Arang was the South Korean national representative who swept the gold medal in the pistol division of the recently held Olympics.
Shooting, which she happened to encounter when she was young, had opened a new world for her. The deafening sound and the smell of gunpowder were no problem at all.
From the moment she saw it for the first time, she intuitively felt that this was her path.
Proving that conviction, Arang’s genius was unleashed without reservation once she began shooting seriously.
Both nationally and internationally, she swept medals at various world competitions and was selected as a national representative at the age of 18. Even in her first Olympics, she had astonished the world with her unwavering skill.
The reason she could remain surprisingly calm now, when panic might set in, was because of that. Shooting was a mental battle, after all.
There were times when she had to shoot 60 consecutive bullets, so it became her habit and routine to stay calm and composed in any situation.
Swiftly connecting her thoughts, she felt the need to identify this body’s identity and gather information about this place.
And the person who seemed most likely to provide that information was the girl named Lia in front of her.
“Where is this?”
“Huh? This is Istella’s duke’s house in the capital of the Aodin Empire.”
“Aodin Empire?”
Strangely, that word felt very familiar. Based on her experience of traveling to various countries during her athletic career, it was clear that there was no such place on Earth.
Lia’s face began to show concern at such an unexpected question, and after a brief hesitation, she cautiously opened her mouth.
“Are you like this because of the shock from yesterday’s incident?”
‘Yesterday’s incident?’
Arang had no idea what happened yesterday, but she sensed intuitively that it was an important story related to this body.
So, she calmly nodded her head.
“Right. The shock seems to have confused my memory. Could you tell me the story again?”
Lia was bewildered that the person who had been crying and screaming just yesterday was now asking so calmly. However, since it was such a significant event, she was able to accept it without doubt.
At the same time, she felt a pang of sympathy. How shocked must she have been to not even remember properly?
“You were decided to go to the Karies Empire at their request, weren’t you?”
“Karies Empire?”
“You know, Miss. The fact that our relationship with them has not been good because of past events.”
Arang could not have known that. But strangely, the name Karies, like Aodin, didn’t feel foreign.
However, she could not give away that she knew nothing, so she went along with it as calmly as possible.
“That’s right.”
“The Karies Empire said that if they were going to show sincerity, they should at least send someone from a noble family with a reputation. As you know, Aodin is not in a situation to refuse.”
She struggled to understand the situation here with the minimal information she had. Fortunately, Lia didn’t seem too suspicious.
“So, to show that sincerity, I was the one decided to go?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Why specifically me?”
“You know, Miss, the Istella Ducal House has been one of the families where ability has been passed down for generations. So, as the eldest daughter of the ducal house, Miss Evenel…”
“Hold on.”
Arang stopped there and blocked Lia’s words, realizing the identity of the ominous feeling she first felt when she heard the name Aodin, as various puzzle pieces came together.
“Why did it sound so familiar.”
‘It’s the content of the novel Aran told me before.’
Arang especially liked the genre called romance fantasy among novels, so she used to tell stories from time to time.
‘In the beginning of the novel, Aodin sent a noble young lady to the Duke’s family, but she was thrown as the prey of the monster by Karies, the male protagonist, and ended up dead. And send her corpse to Aodin. Isn’t it utterly satisfying?’
‘Why kill an Aemon person?’
‘Being a person of Aodin is a crime in Karies.’
It was a part that Arang could not understand. It looked nothing but venting on someone who didn’t deserve it.
Even if there had been such a situation in the past.
‘But unexpectedly, when the female protagonist who can see the core of the monster appears in Karies……’
‘Stop there. I don’t understand even if I hear it.’
‘Have some interests other than shooting. The only book you read is related to guns.’
Arang’s interests were only related to shooting, so she lightly brushed it off at that time. But thanks to that, she was able to know who this body was.
Evenel Istella, who was brutally killed by a monster in the beginning of the novel.
Could it be that she opened her eyes in this impossible place because she missed Aran so much?
“Are you alright, miss?”
Lia, who had fainted at the news of going to Karies, was only worried. Then Arang, who had been lost in thought, threw a sharp question.
“But is that really all?”
“Huh?”
“The reason I’m going there. It seems like there’s another reason.”
“That is……”
Seeing that she couldn’t continue easily, Arang didn’t pursue further and returned to the bed instead.
“I want to rest a bit.”
“Huh? Yes, please do. I’ll have everything perfectly prepared for going to Karies. Don’t worry, I’ll go with you.”
Left alone after Lia left, she turned her body and stared blankly at the sunlight that shone dazzlingly.
“Will I die soon then.”
The reason she didn’t care even though she knew she was destined to die was simple.
‘I’m still alone here anyway.’
If she couldn’t meet her younger sibling Aran again, Arang didn’t want to change anything.
“Is it rather a relief?”
She wanted to believe in the faint possibility that she might meet Aran if she died here.
‘I miss you so much now.’
The loss of her only family would not be more painful than being killed by that monster called a monster. That was the only thing she could be sure of.
Arang, no, Evenel, who had already lost everything, just thought of letting it flow, even if it was her own death.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
