Kim Taeseok had been stalking her for days. And the moment she was separated from Geon, he attacked her.
There was no guarantee that he wouldn’t try again, so it was indeed safer to have Geon by her side.
“But you must be busy… I can’t make your work more troublesome because of me.”
“It’s something I do for the one I like. How can you say it’s troublesome?”
“!”
Ignoring Yeonwoo’s diplomatic refusal, Geon responded firmly.
Yeonwoo, whose face had turned red at Geon’s words, struggled to calm her pounding heart.
Then she cautiously asked a question.
“… What does it mean to do something for the one you like?”
Since he had called Yeonwoo his person, she thought he might mean that he liked her as his woman.
But in the depths of her heart, she felt it might not be that meaning.
“Give me a homework.”
Geon placed his hand on Yeonwoo’s head and said, “Think carefully about what that means until I come back.”
With those words, Geon, who mounted the black horse, left.
Unable to comprehend Geon’s words, Yeonwoo just blankly stared at his departing figure.
After finishing the training, Yeonwoo sat down anywhere on the training ground.
She couldn’t concentrate on training at all because of the homework Geon gave her.
I know that you’re not Yeonho’s lover.
I kissed you because you’re Hong Yeonwoo.
It’s something I do for the one I like. How can you say it’s troublesome?
The reason for the kiss wasn’t because of Yeonho.
He said it wasn’t because of Yeonho that he kissed her.
Then there was only one answer to Geon’s recent actions.
‘Is it because Naru likes me…?’
Thinking about it, Yeonwoo’s heart started beating rapidly again, but at the same time, her mind felt dizzy.
She had said she liked Yeonho, so what could be the reason for changing her mind now?
If it’s true that Naru likes Private Yeonwoo, is it because she likes a man?
But Yeonwoo was a woman who behaved like a man.
Since she couldn’t fulfill Geon’s expectations of liking a man, she couldn’t respond to his feelings.
Yeonwoo felt conflicted about whether to be happy or sad about the fact that Geon liked her.
In this situation where nothing could be done, Yeonwoo let out a deep sigh.
“Haa…”
“Haa…”
Simultaneously, sounds of sighs were heard.
When she turned her head toward the sound, she met the gloomy faces of Daebok and Choa.
Although Choa had heard that Daebok’s recovery was unbelievably fast, the Daebok facing her now looked like someone on the verge of death.
“Why are you sighing so heavily?”
“Me? Did I sigh?”
“Yes. It was earth-shattering.”
When Yeonwoo asked, Choa passed by with a basket of herbs.
“Oh, hello. Yeonwoo nari.”
“Hello, Miss Choa.”
Greeting Yeonwoo warmly, Choa, upon seeing Daebok, changed her expression.
Then, after glancing at Daebok, she stiffened her face and went straight on her way.
Yeonwoo could immediately guess what Daebok’s worries were.
“Brother. Did you do something wrong to Miss Choa?”
“How did you know it was because of Miss Choa? No, rather than that, I haven’t said anything yet. Why am I already being treated as if I did something wrong?”
“It’s obvious. What did you do?”
To Yeonwoo’s question, Daebok made a truly unjust expression.
“I don’t know! I’m the same as usual! But suddenly, whenever she sees me, it’s like a cold winter wind blowing by. She doesn’t even talk to me.”
“Could it be because of something you did? Don’t you have any ideas?”
“I don’t! I’m not any different from usual! But suddenly, she’s avoiding me as if I’m a freezing winter day. She doesn’t even talk to me.”
“Could it be because of something you did? Don’t you have any ideas?”
“I don’t!”
With a face like a dog caught in the rain, Daebok whimpered.
Just a few days ago, the two seemed to be in a good mood, but what happened in just a few days?
Unable to simply watch her older brother suffer, Yeonwoo stood up.
“Leave it to me. I’ll talk to Miss Choa and come back.”
“Ugh… Please!”
A woman’s heart is something a woman knows better. Yeonwoo moved to the medical office with the intention of peering into Choa’s inner thoughts.
“Miss Choa, are you here?”
“Oh! Welcome, pretty sister!”
As they entered the medical office, Sooah rushed out, greeting Yeonwoo cheerfully. After seeing her a few times, she didn’t bother hiding her face anymore.
“How’s life in the Gwangho Army?”
“It’s great because I get to see people and be with my sister every day!”
Seeing Sooah’s bright face, it seemed she was doing well. Choa, who was sorting herbs, also smiled warmly as if she were genuinely pleased to see Yeonwoo.
“It’s nice to see you again, Yeonwoo nari.”
“I hope I’m not disturbing you while you’re busy.”
“It’s okay. I’m almost done with work.”
Choa’s attitude towards Yeonwoo was noticeably different from her attitude towards Daebok.
“Are you adapting well to army life? Is there anything uncomfortable?”
“Yes, thanks to you.”
While exchanging updates, Yeonwoo cautiously opened her mouth.
“I have something to ask…”
“What are you curious about?”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
