“That’s obvious.”
Hyuljoonghyuk smiled like a devil.
“There must be information more valuable than your life. Otherwise, I might get angry and want to kill you.”
The man’s pupils trembled with fear.
Due to Danmokchang’s injury, the traveling speed was slow, but fortunately, there were no attacks during the journey. About two weeks later, we safely arrived at Danmoksega.
Sending a letter that we would soon arrive at Danmoksega, Danmoksoo, wearing magnificent clothes, came out to greet us.
“Welcome to Danmokse-ga! Hehehe!”
The clothes adorned with golden embroidery were so dazzling, to the point of looking ridiculously extravagant. The face adorned with a smile from ear to ear, revealing how sly it was; I wanted to pluck the beard off.
Danmokbi turned to the faces that came out to greet him. Then, with a stern expression, he spoke to Danmoksoo.
“It seems things have changed a lot.”
Though a brief remark, it carried a weight. However, Danmoksoo responded with a hearty laugh, as if he didn’t feel the weight of those words.
“Hehehe, many conflicts seem to have disappeared while I was touring the strongholds for a while. I quickly disciplined those who dared to act recklessly in front of people, fearing that Jegalse might behave inappropriately.”
Though he said that, the meaning was clear.
‘Danmokbi must have taken on the role of king while I was away, seeking to rescue me!’
One of the warriors standing in the corner bowed his head and apologized, “I apologize, Sogaju.”
“No need.”
It was absurd to scold the warrior for something Danmoksoo had caused himself.
Danmoksoo sighed and complained to Danmokbi, “Why? Would you kick me out in front of guests? It’s not a bad idea. I won’t give my daughter to someone as reckless as you.”
Instead of a response, Danmokbi turned his head away abruptly. Danmoksoo’s lips trembled.
Just as a dispute was about to break out between the two, Jegalmi intervened.
“What are you talking about?”
Danmoksoo responded with a smirk, “There’s a lot to talk about with my son whom I meet after a long time. But, I heard some terrible news.”
Jegalmi responded with a grim expression, “Danmoksohyeop is over there. First, call a doctor and properly examine the injuries…”
“That boy is my eldest son, Jegal Sogaju.”
Danmoksoo cut off Jegalmi’s words and continued, “He got seriously injured while protecting your daughter. Naturally, you should take responsibility, shouldn’t you?”
It was a harsh statement, even for a supposed father.
‘I should think about treating my son first, not whining about responsibility.’
Surprisingly, Jegalmi seemed to feel the same. His face momentarily turned pale, then quickly flushed with anger.
“Because Danmokse-ga neglected the guard duty, this incident occurred! And now you’re talking about responsibility to our family!”
“But Danmokse-ga didn’t provide the reason for the kidnapping.”
“What are you saying?”
Danmoksoo replied with a disdainful expression, tapping the dirt off his boots.
“There was a reason for the cult to target Jegal Sojeo, it’s not like Danmokse-ga provided the cause. So, if you say it’s solely our responsibility, it’s unfair.”
“Well, that’s a sophistry.”
Jegalmi was dumbfounded and hesitated to speak, but he couldn’t entirely deny it. The reason for the kidnapping by the cult was entirely inexplicable.
‘Jegalmi completely fell for Danmoksoo’s words.’
However, not knowing the reason could also mean that Danmokse-ga might be the cause. Even if one were to boldly accuse Danmokse-ga of colluding with the cult, it would be impossible to prove.
‘Jegal Min has such a pure character.’
It’s possible for people without shame to use others. But Jegal Min couldn’t do such a thing.
Although anger was welling up inside him, he couldn’t speak. Turning red and blue, Danmoksoo urged Jegal Min.
It was the moment when Jegal Min glanced sharply at Danmoksoo. Danmoksoo confidently drove the point home.
“Calling it a responsibility might sound grand, but there’s no need to overreact. Since negotiations are underway, it means we should consider it positively.”
Jegal Min’s sharp gaze fell on Danmoksoo. Danmoksoo remained steadfast.
“That’s a responsibility anyone should naturally have as a human being.”
‘As expected, Danmoksoo is a bad person.’
Guided to the lodgings, I bravely unpacked my belongings.
After teasing Jegal Min like that, Danmoksoo turned away without even looking at Danmokjang.
‘Truly, Danmokjang seemed useless in his eyes.’
Even such a father clung to Danmokjang, making it pitiable. If subjected to such mistreatment for several years, even I would become as powerless as a limp cactus.
‘Danmokjang has to somehow get away from Danmoksoo. At this rate, similar abusive situations will continue.’
But how on earth could Danmokjang be separated from Danmoksoo?
No matter how much I thought about it, a clear solution didn’t come to mind.
Feeling frustrated, I thought I should get some fresh air. While thinking about it, I walked briskly.
The garden outside was not much different from when I stayed in Danmokse-ga.
‘Whether Danmokbi wanted it to remain the same or simply had no intention of changing it.’
As I walked through the familiar garden, various memories of my time here came flooding back.
It was when I stumbled upon the paper doll sent by Blood Middle Hyuk, and the memory of seeing the stone doll placed in a corner of the garden.
‘Blood Middle Hyuk said he would send me back to the original world. He wanted me to fix it to a world favorable to him.’
How did he come up with such an idea? The religion called Blood Cult was truly remarkable.
But to me, it was quite an appealing proposition.
‘Then, Danmokse-ga should have changed the structure of the story from the beginning.’
By doing that, a world where no one is unhappy could be created. The twins of Danmokga would get along well, and the ruler of Danmokse-ga would be a just and dignified person.
As I was contemplating such a story, a sudden thought crossed my mind.
‘But is that really Danmokbi?’
Right at that moment, a familiar piece of clothing slid through the bushes like a shadow, disappearing. I raised my head abruptly.
“Young master?”
I was sure it was Danmokbi, even though all I saw was the edge of her clothing. Without realizing it, I ran towards the disappearing fabric and shouted loudly,
“Where are you going!”
Upon hearing that, the fabric that was vanishing without a trace suddenly stopped. Then, lowering her eyes, a beautiful but somewhat sulky face looked at me. It was indeed Danmokbi.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
