To You, So Noble and Vulgar (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 185
The Emperor could not believe the scene unfolding before his eyes.
“Cyrus, what in the world are you doing!”
The knights guarding behind the Emperor drew their swords, but Cyrus held up the severed head and stared only at the Emperor.
“Your Majesty. Count Jeo committed the sin of failing to properly discipline his son, and not only did he show no remorse for it, he used his vulgar tongue to deceive Empress Aeylla and convey treacherous schemes to Your Majesty. I considered cutting out that tongue, but then I realized—the head itself was the answer. Thus, I have brought this severed head. Are you truly going to reprimand me?”
“What on earth… Cyrus, why are you doing this? Are you attempting treason right now?”
“You call one who offers loyalty to Your Majesty a traitor, yet you embrace those who harbor ill intentions toward you. This is truly bewildering and lamentable.”
The Emperor tightly shut his eyes.
He had noticed that Cyrus held affection for Ariana, but never imagined he was this obsessed. He had assumed Cyrus, being clever, would never lose his reason over a woman.
He wanted nothing more than to order Cyrus’s immediate arrest, but he could not afford to lose Cyrus at a time when he needed to confront the Lord of Dongryeong.
Raising his hand, the Emperor commanded his knights to lower their swords, then spoke calmly to Cyrus.
“Empress Aeylla shared a deep bond with Count Jeo. She cherished his son as if he were her own. The Empress merely aided Count Jeo’s revenge out of weakness of heart—surely that is no reason for you to be so angry. She has done you no real harm, after all.”
“So even knowing it was revenge, you issued an imperial decree ordering the Princess to marry the Fifth Prince?”
“What’s wrong with that? It’s actually good for the Princess. She’ll become part of the imperial family, my own person, and enjoy glory for the rest of her life.”
“Ha!”
Cyrus let out a hollow laugh.
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…?
