Following the footsteps, there was Biyeong, sitting alone by the pond, sipping alcohol without a care in the world. Although his gaze was directed towards Sohwiyeon’s pond, his eyes conveyed emptiness, a void.
The lotus flowers that had bloomed in the summer had long been buried in the mud.
Why had he come to Sohwiyeon? It wasn’t like he could run into Yeonwoo by coming to this place. Even if he came to this location, there was no chance of meeting Yeonwoo.
Despite knowing it was a futile step, Biyeong came to Sohwiyeon.
The price of realizing his feelings too late was too pathetic.
Biyeong let out a deep sigh.
“Hoo…”
Since when? Like sunshine pouring into the shadows he had hidden, Yeonwoo entered Biyeong’s life. The darkness that had followed him due to Yeonwoo’s coldness disappeared as if washed away.
Enchanted by her warmth, he believed that the sunlight would be eternal. He thought that her brilliance would only shine on him and that her warmth was exclusively his.
Thinking that way, it was natural for Yeonwoo to be in Biyeong’s vision. He had never considered a life without Yeonwoo.
Even the rising and setting of the sun had a certain pattern.
After the intense sunlight passed, all that remained was an incredibly empty void.
Just because Yeonwoo was not there. His world was this cold without her.
He had forgotten how dark his life had been, how lonely his side had been without her.
Accustomed to the sunlight named Hong Yeonwoo, he had lived forgetting how to survive in the shadows.
She had shown him the brightness and warmth of the world.
But she hadn’t taught him how to get used to the darkness without sunlight.
She hadn’t taught him how to fill the gaping hole in his heart.
She hadn’t taught him how to survive in a life without Hong Yeonwoo.
However, she hadn’t taught how to become accustomed to darkness without sunlight.
She hadn’t shown how to fill the pierced heart.
She hadn’t guided on surviving in a life without Hong Yeonwoo.
Biyeong, holding a heavy heart, uttered a strained voice.
“Tell me. How am I supposed to live without you?”
There was no one to hear Biyeong’s lament by Sohwiyeon’s pond.
The question thrown into the air remained unanswered, dispersing hopelessly into the void.
Feeling ridiculous about his forlorn state, Biyeong let out a bitter laugh.
“Haha… What am I even doing?”
Seeing the warmth rising in his body, it seemed like he had consumed a fair amount of alcohol.
Now it was time to return, but as he took a step, he swayed, finding it difficult to regain his balance.
Getting intoxicated to the point of feeling dizzy was indeed a rare occurrence.
While stumbling out of Sohwiyeon, Biyeong turned a corner and unexpectedly collided with a man who appeared from the corner.
“!”
“Ugh!”
Normally, Biyeong wouldn’t have even blinked at such a collision, but due to the effects of alcohol, it was challenging to regain his balance, and he ended up falling backward.
It wasn’t only Biyeong who was drunk; the man who fell backward with him emitted a strong smell of alcohol.
The man, seemingly a guard, approached to support him.
“Are you hurt?”
“Let go of this! I can stand on my own!”
The man rejected the guard’s attempt to help.
However, it seemed he was too drunk, as each time he tried to stand, he couldn’t overcome his own weight and fell backward.
The guard was at a loss as he attempted to assist the man, who insisted on standing up by himself.
Eventually, Biyeong, who had shaken off his dizziness and stood up alone the night before, reluctantly extended his hand.
“The ground is cold. Please stand up.”
“…….”
Instead of taking Biyeong’s hand, the man stared at his face intently.
Just as Biyeong was about to retract his hand from the overly direct gaze, the man pretended as if he recognized him.
“Hey! Where have I seen that face?”
“Do you know me?”
The man, displaying an arrogant attitude on their first meeting, displeased Biyeong, who furrowed his brow.
The man seemed younger than Biyeong. At most, he looked like Yeonwoo’s peer.
Seeing the guard, dressed in luxurious attire similar to a high-ranking official, he resembled a young nobleman from Sedo.
Occasionally, among those who grew up in a privileged environment, some received love but lacked proper etiquette education. He thought the man might belong to a similar category.
The man, intoxicated and glaring at Biyeong with a reddened face, raised his voice as if a memory had surfaced.
“Yeah! You, the ornament of that jerk!”
“!”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
