“How can I persuade this man?”
She hadn’t expected instant success, but disappointment was inevitable.
Becoming an appraiser of magical items didn’t require magic, but having it would be a great advantage. An appraiser who knows magic and one who doesn’t are worlds apart.
Plus, encountering a wizard and learning magic is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It could change her life.
Back in her room, Cordelia sat at her vanity, deep in thought.
She refused dinner offered by a maid, lost in contemplation.
Just confirming that the person in Craig’s body was indeed Leonard Atilei was a significant discovery.
“I must learn magic from him, no matter what.”
Everything was going differently than she expected.
Craig, whom she thought dead, was alive, and the soul of a grand wizard resided in the body of her supposedly foolish husband.
While some might see it as a dire situation, Cordelia found it exhilarating.
For the first time in her life, she had an opportunity to make her own decisions.
The thrill ran through her fingertips, her blood boiling with excitement.
‘I can’t let this chance slip away.’
It seemed the star protecting the Vasquez family had finally decided to pity her.
It felt like receiving all the delayed birthday gifts at once.
Cordelia fell asleep with a genuinely happy smile for the first time in a long while.
Nobody visited the room of the earl who had become foolish, except for his wife, Cordelia.
The servants unanimously praised her for her modesty, but the reality was different from their speculations.
“Good morning.”
“Aren’t you tired of this?”
“Why would I be tired of seeing my husband’s face?”
Cordelia smiled broadly and comfortably took her usual seat beside him.
Since that day, she had been visiting Leonard daily, providing care that wasn’t exactly care.
“Look, no matter how much you beg, it’s not going to happen. You think learning magic is like getting a home tutor for history? If it were that easy, there’d be an overflow of wizards in the country.”
“I haven’t said anything yet?”
“Ha.”
Leonard found her presence burdensome, tiring, and annoying.
Under normal circumstances, he would have ignored her, but given the current situation, he couldn’t dismiss or drive her away so easily.
Furthermore, the fact that she knew his true identity was very unsettling.
“Have you had breakfast yet?”
“No appetite.”
“I haven’t eaten yet either. Let’s eat together. I changed the chef; hope it’s to your liking.”
“You only hear what you want, don’t you? Very convenient.”
Despite Leonard’s sarcastic remarks, Cordelia remained unfazed. He couldn’t help but be astonished at her shamelessness.
Just then, Emily entered with a trolley full of food. Cordelia transferred the plates to the tray and scooped up a spoonful of stew, blowing on it in case it was too hot.
“Just try one bite. The chef prepared it specially for you.”
“Why do you keep bothering me when I said I don’t want to eat?”
“Ah! Lady Cordelia.”
Leonard rudely brushed her hand away, causing the contents on the spoon to spill onto the back of Cordelia’s hand.
The nearby maid rushed over in shock.
“Oh dear, are you okay?”
“It’s nothing.”
“How can it be? It’s turned red.”
While the maid wiped Cordelia’s hand, her eyes flickered with resentment towards Leonard.
“Leave this to me and you can go.”
“Yes, Lady Cordelia. Call me if you need anything.”
Cordelia silently massaged her reddened hand.
Despite the pain from the burn, she didn’t glare at Leonard, instead calmly clearing the dishes with a smile. Leonard found this exceedingly irritating.
“How are you feeling today?”
“You. Why do you keep annoying me?”
His irritation grew each day with her daily visits, smiling and chatting.
“Huh?”
“Don’t come here anymore. How many times do I have to tell you?”
“I just… feel comfortable here.”
“Comfortable with me, whom you’ve barely seen a few times?”
“You don’t call me a money-sucking leech.”
“……”
“And you don’t come home drunk, throwing tantrums, or bringing mistresses over to whisper sweet nothings in front of me.”
Leonard was at a loss for words at Cordelia’s calm continuation.
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…?
