Casius looked at Lenisha with puzzled eyes.
“We have to gather the surviving demihumans. Wasn’t that Casius’s wish?”
“……Is it okay to do so?”
“What do you mean?”
“The people of Hiloshain looked overwhelmed just by accepting us. If the demihumans are added to the situation…….”
“It’s something we must accept, so it’s better to accept it quickly.”
Lenisha spoke a bit coldly.
It was an expression that did not suit the warm morning sunlight.
“We have a long way to go. We don’t even have time to wait for anyone falling behind. Casius, I didn’t come here to stay in Hiloshain. I came here to overthrow Lexsus using Hiloshain as a stepping stone.”
“Is that so.”
Casius asked in a calm voice.
“Casius. Everything will go as it should. Hiloshain and the demihumans will never conflict.”
“Why?”
“Because we have a common enemy. Just like you and I have joined hands, they will too.”
Lenisha smiled softly. Her earlier coldness had vanished.
“I will do as Lenisha wishes. However.”
Casius hesitated for a moment.
It should be fine, he thought.
Though he had avoided Casius for a few days, hadn’t she been by his side since she left?
Even when Casius had offered himself as a human shield to block the dawn wind, Lenisha had rested in his arms.
The breath of that day still seemed to linger on his chest.
Casius gently kissed Lenisha’s hand.
“Don’t overdo it, Lenisha.”
“……I promise.”
It had been a long time since she heard such words. Lenisha smiled faintly.
Casius was humane.
And he continually found Lenisha’s vulnerabilities.
Lenisha covered the hot brand on her hand with the other hand.
That way, she thought, she could conceal this intimacy and emotion without others noticing.
As always, Casius looked at Lenisha with upright and passionate eyes.
“I hope you don’t get hurt.”
Lenisha bit her lip at Casius’s added words.
Lenisha thought that only her family would say such things to her.
Casius had somehow become Lenisha’s family.
Lenisha nodded slowly.
Lenisha returned the same feelings to Casius.
“Casius, don’t get hurt either.”
In any situation.
You’ve become important to me without me realizing it.
She swallowed the words that she couldn’t dare to speak out loud.
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…?
