Where Nelia’s gaze landed, there was a white snake curling its tail.
The snake had its eyes closed, seemingly in sleep.
Where had Duke Hart gone, and why was there a snake on the bed?
Nelia looked around the room. Then, she found a piece of clothing under the blanket.
The clothing was similar to what the Duke had been wearing. To confirm, she would have to lift the clothing.
Before doing so, Nelia glanced at the snake.
‘It’s still sleeping…….’
Moreover, the rather plump face of the snake didn’t look like that of a venomous species.
From her limited knowledge, venomous snakes like vipers had triangular faces.
Cautiously avoiding the sleeping snake, Nelia reached out and picked up the clothing.
As suspected, it was the clothes Duke Hart had been wearing. Moreover, this was an undergarment…….
“Oh, dear!”
Surprised, Nelia dropped the piece of clothing she was holding. She quickly covered her mouth and looked at the snake.
It seemed to have woken up from the noise, blinking its eyes at her.
‘Damn, I’m screwed.’
It was her first time seeing a snake so close. She hadn’t even visited a zoo in her previous life.
Not to mention a zoo, she hadn’t even seen one on TV, as her television at home had been disconnected halfway.
However, she could tell that this snake looked a bit different from regular ones. Instead of appearing slender, it seemed chubby and short.
‘…The more I look, oddly enough, it seems quite cute.’
It seemed rather clumsy, trying hard to curl its tail, making it look even more so.
The snake’s eyes gradually focused. Then, as if surprised, it hurriedly uncoiled its tail. It looked flustered.
She wasn’t sure, but the snake seemed to be sneakily glancing at her.
Nelia, who had been watching, slowly backed away without taking her eyes off the snake.
‘It may look cute, but it could bite.’
She had to avoid provoking it as much as possible.
However, then, she accidentally dropped the medicine bottle on the bed.
‘Damn.’
She canceled her retreat. She had to pick up the medicine bottle that fell on the bed.
Nelia cautiously reached out her hand, alert for the possibility that the snake might bite.
“Be nice.”
Of course, the snake wouldn’t understand, but luckily, it stayed calm and quiet.
Finally, her hand touched the medicine bottle.
As she swiftly lifted it, the snake’s gaze followed the bottle. Then, it suddenly flailed about as if it was stimulated by something.
Nelia stretched out her hand to calm the snake.
“Woah, woah…! Be nice… Don’t move.”
She wasn’t sure what had provoked the snake, but it looked quite excited now.
It reacted when she picked up the medicine bottle. Did the snake know what this medicine was?
‘…That can’t be.’
She had been dealing with dynamic events recently, and it seemed her mind was playing tricks on her.
‘But where on earth has Duke Hart gone…?’
And what on earth is this snake…?
Nelia, who was quietly looking down, thought that the snake, which seemed to have a gentle temperament, might be a pet of Duke Hart. There were occasionally people who kept reptiles like snakes.
The citizens of the Adrian Empire seemed to dislike snakes, but the Duke was such an eccentric person that anything could be possible.
Nelia placed the medicine bottle on the desk, thinking it strange. The snake straightened its body but, fortunately, didn’t lunge at her.
“……”
Suddenly, Nelia felt something familiar about the snake. She had never seen a snake in her life, but this strange sense of familiarity piqued her curiosity.
‘It seems the snake isn’t aggressive….’
When Nelia turned on the lamp next to her, the side of the bed became bright. Thanks to this, she could see the snake in more detail.
‘It wasn’t white.’
It was close to being silverscaled.
Somehow, she found the snake’s eyes fascinating, they were not black like a regular snake’s but shimmering silver, akin to glass beads.
For some reason, she did not feel the snake was repulsive.
Instead, she was filled with a sense of sacredness and reverence that made her feel peculiar.
Nelia, forgetting her intention to go outside, stared at the snake for a while.
The snake lowered its body from its erected posture and slithered smoothly onto the blanket. In a flash, it approached Nelia.
Startled, Nelia jerked back momentarily, but as expected, the snake didn’t attack.
Nelia cautiously extended her hand. The snake slowly approached and bumped its head against her hand.
As if a familiar alley cat was greeting a human.
Nelia stretched out a finger and stroked the snake’s smooth head.
In response, the snake moved its head, as if echoing her gesture.
‘This snake behaves like a puppy.’
Nelia thought the current moment felt surreal.
She had come to deliver a medicine bottle to Duke Hart, but instead of him on the bed, there was a snake.
Moreover, both the appearance and behavior of this snake were unlike any ordinary snake.
‘Is it a spiritual creature…….?’
Since it was Duke Hart, she thought it was plausible that he could keep a spiritual creature.
“I must be going.”
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…?
