Aelfrie bowed her head and stepped aside. She was worried that the other person might recognize her.
Because of Count Aradis’s notorious gossiping, the people in society knew what purpose Aelfrie had been born for.
So if it became known that she was interested in the book of the golden rule, it would be laughed at as still not being able to let go of false hopes.
Fortunately, the staff member did not pay any more attention to Aelfrie and took out the book they wanted and left. Aelfrie withdrew her gaze from the book of the golden rule and examined another book, pulling one out and becoming lost in thought.
It was a very thin and small book.
But when she turned the cover, as if to warn not to be deceived by its appearance, it was filled with dense text and complex equations.
Aelfrie checked the author of the book. Sure enough. The author’s name was clearly stamped, the same as the book that I had struggled to understand for a long time.
After contemplating a little more, Aelfrie embraced it with a determined face.
She didn’t know when she could visit the library again. Then it was better to choose a book that could be read for as long as possible.
So that there would be less time to feel bored until the next visit.
‘It’s fortunate that the book rental period is long.’
Even though it was difficult to show an ID and come out like this, there must have been opportunities to bring it during the several months of the rental period.
Returning it didn’t even require an ID, after all.
Aelfrie then went around the shelves and selected a few more books. When she had picked out ten books, she quickly turned around. It was now really time to go home.
Aelfrie headed for the checkout counter. Then suddenly, she thought of the first book she had seen. The thick book of the golden rule.
‘Should I take it?’
Hesitating, Aelfrie shook her head. She felt pathetic. Even at 27, not just 3, the one who couldn’t let go of the longing for the golden rule wasn’t her father, but herself.
(This is a time separator.)
Hastily returning home, Aelfrie entered through the back door as quietly as possible. Heading to the kitchen connected to the back door, Jenna, who was there despite having been told to rest, greeted Aelfrie.
“Miss!”
“Shh. Did my parents wake up?”
“No, they’re still asleep.”
At Jenna’s answer, Aelfrie finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Did you go to the library?”
“Yes. I’ll put the books down and come right up.”
Aelfrie grumbled and went upstairs with her bag.
Normally, the master’s family of a mansion had their rooms on the 2nd or 3rd floor. But Aelfrie’s place was the 4th floor, classified as a space for servants.
Aelfrie’s room used to be on the 3rd floor as well.
Then Elize, who shared the 3rd floor with her, claimed that she needed more space for her clothes, sent Aelfrie upstairs, and turned Aelfrie’s room into her own dressing room.
Entering her room, Aelfrie immediately shoved her bag full of books under the bed and changed her clothes. Then she went to the study with her father’s ID.
After safely putting it back in its original place and coming out into the hallway, the sound of footsteps was heard from the corner. Aelfrie had no chance to go down, and the owner of the footsteps revealed herself.
“What’s this?”
The person who appeared scowled as soon as she saw Aelfrie. As if she had seen a bug.
“Eh, Elize……”
The person who had appeared was Aelfrie’s younger sister, Elize, who was 3 years younger.
“It was you, Lida?”
Far from calling her sister, Elize called Aelfrie with an annoyed face, as if dealing with a maid. Lida, not Aelfrie.
Aelfrie’s name, registered in the aristocratic roster, was Aelfrieda. The successor to the strongest golden rule in mythology. A name her father had thoughtlessly put.
But it was usually called Aelfrie as it was too bothersome to call it as such, and also embarrassing. But only Elize called her Lida, not Aelfrie.
Since the name was Aelfrieda, there was no particular problem with calling her Aelfrie or Lida as a nickname.
But Aelfrie remembered. That the name of the precious breed of puppy that her father had bought a long time ago for a large sum of money was Lida.
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…?
