Ayean was the loser.
Whether it was when she lost her parents in a gate incident, when she was moved to a strange orphanage due to the bankruptcy of the orphanage, or when she suffered from intense bullying by her peers, Ayean considered herself a loser.
In the end, it was all about what you were born with. Whether it was money, abilities, or family.
Those who had them without making any effort. Those who didn’t have or lost them without doing anything.
The world Ayean saw was divided into winners and losers.
One day, by a chance encounter, Ayean found herself among the ranks of the winners.
However, the ‘victory’ she easily obtained didn’t seem as sweet now in hindsight.
Then what was it that I wanted? I thought about that belatedly.
Ayean slowly opened her eyes.
“……. ”
“……. ”
Black eyes looking down at herself. In the silent stillness, Galaxy slightly pursed her lips.
“Can you get up?”
A casually extended white hand.
For a moment, Ayean had such a thought. Ah, maybe what I wanted wasn’t something big.
Ayean, who raised her upper body from the wet ground, looked around. Verde and his colleagues, and even the fierce dogs that surrounded this place like smoke, had disappeared like magic.
Ayean stared at Galaxy’s hand with a blank face and cautiously reached out to grasp it.
“You received an apology, but it might be better to report it.”
Looking at Ayean’s messy appearance, Galaxy spoke.
The apology received in a prostrate position was useless. You never knew when or how retaliation might come.
“You can’t report it.”
Splash. Ayean, squeezing her top and extracting muddy water, said.
“Especially because I might get caught.”
“What?”
Galaxy blinked as if she couldn’t understand the English. Hehe. Ayean, who smiled cutely, lightly touched the air.
[Summoning Inventory.] [ [Dash] [Dash] [Dash] Loading [Dash] [Dash] [Dash] ]Ayean, who was rummaging through an invisible inventory in Galaxy’s eyes, soon found an item.
A purple ray spread over Ayean’s palm. When looking at the color, it was probably a heroic-grade item.
Finally, the one she successfully ‘pulled out’ was─.
“Tada! I got the Witch’s Grimoire!”
Ayean extended it proudly in front of Galaxy. It was a thick book with unknown symbols drawn on the cover. Even if you didn’t know, it didn’t seem like an ordinary item.
“……Did you not steal it?”
“At first.”
“……. ”
“Why? Did you think I’d just take the beating quietly? You don’t know who I am. The principles of justice don’t match. Ouch, my knee.”
One of Ayean’s unique skills, Plunder.
It had the drawback of having a difficult activation condition and not being able to specify the item to steal, but if successful, occasionally, she could acquire decent items like this.
“By now, you must have realized that one of your items is missing, right? Tsk, that’s why you should live a little more virtuously. Don’t you think?”
Ayean stretched herself out.
Every part of her body ached, but she had obtained some good loot…
Swoosh, she turned her head to look at Galaxy. She gazed at Ayean with a somewhat bewildered expression.
“……Thank you, unnie.”
Ayean, who murmured softly, slowly raised her head to look at the sky. The clear sky reflected in her pink eyes.
The rain had stopped by now.
September 12th.
The day the much-anticipated auction opened after the two-day flea market came to an end.
During the early morning, massive booths for the auction were set up in various locations throughout the spacious park.
“Unnie! Let’s go quickly. It’s about to start.”
Hurry, hurry! Ayean urged Galaxy. As she followed along, Galaxy glanced at Ayean.
As the third-day auction was conducted anonymously, Ayean wore a cute mask shaped like Mickey Mouse.
Unlike the flea market, the auction involved a tremendous amount of coins and chips in motion. Most hunters, especially those who submitted items or won bids, were reluctant to reveal their identities.
It made sense. If I have this much money, I might as well advertise it to the whole world. There were cases where the items won at auctions were plundered by unknown individuals after the auction ended.
Therefore, hunters participating in the third-day auction considered masks essential.
Anyway, due to the mask, her face couldn’t be seen properly, but Ayean’s neck, wrists, and other visible parts were clean without a single injury. Even though she was a hunter, she had miraculously improved her appearance overnight.
[The suspicion of the cat wandering in the mud yesterday seems to match the person who rolled over clumsily. Is it the same individual?]The cat’s suspicion was reasonable. Changes occurred overnight, and it wasn’t the only thing.
“Hey, sir. Can you please lower your head? You’re blocking my sister’s view!”
At some point, Galaxy had become Ayean’s ‘sister.’
“What’s with you.”
“No, I told you to turn your head down, not away, right? My sister came to see the items, and if she misses them because of you, will you take responsibility?”
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.
