Liz felt relieved.
It had stopped now.
Of course, he would have to repeat this pain again in ten days. But for now, it had passed.
Liz turned, listening to Kain’s even breaths.
Her footsteps were unsteady.
(This is a time separator.)
Lilia was annoyed that the young duke, Berth, kept falling away from her will.
Shouldn’t he have understood by now?
Should she speak more strongly? Or should she talk to her mother?
“Young Duke has been coming often lately. It seems like he wants to proceed with the engagement soon, how do you feel about it?”
But at her mother’s words, Lilia couldn’t quite bring herself to say what she had been thinking directly.
“But won’t the Duke and Duchess object? I’m just a bastard, they won’t like having me as a daughterinlaw…….”
Lilia asked, hoping they would object.
“It does seem a little that way, but the young Duke is so infatuated with you.”
“I haven’t even gone first for my sister yet, is it okay for me to go?”
“Oh, dear, thinking about your sister like this.”
Lilia’s unintentional expression impressed her mother.
“Don’t worry about that. People say that since you are better than your sister, it’s good that you find a good match and marry first.”
“Ah…… yes.”
A momentary sense of defeat flashed across Lilia’s face.
It seemed like trying to win over her mother was a failure. What to do?
There was no choice but to make the young Duke Berth back off himself. But this boneheaded man showed no signs of letting go.
Annoyed, Lilia asked Lady Berium, “What did Young Duke Berth like about me? He’s the most popular man in society, and there must be many more beautiful and elegant women in society.”
“I wonder. Maybe…….”
Her mother thought for a moment and then said.
“Your modest and gentle demeanor? Usually, popular men prefer modest women.”
Modest woman….
Repeating her mother’s words, Lilia’s lips slowly turned up.
A good idea came to her mind.
(This is a time separator.)
“Miss, are you worried about something?”
Mirabel asked with a puzzled expression, seeing Liz deep in thought.
Liz didn’t even realize she was lost in thought until Mirabel asked.
It was because her concern for Kain wouldn’t leave her mind.
“Um, Mirabel.”
Liz asked Mirabel cautiously.
“Yes, Miss.”
“About Kain…….”
“…….”
Kain’s name stiffened Mirabel’s lips.
“Are you okay? How is it?”
“What is it?”
“No, I mean… are you all right?”
“Too all right?”
“Oh… Well then.”
“Perhaps, Miss…”
Mirabel asked Liz, who was finishing the conversation with an awkward face, with her eyes narrowed.
“You still don’t have feelings for Kain, do you?”
“No. It’s nothing like that.”
I’ll believe anything you say.
“Just a little something’s been bothering me.”
Liz didn’t doubt it.
Knowing how the strands of fate are connected, it’s not like there could still be lingering feelings.
It’s just… a momentary pang of sympathy.
“That’s a relief.”
Having tidied up, Mirabel turned to leave the room.
Suddenly, a strange necklace placed on the dressing table caught her eye.
“Is this. Yours, Miss?”
Mirabel pointed to the necklace and spoke.
“Ah, that.”
Distracted by other thoughts filling her head, Liz had completely forgotten she had left the necklace in Lilia’s room.
“It fell on the floor. It looks like Lilia’s. Can you take it to Lilia’s room on your way down?”
“Yes, I will.”
Mirabel left, and Liz sat back in the armchair, staring out the window.
The sun was shining brightly, but it was bleak like early winter.
The trees that had flaunted their freshness and splendor with summer and autumn, greenery and fall foliage were now only baring their naked branches in the cold air. The flower beds that used to flaunt various colors were empty.
Looking down at such a desolate winter garden, Liz’s already troubled heart became even more troubled.
‘Now go back to the palace.’
Liz wished more than ever for Kain to return to his place.
And in that place, in addition to the desire to remove Kain from sight, another emotion was taking hold.
A wish for him to no longer suffer.
She wished he would quickly reconcile with the heroine and marry her into the palace like the original story.
That would be good for everyone.
Does Kain have some grand scheme?
For example, timing his appearance to bring about the greatest catastrophe…
Knockknock.
Startled by the sudden knock, Liz shivered. Then she cautiously called out toward the door.
“…Mirabel?”
However, it seemed that Liz already knew it wasn’t her.
The inadvertently wavering eyes, the trembling fingertips were the evidence.
The visitor outside the door was Kain… she thought.
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.]
