This world was a world divided into two.
One was the human realm, where humans had forged civilization.
The other was a dimension of forgotten stars, a world where stars lay dormant.
The stars called that place the ‘tomb.’
Six distinguished stars presided over the tomb.
But then, a dispute arose among the great stars.
Four of the stars crossed into the human realm and entered the bodies of four humans.
“But alas.”
Across from Liche, who was sitting on the bed, was a squirrel, holding its head in both hands.
At Liche’s complaint of being dazzled, it was the transformed form of a star, declaring that it would demonstrate its greatness.
He wondered why it had to be a squirrel, but since it was telling an important story, he didn’t interrupt and kept listening.
“The human realm and our world don’t match in environment. The environment.”
Humans could not accept the power of the stars.
The stars wandered in search of new bodies, and one great star that remained in the tomb pitied them.
“So that foollike fellow lends them his power?”
The squirrel struck its bushy tail against the bed repeatedly.
A great star dropped a meteorite filled with its power into the human realm from the tomb.
The power was absorbed by the earth, creating a magical forest, and a lake that appeared only when the full moon rose became the connecting place between the tomb and the human realm.
The great star used a human who had accidentally come to the lake as a vessel to give birth to Letiom, the first Letiom’s birth.
Letiom used the power within its body as a medium to wield the power of the great star.
A power that purified the side effects built up in the bodies of the humans who had accepted the other great stars.
“But the environment was crucial. What’s the use of Letiom? Those fellows couldn’t adapt to the human realm.”
The four weakened stars returned to the tomb and fell into a deep sleep.
The remaining power was inherited through the blood of humans. It was the origin of the four duke families of the Roksha Empire.
Letiom’s power was also inherited, but not through blood.
“The power that returned to the earth with Letiom roamed the land of the human realm, seeking a new vessel to give birth to Letiom. That was the problem. New Letioms were constantly being born.”
“Problem?”
“Unlike the gifted ones made directly by the stars coming to the human realm, Letiom was a result of interference from our world to the human realm.”
A being connecting the two worlds, Letiom.
Although it was created for the purification of the gifted, human bodies could not properly utilize the power of the great star.
Once Letiom had grown to a certain extent, the great star used the power in its blood to guide it to the lakeside.
While telling this story, the star grumbled to itself for a moment.
“I repeatedly told Letiom to collect the power when it came to the lake. But those gifted humans, or whatever they are, said it was pitiful.”
Every time, the great star, unable to leave the tomb, asked other stars to contract with Letiom.
So that using its power would be more convenient, in the knowledge of the existence of the tomb.
During that process, another ancillary function of Letiom was discovered.
‘The Play of the Stars.’
A star that contracted with Letiom could temporarily escape the tomb and linger in the human realm.
For the stars, who had complained of boredom in the suffocating tomb, there could be no better diversion.
It wasn’t a bad thing for Letiom, either.
With the contract, it could purify without straining its body, and it could also use some of the power of the contracting star.
However, in the repeated process of a new Letiom being born, contracting, and using the power,
“The fool strained himself.”
In the end, even the great star that had created Letiom fell into a deep sleep.
“That affected the power of that fellow in the human realm. The cycle of new Letiom’s births became longer and longer. Now, doesn’t Letiom come out at about one every hundred years?”
Liche nodded his head. The star resumed its story.
With the great star asleep, the newly born Letioms could not find the lake.
Since obscuring anything about the lake had been a promise between the past Letioms and the great star, no one, including the new Letiom, knew about the ‘contract with the stars’ or even the ‘existence of the lake.’
So that guy must have had a hard time after the Letioms were born after he fell asleep. Because he exerted his strength without making a contract with the stars. Do I feel sorry for Letiom? No. Because every time Letiom is born, his sleeping time becomes longer.
The squirrelshaped star, placing its front paws on its hips, chattered away.
“So I was gnashing my teeth in the grave, waiting. If the despicable Letiom who’s stealing the power of the fool caught my eye, I intended to eliminate it.”
“Then…….”
Liche, who had been silent so far, opened her mouth.
When purifying Deon, she said it was because the star that came into her body helped her.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
