“What’s in it that makes you put on such a serious expression?”
“Read it.”
Yeonwoo began reading the letter Daebok handed her.
The letter contained information about the persecution of numbers in the Hamgyeong Province.
Daebok opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“There have always been conflicts between numbers, big and small, but there has never been a letter circulating to this extent.”
Where did his usual mischievousness go? This was the first time Daebok had appeared like this.
“What’s in the content that makes you put on such a serious expression?”
“Read it.”
As Yeonwoo began reading the letter, the atmosphere in the room grew tense.
The letter reported that the numbers in the Hamgyeong Province blocked the path of management and caused a disturbance by stripping a spy of her clothes. A year ago, there was also an incident where they raided a town and massacred the people.
Geon listened quietly to Daebok’s story.
“If numbers who sympathize with this letter emerge, it will serve as a suitable pretext to incite rebellion. If dissatisfied numbers rise up and join forces with the savages from the border, their scale will be formidable, and we won’t be able to ignore it.”
After a brief silence, Geon spoke.
“Since the founding of the country, there have always been small and large rebellions among the numbers. But this one doesn’t seem like something we can just overlook.”
Since ancient times, Korea had been trying to assimilate the northern Yezhens based on their familial relationships.
Those who settled with favor became numbers and served as a protective shield for Korea against hostile Yezhens.
However, the treatment of settled numbers had gradually become neglectful over time, and discontented numbers had been plundering Korea’s population and wealth.
The circulation of such a letter, which had not happened before, meant that there were quite a few dissatisfied numbers, and it was only a matter of time before this spark turned into a rebellion.
“The time has come.”
Geon had been engaged in skirmishes with the Yezhens for a long time, but this kind of report had never reached him.
The time had come for him to move in earnest.
Feeling anxious at the thought of actually going to war, Yeonwoo’s heart was seized by uncertainty.
I have experienced several battles through the assassins who attacked Geon.
However, engaging in a war was a different matter, and a vague fear filled Yeonwoo’s heart.
As if reading her anxiety, Geon looked at Yeonwoo and opened his lips. “Hong Yeonwoo.”
“Yes?”
When her name was called in a low, melodic voice, Yeonwoo gazed at Geon. Trustworthy deep eyes accompanied by a pleasant tone stared at Yeonwoo.
“You’re the best soldier I know among the soldiers. You’ll do well, so don’t be afraid.”
Geon’s sincerity toward Yeonwoo flowed through his gaze, voice, and expression. Surprisingly, Yeonwoo’s unsettled heart calmed down with the genuine attitude.
“Will you trust me?”
With a gaze solely directed at her, Yeonwoo nodded her head in response. “Yes. I trust Nari.”
“Good.”
Seeing Yeonwoo’s visibly relaxed face, Geon smiled lightly. On the other hand, Daebok, who observed their interaction, tilted his head. Having seen Yeonwoo and Geon together often, he thought their relationship might be more intimate than regular soldiers. However, there was a subtle atmosphere between them, making it seem different from the typical bond between superior and subordinate.
Until just now, Yeonwoo had nestled herself into Geon’s chest, an action uncommon for an ordinary soldier and one that Geon, who quietly accepted such behavior regardless of status, found puzzling. Moreover, what surprised him the most was Geon’s gaze towards Yeonwoo. It was too deep and affectionate to be just looking at a cherished soldier. Geon’s eyes created a strange, intimate atmosphere, as if he was seeing an entirely different person.
Daebok observed the two with meaningful eyes.
The atmosphere seemed as if he were looking at an entirely different person, creating a familiar mood.
Daebok looked at the two with significant eyes.
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.”
