49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 7
Cho Gam appeared at the retreat on his usual schedule, took the pulses of Hwa Ryeo and me in turn, and then prescribed appropriate medicine.
Normally, after receiving his prescription, I would have eaten a hearty meal and rested my weary body from the journey here. But today, he had one more task to attend to.
“Your Highness has suffered a burn on your hand.”
Un Gwi said this while showing the bandage wrapped around Hwa Ryeo’s hand.
“Oh dear. How did this happen?”
While Cho Gam asked, I stayed pressed against the corner of the wall, pretending ignorance.
“Well…”
Un Gwi, whether he knew the truth or not, gave a vague answer and carefully unwound the bandage.
I sat with my hand tucked beneath me, stealing glances at the scene.
Once the bandage was fully removed, Cho Gam let out a short sigh. My heart sank at the sound.
“Goodness, how on earth did this happen, Your Highness? Did you pour boiling water on your hand?”
Cho Gam made a guess quite close to the truth, then opened his medical bag again. I pressed myself against the wall, hugging my knees as I waited for the treatment to finish.
While Cho Gam ground herbs, Cheong Yang took out fresh bandages and cut them to the proper length. Wol Seom repeatedly dipped the bandages into boiled water and wrung them out.
After all the preparations were complete, Cho Gam applied herbal paste to his disciple’s wound and neatly rewrapped the bandage, then wiped his hands and spoke.
“You’ll need to visit the palace, Your Majesty.”

Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…

One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”

I know it may be exaggerated considering that the throne is at stake, but it still bothers me that she speaks as a perfect victim of abuse, looking for approval of another party over the matter of how SHE will live 😢
They really just went to the Emperor without a plan and haven’t discussed possible outcomes between themselves? 😠
Poor girl, taking examination again is quite the punishment 🥲
