The sound of sharp iron clasping together was heard. Startled, Yuri Hsien turned around and saw Heathcliff with his sword drawn, facing the master. Even in this situation, Heathcliff’s lustful eyes were fixed on Yuri Hsien.
It seemed as though he wanted to take Yuri Hsien, even if it meant killing the man blocking his way, even if it meant pointing his sword like this.
The vividly revealed whirlpool of desire made the onlookers flabbergasted.
“Get out of the way, can’t you hear me?!”
Heathcliff growled. However, it was only for a moment; even though hunting was his hobby, he was no good when heavily drunk. He was soon subdued by the master.
“You lawless child! Do you know who I am?! Can’t you get away from me right now?!”
The rasping voice was threatening, but the slurred pronunciation gave it a comical feel. Heathcliff struggled to get out of the master’s grasp, but only made his ugly situation worse.
“You’re all going to be executed. Executed!”
“We have only stopped the crown prince from harming Windsor princess under Windsor Duke’s jurisdiction. Even if you take us to trial, you won’t be able to punish us.”
No matter how much Heathcliff yelled, the master didn’t even blink.
Yuri Hsien looked at Heathcliff as he was restrained by the master and thrown onto a table by the patrolmen, tied up. His floundering like a chicken was shameful to anyone watching.
“Yuri Hsien…!”
Heathcliff’s bloodshot eyes glared at Yuri Hsien. It was a gaze thick with dark obsession and bottomless possessiveness. Yuri Hsien couldn’t understand why he was looking at her that way.
‘Wasn’t it because I was a Windsor that he hated me…?’
She didn’t know what was on Heathcliff’s mind. In fact, she didn’t know anything at all. Heathcliff no longer seemed like the person she knew.
The only thing she was certain of was that the heart that used to tremble with excitement whenever he showed that possessiveness was now shattered. She could hear something breaking deep in her chest. Whether it was the sound of her heart breaking or her body breaking, she didn’t know.
Yuri Hsien finally lost consciousness, unable to bear the headache that felt like her skull was splitting apart.
(This is a time separator.)
The sensation of sinking deep into the water and then being pulled up to the surface by someone.
Yuri Hsien woke up from sleep, feeling the fearful and yet relieved sensation she had felt when she fell into the castle’s lake as a child.
“……”
The first thing she saw was her own hand, gripping the bedsheet until it turned white. It was so tense that she couldn’t straighten it even if she tried. Slowly shaking her head, she felt the damp pillowcase.
‘Was I… having a nightmare…?’
Her heart was beating fast as if she had struggled in a painful dream, but she couldn’t remember. After a while, Yuri Hsien realized that she had not struggled in her dream but in reality.
Yuri Hsien…!
She heard Heathcliff’s voice calling her from beyond distant consciousness.
“Tsk!”
At the moment, her entire body stiffened so much that her bones felt like they would snap. The terror she had felt then once again overtook Yuri Hsien. No matter how much she closed her eyes, the face of the man who seemed to be solely focused on getting drunk on her kept coming to mind.
A tightly clenched forehead, the white of bloodshot eyes, eyes that were clouded as if intoxicated by something, a nose and mouth that were wheezing hot breaths, and the man who looked at me with a sticky gaze as he unfastened his belt.
“Ugh.”
The more she thought about it, the more nauseated she felt. They say that the only blessing God gave to humans is oblivion, but she didn’t know why such a painful memory did not fade in the slightest.
Yuri Hsien was scared of the emptiness behind her, so she pressed herself tightly against the bed and looked up at the ceiling. The spiderwebcovered ceiling of the attic could not have been more comforting.
“Heuk…… Ha…….”
She felt the tears that flowed down the corner of her eyes disappearing into her hair.
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…?
