Manut wore an active charcoalcolored robe, over which he had strapped shoulder guards made of black ox leather and iron armor. Around his waist, he wore a thick red belt adorned with golden tassels, and suspended from the leather straps on his chest were two daggers.

Though it was early morning, Manut, impeccably dressed in a full military uniform and wearing a high hat decorated with a large halfmoon of bronze, hastily parked his camel at the front gate and looked around for his master.

“I am Manut Ahim. I came immediately upon receiving the urgent summons from General Hades. Where is the General? Have the others not yet gathered?”

Lukewan quickly approached Manut’s side as he dismounted his camel and began to give the animal water.

Yanan greeted Manut respectfully.

“May the blessings of the desert be with you, General Manut. Ah, you’ve even come in full dress uniform. There was no need for that.”

“The others?”

“I heard only you would come, General Manut.”

“What? It was said to be an urgent summons.”

“Yes, it’s urgent. Now, come this way. Leave your sword with the camel. Lord Hades is waiting. You two, follow me.”

Yanan, leading two handmaidens, escorted Manut down the palace’s opulent corridor, chuckling heartily for some unknown reason.

At the entrance to the harem palace, seven twowheeled carts pulled by donkeys stood in a row.

“My goodness, is it Lord Hagnu’s birthday?”

One of the gatekeepers questioned Yanan with a sigh.

“It’s stranger that someone of Caleb’s descent has gone this long without receiving gifts.”

“Fair point.”

At the gatekeeper’s agreement, she started to unwrap a small chest piled onto the first cart.

After delicately removing two dahlia flowers and untying triple silk knots, she revealed a small chest with a tiny lock.

Yanan fished out a key and opened the chest for the gatekeepers to inspect.

“How are we going to check all this…”

Sighing, the gatekeepers sifted through the fine fabrics in the chest one by one before pointing to another chest.

Yanan wordlessly relocked the chest with the key, rewrapped it in soft turquoise silk, tied it again with triple knots, and placed the dahlia flowers back in.

“Hold on, this…”

One of the gatekeepers looked down the line of donkey carts, sweating profusely.

“Of course, it’s just clothing, fabrics, jewelry, and snacks specially made in the Caleb territory, but we have to follow procedure.”

For some inexplicable reason, Yanan began to smile wickedly as she started to untie the next chest.

How much time had passed?

“Oh, god of swords!”

“Mother!”

“My love! My day is ruined!”

The gatekeepers started lamenting, calling out to their guardian deities, mothers, and lovers due to the endless and boring task.

Moreover, they had to screen other young girls going to the harem’s madrasa for studies, as well as the palace maids.

Soon a strange shared belief began to take root in their hearts.

“Hey, the guys at the next gate will screen carefully even if we don’t, right?”

That tiny seed of belief grew gradually throughout the tedious inspection process and became a huge plant.

Larger, even larger.

Fed by opulent turquoise necklaces and purple wool carpets that looked like woven galaxies coming out of the opened chests, that belief grew until it towered over an adult man, covering the honor and grace of the Sultan and the palace as brightly as the midday sun at the Grand Bazaar.

“Why would Caleb bring in anything strange?”

“……Why indeed?”
Yanan, as always, grinned as he spoke to them.

It was when only 2 of the 7 wagons had been inspected.

“Pass through the next gate.”

“Ah, such a hassle.”

Yanan tilted his head as if troubled.

“I wouldn’t want to tarnish Caleb’s honor with such a cumbersome process. May the desert guardians bless Caleb.”

The gatekeepers, covering their own laziness convincingly, waved the wagons through.

“May the guardians bless all things of the Sultan and the royal palace.”

Yanan slightly bowed his head, a cheerful smile starting to form on his lips.

Thump, from inside a large chest of fabric located in the sixth position of the seventh wagon, both giggling and stifled crying were heard simultaneously.

“Idiots.”

“I might really be thirsty, you know.”

“If we get caught, let’s die honorably together, Manut. Isn’t it an honor to share life and death with the supreme general of a nation?”

“General…! I’d rather die of thirst in the desert than die in a harem dressed as a woman.”

Manut, who was lying low under the fabrics inside the chest, had changed into women’s clothing to prepare for what was to come.

“How is it? Isn’t there some honor in dying infamous for breaking into a harem?”

Squeak, the wagon stopped again, and their whispers disappeared.

“We will proceed to open the chests.”

Along with Yanan’s voice, sighs from the second set of harem gatekeepers began to be heard.

The heat was diminishing, signs of the sky turning orange appeared.

Latifa had changed into around 50 sets of clothes brought by Asti and had messy hair.

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most

One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.

This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:

1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.

It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.

(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)

2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.

The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.

3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.

Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).

Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.

Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.

4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).

5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!

You’re bound to regret it if you skip this novel. Read the review & spoiler to find out what you might be missing!
