A few days after Casus mentioned the night.
Atia was still locked in her room, not coming out.
And finally today.
“Maybe it’s fine to go out now? I feel restless to death.”
Atia was walking back and forth between the window and the door, pondering.
However.
“Ah, no! I can’t be caught by the Duke again…”
The Casus in the novel would eliminate anything he disliked.
So stealthily… Snap!
Just imagining it already made her cringe.
“Aaahhh!”
Atia scratched her head and stomped her feet.
She had even thought about secretly becoming friendlier with Heidegger.
But Heidegger was so busy with official duties that he didn’t even have time to see her.
There must be more than one or two things to do in the duke’s residence.
Kesha, who had been doing planks next to her, lifted her head and asked while looking at Atia who was scratching her head.
“Why are you scratching your head, my lady?”
“Huh! 4 seconds left.”
Atia said, still scratching her head with both hands and raising one eyebrow.
Then she gestured to Kesha to return to her position.
Kesha couldn’t afford to waste even a single day, according to Atia.
“Ah!”
Kesha, who had been lax, finally caught on and returned to her plank position.
“Haah…”
A moment later, the room was filled with hot breaths.
Kesha drank water and yelled loudly.
“My lady, my lady, something strange happened to my stomach.”
“Huh?”
Kesha lifted her top a bit and pointed at her stomach. She seemed amazed.
Atia blinked and looked at Kesha.
Defined abs had appeared.
Kesha’s belly, which had been filled with visceral fat, had made an amazing transformation in a short period.
Atia gave a thumbsup and smiled broadly.
“Wow, congratulations! Kesha. You got a onepack. Now you can do laundry on your belly.”
“Laundry?”
“Yes, let’s name it… ‘Kesha Laundry Board’?”
Kesha stood in front of a fulllength mirror, observing her belly from all angles.
Her body fat had reduced, and her hidden abs now clearly defined.
“Wow.”
Kesha touched her belly.
It was flat and firm. It was incomparable to the soft texture she had before.
Her waist size had significantly reduced.
More importantly, she felt lighter and her mind clearer when she moved her body.
Even the same clothes seemed to fit better.
“My lady, what is this…”
“It’s proof that you’ve worked out hard,”
Atia explained with a sly smile.
“Gasp! Then you must be even more defined.”
Kesha asked innocently.
Atia touched her own belly.
“I’m not quite there yet.”
“But you worked much harder than me?”
“You must’ve worked harder.”
Atia smiled wryly and shook her head.
“I must focus on surviving first.”
It was still a stride in progress.
Although she didn’t have a sharply defined core like Kesha, the original Atia had appeared too frail even to lift a spoon.
But now, her body could withstand running, walking, and intense exercise.
‘It’s probably the most difficult body I’ve ever had to deal with.’
She wasn’t sure if she could become like Kang Jiha from her previous life, but she was a person who believed nothing was impossible.
Perhaps the symptom of not gaining muscle was also included in the cause of her limited life span.
If the goal is too easy, it’s not fun.
‘It ignites me even more.’
Atia slapped her stomach with her palm, then clenched her fist tightly again.
‘But… really, I want to go out so badly.’
Even her burning will cooled for a moment, and Atia drooped like a sick chicken.
“My lady, are you alright?”
Kesha asked with concern.
A good idea came to the pondering Atia.
“Shall we take a walk after dinner for the first time in a while?”
(This is a time separator.)
In the early evening, when the sun had not yet fully set, the beautiful twilight colored the earth red.
Using the pretext of a ‘walk,’ Atia took Kesha out for a stroll after dinner.
Of course, only within the backyard, so as not to catch Casus’s eye.
“Ah, I should’ve come here sooner.”
Atia muttered, looking at the yard.
The spacious, open yard was not as suitable for exercise as the training ground but was still quite adequate.
It was located behind the mansion and thus wasn’t noticeable.
The trees were also moderately tall, making it feel as if one were in a forest.
The cool outdoor air scattered Atia’s hair.
“Is your body feeling a bit better now?”
Kesha worried that Atia might faint again, like the last time.
Debating whether they should call a doctor.
“I’ve been fine for a while now.”
“Phew, that’s really a relief.”
Kesha sighed in relief at Atia’s response.
“It’s quiet and good for a walk. And also…”
Atia started rummaging through her bag.
The moment Atia put her hand in her bag, Kesha became anxious right away.
Thump!
Out of the bag came a rubber ball.
Kesha, who had thought it would be a heavy dumbbell, sighed in relief once more.
Because she had expected another round of exercise under the guise of a walk.
Bounce!
The elastic rubber ball bounced well off the ground.
Atia played with the ball as if she were a fish in water.
Bounce!
The rubber ball bounced higher than Atia’s height and then fell to the ground.
Kesha grinned, looking at Atia playing with the ball.
“My lady, when did you bring this along?”
“Ah, I felt like bouncing the ball. Kesha, step back a bit.”
Atia gestured with her hand.
“A walk?”
“That will come later. Catch this!”
“What? Wait a minute!”
As Kesha ran back, Atia threw the ball with all her might.
However, she misjudged her strength and the ball flew far away.
Whoosh!
The ball flew into Casus’s face.
Thump!
Casus caught the ball with one hand.
As if he wasn’t already irritated, now he got hit with an unexpected ball.
He had come to the yard for a walk to clear his head, filled with thoughts about the royal family, the princess system, and buying land in the Nayfit region.
And then, suddenly, something came flying rapidly into his field of vision.
After instinctively catching the ball, Casus looked in the direction from which the ball had come.
And there, he saw Atia running toward him.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
