Eight. I don’t know. Just don’t go down.
It’s not like she enjoyed outdoor activities anyway. She could just ask her attendant to get what she needed.
Above all, she must not be involved any longer with the crown prince, who was destined to kill her.
“I will live uncomfortably if it is uncomfortable. So……”
“……”
“Go see Lilia now. I’ve told her you’ll be her attendant.”
It was a momentary flash.
The smile that always hung on Kain’s face faded.
In that fleeting gap, Liz saw it. Cold, hard, even ruthless at times, the look of the original male lead.
‘I thought it might be, but it really was.’
She had only vaguely thought about it until now, but at this moment, she suddenly realized.
Kain was the male lead, and she was Liz Berium, a supporting villain who tried to harm the female lead and was killed by his hand. The relationship between the two was just right. If she did not remove this man from her sight, fate would surely follow the original work.
“Why all of a sudden…”
Kain was about to say something when the door burst open.
“Miss, take your medicine.”
It was Mirabel.
Liz sighed in relief.
Mirabel came in holding a small tray with medicine and candy. As she handed Liz the bitter turquoise liquid, Kain got up from his seat.
“I will visit you again later.”
He turned away lightly, but Liz was too occupied with gulping down the turquoise liquid to notice.
Liz grimaced at the bitter and sour taste as the medicine touched her tongue. Mirabel quickly put a candy in her mouth so her face wouldn’t contort further.
Once her tongue was soothed by the candy, Liz spoke.
“Call Mother.”
“The madam? The madam said not to disturb her while she’s having a massage unless it’s important.”
“Tell her it’s important.”
“……?”
“I’m going to have a suitor.”
Mirabel’s eyes widened.
And then.
That was when Kain’s hand, reaching out for the doorknob, froze in midair.
(This is a time delimiter.)
“Did… did you say suitor?”
“Yes.”
Mother was at a loss for words for a while.
And that was understandable, considering she had rejected every proposal since falling for Kain.
And that was partly because she liked Kain, but also because Kain had set her standards too high. When a warm and handsome man was fluttering in front of her eyes, no one else could catch her eye.
“Why all of a sudden?”
Mother asked again, and Liz answered without hesitation.
“I suddenly wanted to do it.”
“Then you should.”
Without asking any further, fearing her daughter’s mind might change, Mother proceeded with the matter. After all, Liz was twenty years old, a little late in this world where most people marry in their late teens.
Having a marriageable daughter didn’t do much for her social standing. It was evidence of her incompetence.
Mother immediately sorted through the stored proposal letters and had the butler contact them.
Listening to the whole process through Mirabel’s mouth, Liz wore a satisfied smile.
“It’s going well.”
“Madam asked if you have any conditions you want?”
“Tell her I don’t.”
“Still, you shouldn’t appear too cheap. It might make you look frivolous.”
Mirabel advised.
Perhaps it was from the worry that Liz might sell herself so short because of the scar prominently located on her forehead.
But Liz, who could not know the underlying concern, calmly said,
“So what if I look a little frivolous? It’s not attractive to be too unapproachable.”
Since she had been very unapproachable before, it would be fine to look a little frivolous. Besides, now was not the time to be choosy.
Living in the same house as the Grim Reaper, Liz felt suffocated. She wanted to get out as soon as possible.
The next day, her mother came personally and told her the first schedule.
“Contact has been made with Count Lubent’s eldest son, Fabrice. We will meet him in the reception room here at noon tomorrow.”
“Fabrice Lubent….”
Liz quietly repeated the name.
It seemed familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
Then, suddenly, a memory flashed.
‘Ah, that awkward and inarticulate man.’
Brown hair with black eyes, of average height, with a slender body and a kindlooking impression, and another kindlooking impression… simply a kindlooking impression.
In a word, he was utterly ordinary.
“It’s not bad.”
Not good either.
“Count Lubent’s house is a rising power lately, isn’t it? Welloff in terms of wealth. Most of all, the ancestral mistress is a person of good character and high reputation. Given that he’s her son, he’ll likely have a good personality.”
‘Children inherit their parents’ personality… That means I take after my mother, which doesn’t feel particularly good.’
Liz chuckled to herself, thinking.
In the meantime, her mother informed her of the matters she needed to know in advance.
“Practice your greetings and manners beforehand. Practice walking as well. You can’t go in a wheelchair, can you?”
“Yes.”
Liz answered without hesitation. That was her plan all along, anyway.
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.]
