No, wait.

‘Is there an easy way to pump muscles?’

Atia pondered while examining the dark magic book.

‘Probably not?’

The dark magic book was filled with cruel spells, such as methods to gradually blind someone or inflict diseases on a healthy body, resembling heart failure.

There didn’t seem to be any methods for bulking up without spending time or immediately surpassing a firm body.

Just looking at various curses written in the book made Atia feel nauseous. Unable to endure it any longer, she slammed the book shut.

“I can’t take this.”

As Atia peered into the dark magic book, she wiped her chest and frowned.

‘Pumping muscles? What nonsense… It’s freezing.’

It couldn’t be possible. The dark magic book wasn’t a lump of protein.

With a disappointed heart, Atia shook her head to forget the contents she had just seen.

Cascus checked Atia’s condition and placed his arm around her shoulders.

“What’s written? Is it really okay?”

Her shoulders were still small and slender, but unlike before, Cascus felt some strength from somewhere deep inside Atia’s body.

“…”

For some reason, Cascus was worried about her condition. It was frustrating not being able to read ancient languages and using such a book recklessly.

“If there’s even a slight problem, tell me. I’ll do something about it.”

“Yes.”

Cascus was curious about how Atia knew how to read ancient languages, but for now, monitoring her condition was more important.

“It’s fascinating. You know how to read ancient languages.”

Owen, looking at Atia with even more interest, commented.

Cascus, who had been watching from the side every time a sharp glint appeared, didn’t like the expression on Owen’s face.

But he couldn’t tell him not to stare at her with those eyes while holding the crown prince by the neck. It was an impossible task.

‘Those eyes… I never liked them from the beginning.’

Cascus noticed that Owen’s gaze on his wife had strangely changed.

It became even more apparent after the revelation that she could read ancient languages.

It was strange that the crown prince, who needed Atia’s prophetic ability, was so interested in her, possessing a talent that others didn’t have.

“Most wizards can’t decipher more than a part of the book, and you can read the whole thing?”

Owen looked at Atia with a slight smile.

“Yes.”

“Amazing. Truly amazing.”

He calculated the usefulness of Atia in his mind, each time a sharp gleam appeared.

‘It’s definitely the right choice to unlock dark magic for her.’

“I thought it would be a good investment, but it seems like it’s much more than expected. If I handle it well, it might be more than a goose that lays golden eggs.’

“I was also surprised because it was written in a language I know.”

“It’s incredible that you can read ancient languages without learning them separately… Truly, it’s unbelievably fascinating.”

“It’s not over yet. I have to find the one who cast this spell on my body.”

“I already investigated that family in advance.”

Owen continued.
“But nothing has been revealed yet. Let’s dig deeper. It seems there’s a fishy smell, Viscount Harald.”

‘As expected, Owen has completed the investigation.’

The Harald family was known for their loyalty to the royal family, but now, they seemed precarious to anyone.

‘I heard that Viscount Shupen Harald has engaged in various businesses, facing the risk of downfall.’

Calculating Owen’s decision to abandon Viscount Harald and join Atia was only natural.

Atia was well aware of all of this.

“No, why would I do something like this just because I have some skill… Don’t ask. Is it a crime? Just a prank? I don’t know, but if caught, I’d like to make a soundproof pot.”

Atia exclaimed excitedly as she exhaled.

Someone unknown had cast a curse.

How much she had suffered because of it.

The original Atia would have died under the influence of this dark magic.

Not knowing this fact, when she read the book, she felt nothing special, but now, living in this body, how unjust and infuriating it was.

“…”

Initially, Atia thought it would be good to burn the dark magic book. However, it might be better to consider the possibility of it being used as evidence later.

Therefore, she decided not to burn the dark magic book hastily and instead pondered it carefully.

‘What Hari said about something being in the basement of the palace must be this. If I ask Hari where it is later, it should be possible. Hari seems to be able to feel the location of the book.’

Atia wanted to leave this stuffy secret chamber first. She also wanted to confirm if the curse was completely lifted.

“It feels a bit stuffy to be in a dark and narrow place. Shall we go out for a moment and talk?”

After a while, Atia, who had left the underground secret chamber, frowned as she looked up at the sunlight shining above her head.

‘The weather is nice for once.’

The sunlight pouring down from the sky seemed to be congratulating Atia on her new body, sparkling and shining.

Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)

One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.

Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

※※※

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

Three days later, neither of them had woken up.

Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.

Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.

The entire internet was in an uproar.

After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

※※※

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.

Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”

“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”

Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”

Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”

At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.

[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]

①Male pregnancy (highlighted)

The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
