Shin Sokyung’s eyes widened at my words. Dang Hwaryeong, who was watching the situation from the side, was the same.
“Lin, your father?”
Shin Sokyung and Dang Hwaryeong would also know. No, there was almost no one among the martial artists who didn’t know who my father was.
My father, Nam Gung Hyun.
The Blue Dragon Swordsman who disappeared 18 years ago.
Shin Sokyung and Dang Hwaryeong closed their mouths.
They seemed to have difficulty speaking easily.
“I can’t say the details, but… please take care of his treatment.”
The reason I brought Shin Sokyung and Dang Hwaryeong was for this moment.
Shin Sokyung nodded her head with a determined face.
“I’ll try my best. First, I think we need to treat the large visible external injuries.”
“I also have knowledge about poisons, so I’ll examine him well.”
I nodded slightly.
I felt fortunate to have many people who could help me.
[This is the timeline separator]This was a dream.
Nam Gung Hyun knew he was dreaming.
After being afflicted with Godeok, he often had dreams. They were mostly dreams about his wife and daughter.
His wife was caressing her belly. Her face was pale.
His wife knew.
If she gave birth to Nam Gung Lin with her weak body, she would face death. What did he say to her as he looked at her?
“Don’t worry. I will definitely protect you.”
It was the last promise he made to his wife. Nam Gung Hyun had an obligation to keep that promise.
The scenery changed.
There was a child in front of his eyes. A child with a cute braided hair was crying.
Nam Gung Hyun asked the child.
“Why are you crying?”
Then the child raised her head. Nam Gung Hyun’s heart ached at the child’s face.
“Because it’s cold…”
“…”
“I’m hungry and cold.”
Nam Gung Hyun tried to go and hug the child. He intended to give her delicious food and warm her cold body.
However, how?
In an instant, he saw the child moving farther away.
Nam Gung Hyun ran to catch the child, but he couldn’t reach her at all.
[This is the timeline separator]Nam Gung Hyun’s eyes slowly opened.
Thump thump, his heart was racing.
‘It was a terrible nightmare.’
He carefully raised his hand. His body moved. Nam Gung Hyun could tell that he had woken up from the nightmare.
He slowly turned his gaze to the side. A small woman was lying next to him.
‘Who is she…?’
The sight of the exhausted woman was unfamiliar yet welcome.
With mixed, strange emotions, he slowly blinked his eyes.
Nam Gung Hyun carefully moved his hand.
The slowly moving hand felt unfamiliar.
His body was moving according to his will. That meant…
It meant he was given freedom. His heart raced.
‘How did this happen?’
His mind was hazy as if enveloped in fog. Nam Gung Hyun slowly raised his body.
‘Where is this place, and who on earth is this woman?’
How much time had passed? Nam Gung Hyun grabbed his head.
He didn’t feel pain.
It was strange. He always suffered tremendous pain when he didn’t follow Godeok’s orders…
Nam Gung Hyun tried to get up.
That’s when it happened.
The woman opened her eyes.
Their eyes met.
Nam Gung Hyun asked, flustered.
“Do you happen to know where this place is?”
“This place is… near Mount Jeun.”
Mount Jeun!
It was a relatively close place to the Nam Gung Clan. Nam Gung Hyun raised his upper body.
“Ugh!”
Nam Gung Hyun shuddered at the sudden pain he felt.
Come to think of it, his physical condition wasn’t normal. He looked down at his hands.
He saw hands that were somewhat wrinkled compared to before.
‘A long time has passed.’
With his sharp mind, he could grasp the situation at once.
For some unknown reason, a long time had passed and he was freed from Godeok. Then, what happened to his daughter…?
“You shouldn’t get up.”
“But I have a place I must go.”
“Where are you in such a hurry to go?”
“I need to see my daughter.”
Nam Gung Hyun said that and hardened his lips. At his words, tears welled up in the woman’s eyes.
At that moment, he was reminded of the child he saw in his dream.
It was strange.
Meeting someone he saw in a dream in reality?
‘Is that possible?’
If the child in the dream grew up, she would look just like the woman in front of him.
He began to observe the woman in detail. The woman in front of him resembled his deceased wife.
Realizing that fact, Nam Gung Hyun’s body froze on the spot.
“Was it the young lady who saved me?”
The woman didn’t answer.
Instead, she began to shed tears. Nam Gung Hyun unconsciously reached out and wiped away the woman’s tears.
“It took too long.”
“…”
“I’m sorry, I should have found you sooner.”
Nam Gung Hyun didn’t understand the woman’s words.
But he was unconsciously patting the woman’s back.
It felt like an illusion of doing for the woman what he couldn’t do for the child in the dream.
Then the woman crumpled her face like a child.
The woman grabbed his hand and buried her face in it. Then she began to tell the story.
[This is the timeline separator]I told my awakened father everything.
That a lot of time had passed and the current situation of the Nam Gung Clan.
And how I rescued him. Father waited for me to finish speaking without saying a word.
Actually, I wanted to act a little more spoiled.
‘But the one who must be most confused right now is Father.’
With 18 years suddenly passing, how shocked he must be.
[His face is calm for that to be the case.]Sir Dagger was right.
Father showed no signs of being shaken by my words.
“I’m sorry.”
At Father’s words, I froze on the spot. I didn’t know what to say in response.
‘I imagined it dozens of times…’
I often imagined meeting Father.
When I had a hard time as a child, I got through the day by imagining it.
When I actually tried to put it into action, my body wouldn’t move as if paralyzed.
“I should have found you sooner…”
I had to say it wasn’t Father’s fault. But the words wouldn’t come out.
The tears that had stopped started flowing again.
‘I tried to hold back…’
Because Father was also having a hard time, I tried not to cry. Knowing how much he had suffered.
But then I heard Sir Dagger’s warm voice in my ear.
[It’s okay to cry.]‘But…’
Nam Gung Hyun Jong always taught me not to cry.
He said that even if I cried, there would be no one to comfort me.
But Father patted my back. As if telling me to cry comfortably…
I grabbed Father’s hand and burst into tears like a child.
[This is the timeline separator]Nam Gung Jin Cheon stared at the letter in front of him with a stiff face.
Nam Gung So So was looking at Nam Gung Jin Cheon with a tense expression.
And next to her, Yak Ran was sitting with a gloomy face.
[I’ll be back soon. Please don’t move until I return.]Yak Ran had her head bowed in front of him. Nam Gung Jin Cheon slowly got up.
“The young lady has always been a thoughtful person.”
“Yes, to the extent that it’s hard to believe she’s a child.”
“She was someone who moved with a reason. What could have been her reason this time?”
Nam Gung Jin Cheon’s face hardened. Nam Gung Lin had left Yak Ran behind and escaped from the Nam Gung Clan.
Yak Ran was one of his shadows. He had her stay by Nam Gung Lin’s side since childhood to prevent her from doing dangerous things.
But Yak Ran didn’t sense Nam Gung Lin’s presence.
It meant that Nam Gung Lin noticed Yak Ran’s existence and left secretly.
“If Lin went to see the Bloodletter…”
Yak Ran’s face turned pale.
Nam Gung So So, who was listening to their conversation, was the same.
“That child is clever. I also heard the news that the Bloodletter of the Blood Cult appeared. If this letter is also meant to prevent me from moving…”
Nam Gung So So staggered as if in shock.
“If Father moves, the Bloodletter will also escape…”
It was something she had also suspected, but it was hard to think that Nam Gung Lin had directly gone to see the Bloodletter.
The Nam Gung Lin she knew was a child who moved only when she had conviction.
Nam Gung So So looked at Nam Gung Jin Cheon and asked.
“It can’t be… Lin couldn’t have had such an arrogant thought. She wouldn’t have decided to face the Bloodletter alone after tying Father’s feet, right?”
“…”
“We need to mobilize the clan’s warriors right now…!”
That’s when it happened.
A servant of the clan screamed.
“C-Clan Leader!”
Nam Gung So So looked at the servant and asked.
“What is this commotion?”
The servant’s face was as pale as if he had seen a ghost.
He opened his mouth with a trembling voice.
“They… they have returned.”
“Lin, has Lin returned?”
“Y-Yes! The young lady has also returned.”
Nam Gung So So frowned. She felt puzzled by the servant’s words.
“The young lady has also returned, do you mean Lin’s close friends?”
“No! Lord Hyun, Lord Hyun has returned.”
Nam Gung So So’s eyes widened. She stood up from her seat.
Clang!
A sound echoed from the sword in Nam Gung Jin Cheon’s quarters.
It was responding to Nam Gung Jin Cheon’s energy. Nam Gung Jin Cheon slowly got up.
Nam Gung Jin Cheon’s face was expressionless, but Nam Gung So So could immediately tell what state he was in.
‘Father is surprised…’
The brow of Nam Gung Jin Cheon, who rarely showed emotional disturbance, was twitching.
“What do you mean Hyun has returned?”
“It’s just as I said. Young Lady Lin defeated the Bloodletter and returned with Lord Hyun!”
Nam Gung Jin Cheon’s body froze.
His son, whom he thought was dead, had returned alive.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
