Lv.99 Princess of Dark Flames (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 190
On the way back to Seoul.
The sun had already risen over the mountain range, and the dim sky was gradually brightening.
Si Woo, gripping the steering wheel, glanced sideways. Eun Ha, who had been sitting in the passenger seat with her chin resting on the window, gazing outside for a while, seemed to have dozed off slightly by now.
“…….”
Click—
Without a word, he turned up the heater a little more and took hold of the wheel again. A strange glint briefly passed through Si Woo’s eyes as he stared straight ahead.
He had prepared a specially made flare just in case. It was fortunate that he hadn’t needed to use it, though a slightly different incident had occurred.
When the villagers arrived wielding shovels and hoes, Eun Ha had suddenly vanished. Si Woo, wandering through the ravine in search of her, encountered Shim An and soon found her standing alone before the villagers alongside him.
Dressed as the Black Flame Princess, Eun Ha had been shielding San Gun from the villagers. Glancing sideways, Yu El looked slightly surprised—he hadn’t expected Eun Ha to go so far as to lie in order to protect them.
Si Woo felt puzzled as well, but soon understood.
‘Because senior is just that kind of person.’
She was someone who would always reach out to those in need. Si Woo knew well that there was never any calculation behind her actions.
Yu El watched him intently as he stared blankly at Eun Ha, who was seeing off the villagers with torchlight.
‘Why are you looking at her like that?’
‘Baek Rang, do you…’
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?
