As I answered, the Grand Minister set the plate he was holding on the table. The plate held what seemed like deliberately prepared dried persimmons.

But by now, I was convinced that he hadn’t called me to scold me, which had earlier scared me. Who scolds before serving tea and snacks?

‘After all, if a 12yearold is surrounded by adults over 20, anyone would first take the child out to see.’

Meanwhile, the Grand Minister, sitting across, stared at me intently. Pretending not to notice, I lowered my eyes and took a sip of tea. It was slightly bitter but not to the level of medicinal tea, so I could swallow it.

But unknowingly, my eyebrows slightly frowned, and the Grand Minister pushed the plate of dried persimmons towards me, smiling as if he had been waiting for this.

“Thank you.”

“Yes, eat a lot. Growing taller from drinking that tea is real. To use a sword, it’s good to be somewhat tall.”

What did he put in it, to keep saying it makes you tall?

Anyway, for a while, we just drank tea without much conversation. It seemed like he had called me because he had something to say, but it seemed that he wanted me to eat all this first.

The Grand Minister spoke when the teacup was half empty.

“So, Ha Hyun.”

“Yes.”

“I have sorted out the matter with your senior brothers earlier, for now.”

I raised my head to meet the Grand Minister’s eyes. He continued with an expressionless face.

“But this issue isn’t completely resolved. Most children your age wouldn’t understand what I’m saying, but I think you will.”

He was right. As soon as I heard it, I thought I knew what he meant. I swallowed a sigh inwardly.

“Yes. But I think it was inevitable.”

“What do you think was inevitable, from where to where?”

I selected my words carefully for a moment. I even thought that I might be speaking too maturely, but judging from his words earlier, the Grand Minister had already understood a lot about me.

‘Though he may not know that I’m an adult who lived in another world and suddenly possessed someone else’s body.’

Still, that I spoke and thought a little differently from ordinary children my age would be apparent to anyone who had conversed with me for a while, not just to the Grand Minister.

I finished my thought and answered slowly.

“While the volcano is called a Taoist hall, those gathered here are human before they are Taoists. To envy others who seem luckier than oneself is, in fact, natural for humans. My senior brothers who summoned me have been admitted through a fair examination. But I just caught the eye of my master by luck and did not even take a separate examination to receive the Taoist title, so even if they find it unfair, there’s nothing to say.”

The Grand Minister quietly clicked his tongue after listening to me.

“You talk like an adult.”

Did I go too far? I added, pretending to grumble.

“I heard you liked that about me.”

“Well, I did. Otherwise, the jade talisman would have been given to you only after you became an adult.”

I was momentarily stunned at that.

‘Wasn’t it because I wasn’t childlike that he gave it and liked it?’

His words that it would have been given even if I were an adult mean that he would have given it whenever.
Seeing that my eyes were wide open, the ambassador slightly tilted his head and added an explanation.

“Originally, the jade bead was not usually fed to young children like you.”

“……Is that so?”

“It’s because the nature is cold, so if you don’t maintain composure right after eating it, it becomes dangerous. However, I thought it would be alright to give it to you early since your eyes looked calm. You even made eye contact with me and were fine, and you are still well in front of me now. There were not many like that. Moreover, eating it when you’re young is even more effective.”

I fell silent, at a loss for words. My head was spinning.

So, it was a misunderstanding?

‘Was it actually me who was harboring all kinds of prejudices just because I remember the original work?’

I was thinking, ‘This person must dislike me the most,’ as if I knew very well, but if what he said is true, I was simply judging someone who extended goodwill on my own.

I struggled to find something to say, then stuttered as I opened my mouth.

“That’s how it was. Come to think of it, I didn’t manage to thank you. Thank you.”

“It’s fine.”

Watching the ambassador wave his hand, I inwardly lamented the pettiness I had newly discovered in myself. I’m not sure if my expression was alright. If no one was around, I would have hit the floor a few times by myself.

Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)

One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.

Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

※※※

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

Three days later, neither of them had woken up.

Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.

Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.

The entire internet was in an uproar.

After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

※※※

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.

Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”

“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”

Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”

Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”

At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.

[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]

①Male pregnancy (highlighted)

The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
