Lv.99 Princess of Dark Flames (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165
Lee Jun was an S-rank Hunter. Thus, had he truly set his mind to it, he might have been able to defeat “that thing.”
Yet in the end, Lee Jun fled from “that thing.” He lacked not only the confidence to win but even the courage to attack.
Later, he learned that “that thing” was the “Black Flame Princess” from Korean Hunter urban legends. More shocking than the fact that he had actually seen a creature from those legends was that “that thing” bore an uncanny resemblance to Eun Ha.
Could it be a type of monster? But the place where Lee Jun encountered “that thing” wasn’t a Gate. Moreover, there was no report of a nearby Gate going berserk or monsters spilling out as a result.
“Could it… really have been Eun Ha?”
It might have been a mad thought, but at the time, Lee Jun hoped so desperately for Eun Ha’s survival that he couldn’t help overlapping “that thing” with her.
After returning to the United States, as if bewitched by something, he began researching the legend in detail.
Searching online, he found quite a few people who claimed to have seen “that thing.” However, it was impossible to tell where the truth ended and fiction began—because, by definition, it truly was just an “urban legend.”
Through persistent inquiries, Lee Jun eventually located several witnesses who claimed to have seen the Black Flame Princess, and he unofficially returned to Korea once again to meet them.
He even tracked down the exact location where the Black Flame Princess had been encountered and confronted “that thing” once more.
“Eun Ha, it’s me—Baek Lee Jun…! Don’t you recognize me? Please.”
But the outcome remained unchanged.
“That thing” ultimately wasn’t Eun Ha, and Lee Jun ultimately failed to bring it down.
His resolve to destroy with his own hands that repulsive monster wearing Eun Ha’s face always vanished like smoke the moment he faced that uncannily familiar visage.
Eventually, Lee Jun decided to turn his attention elsewhere—to search for traces of the real Eun Ha instead of chasing after “that thing.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”

I think Si Woo is going to struggle against this guy.
It said ‘enemies’ not monsters…perhaps the villagers are under the scorpions control and considered ‘enemies’
Is this the same ‘mutant’ that the scorpion mentioned? Do those ‘strange markings’ hide something sinister?
