What was clear was that his atmosphere had strangely changed.
Was the feeling of emptiness just a mood swing?
Geon neither treated Yeon-woo coldly nor warmly.
In that appearance, Yeon-woo felt a sense of emptiness, but in a way, this situation seemed natural.
The time he spent with Geon like a dream was, in a way, a burden for Yeon-woo.
Now, Geon was in a position where Yeon-woo should originally be.
‘I need to find out the subject, Hong Yeon-woo….’
Just a few months ago, the situation was not different from now.
Geon was the lord, and Yeon-woo was nothing more, nothing less than a soldier. Everything had just returned to its original place.
Yeon-woo undoubtedly chose the path for the two of them.
But why did he keep feeling regret in his heart?
When clouds began to gather in Yeon-woo’s heart, Daebok, who was passing by, saluted.
“Hey? What are you doing in front of Gwangho Army Unit’s barracks?”
“…….”
Lost in thought, Yeon-woo stared into space without responding.
“Hello, is anyone there?”
Daebok lightly tapped Yeon-woo’s head. However, Yeon-woo remained unresponsive.
“Oh, is it broken?”
When waving a hand in front of his face didn’t elicit a response, Daebok pinched Yeon-woo’s cheek this time.
Then, a large teardrop fell from Yeon-woo’s eyes.
“Ugh….”
“What’s wrong? Are you crying now?”
Wonya’s words seemed to be a trigger, and tears poured out of Yeon-woo’s eyes like chicken droppings.
“Ugh…!”
Yeon-woo, who clearly chose the path of soldier Hong Yeon-woo to find his own life, never thought that this path would entangle him like this.
Now he was starting to get confused about what path was meant for him.
He had thought he had endured well so far, but for the first time, Yeon-woo doubted the path he had chosen.
Was it impossible for him to live as an ordinary person?
As an ordinary woman, was it impossible for him to meet Geon?
Feeling sorry for his own life, he shed tears.
“Oh, hey. Don’t hit so hard! Don’t be so dramatic!”
Daebok, who didn’t know why Yeon-woo was crying, stammered in confusion.
Passing soldiers began to look in their direction.
“Don’t cry!”
“Ughhh!”
As Yeon-woo became more miserable, he started crying louder.
“I did something wrong! So stop crying!”
Still, as Yeon-woo’s crying didn’t stop, Daebok, who thought it couldn’t go on, took Yeon-woo to a quiet place.
Then, he comforted him until Yeon-woo’s crying stopped.
After pouring out tears for a long time, Yeon-woo’s sorrow also subsided.
As Yeon-woo’s crying stopped, Daebok cautiously opened his mouth.
“Hey, what happened with Gwangho Army Unit’s lord?”
Daebok saw Yeon-woo coming out of Geon’s barracks.
Since he looked dazed as if he lost his soul and started shedding tears after that, it was clear that something happened between him and Geon.
Unable to confide in Daebok about his feelings, Yeon-woo just wiped away his tears and lifted his head.
“No, it’s nothing… sniff. Nothing happened… sniff.”
“Hmm….”
Daebok made a worried sound for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“What are you doing after this is over?”
“Nothing happened…”
“I know a place that makes delicious Yukjeon. Wanna go together? My treat today!”
“I don’t feel like eating…”
Even though he loved meat, Yeon-woo refused Yukjeon. This was a serious matter.
“Don’t say that and move your butt. The lower your mood, the more you should go towards meat, isn’t there such a saying?”
“Is there such a saying? I’ve never heard of it.”
“There is. Why wouldn’t there be? This saying is from the wisdom of this Daebok.”
Yeon-woo was lost in thought for a moment.
It wouldn’t change anything even if he speculated alone.
Maybe, as Daebok said, it wouldn’t be bad to go outside and change his mood.
After training, Yeon-woo, who followed Daebok, soon regretted his choice.
Why did he follow a useless aristocrat who usually only spoke nonsense?
He thought he would know a place that makes delicious Yukjeon, but the place they actually arrived at was an absurdly inappropriate location.
When they arrived at the destination, Yeon-woo expressed his bewilderment with an absurd voice.
“Sir! Why on earth did you come here? This is not a tavern, is it?!”
“Is there a rule that you must eat Yukjeon only at a tavern? They say this place is exceptionally good at making Yukjeon!”
“Even so, is it okay? How could you bring me to a place like this?!”
“What’s wrong with this place?”
Daebok pretended to be indifferent, showing a relaxed attitude.
Seeing him like that, Yeon-woo, who had been holding back his anger, burst out.
“Well, isn’t it a brothel?!”
The place they entered with Daebok was the best brothel in Hanyang.
If it’s a brothel, isn’t it a place where only lewd men come and go?
Until just now, Yeon-woo was sitting glumly with a depressed mood, but now he was furious, and anger seemed to bubble up at any moment.
As Daebok said, it seemed like there was definitely a change in mood, and it felt like it could boil over at any moment.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
