Hyuljunghyuk frowned. Then, he inquired about the Danmok spear he brought from the sacred mountain with Danmoksu.
“What about that son of a b****?”
The reason for such a question was that he didn’t even know the name of the Danmok spear. And even now, in this awkward situation where he had to refer to it without knowing the name, he didn’t feel the need to remember the name.
“I don’t need to remember the name of a stupid idiot who doesn’t even know what I want.”
Hyuljunghyuk was always self-centered.
Sooha reported on the current situation to Hyuljunghyuk, groveling like a fly, emphasizing that the task had already been completed. However, he expressed discomfort in a different way. The man had a dead-eyed look, making it awkward to engage in conversation.
Hyuljunghyuk snorted at Sooha’s words.
“He’s completely different from my father. Well, if they were the same being, they couldn’t coexist. If it were me, I would have killed my father sooner.”
Hyuljunghyuk considered people like Danmoksu to be a menace to society, even though he himself was a villain. He thought that people like Danmoksu were no better than parasites, exploiting others.
‘I wonder how a guy like Danmokbi was born under such a scumbag.’
Thinking of Danmokbi, my teeth gritted again. In my excitement, I ended up tearing apart the only paper doll connected to Jegalyeon and me.
‘But it won’t move in vain. Even though there’s no more paper doll watching her, she believes it exists.’
Hyuljunghyuk twisted his lips and smiled. If he could create a rift in their love, he thought it would be worth paying any price.
While he was scheming alone and laughing slyly, it happened. Feeling someone’s gaze, he turned his head, and there, a cat bound by a perennial iron chain was glaring at Hyuljunghyuk with yellow eyes. It was none other than Baekho.
Hyuljunghyuk smirked and approached Baekho.
“Why are you looking at me like that, cat?”
Why look like that? Baekho, having a bad temper, turned its head quickly. Although I wanted to scratch the guy’s face with my claws, it was better not to provoke him unnecessarily while he couldn’t escape.
Seeing Baekho, Sooha frowned and said.
“That cat somehow makes me uncomfortable. Can I say its gaze is different from other cats?”
Since Hyuljunghyuk had no intention of caring for Baekho himself, it was the responsibility of his subordinates to take care of him. However, the common opinion among his subordinates was that Baekho didn’t seem like an ordinary cat.
Hyuljunghyuk chuckled at Sooha’s words.
“Yeah, it follows me fearlessly all the way to the sacred mountain. It doesn’t even eat raw fish.”
“If it’s a cat, it should go crazy for raw fish.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
Afraid that his true identity might be exposed, Baekho flinched. However, this concern was mainly due to Hyuljunghyuk’s lack of understanding.
He was generally indifferent to anything outside his area of interest. If Baekho wasn’t Jegalyeon’s cat, he probably wouldn’t have bothered to recognize it.
Hyuljunghyuk laughed while stroking Baekho’s small head with his palm.
“I want to bring that woman as soon as possible.”
Baekho, suppressing the desire to bite Hyuljunghyuk’s hand, rested its head on its front paw. At that moment, a dense energy flowed from Hyuljunghyuk’s body, making Baekho’s fur stand on end.
Revealing his white teeth, Hyuljunghyuk laughed fiercely.
“Of course, I want to tear apart the hands that touched her right in front of her eyes. I’m already looking forward to how she’ll cry in what voice. Wouldn’t it be nice to hear her begging not to do it?”
If you truly love someone, you should cherish and treat them well. It’s strange to get excited about making them cry.
‘I’m stuck with a crazy guy, Yeona.’
Baekho muttered with a deep sigh.
In my sudden fright, Danmokbi embraced me without saying anything more. It seemed as if he was waiting for me to reassure myself. That sight, in a different sense, touched my heart.
‘He really has become an adult.’
He was no longer the Danmokbi who could hardly survive without my protection and care. Now he had become an adult who could support me like a wide paulownia tree and lift me up.
‘What should I do? It keeps getting better.’
And the more I knew about him, the more my affection for Danmokbi spread. Even now, I thought there couldn’t be anything better than this.
While fidgeting with my fingers in Danmokbi’s arms, I slowly raised my head.
“Why don’t you ask what’s going on?”
In response to my question, Danmokbi gently brushed my hair behind my ear and answered in a gentle tone.
“I didn’t ask because it seems like you’re not ready to answer.”
“Can you tell just by looking at my face?”
“I know everything about you.”
Seeing him confidently assert without a second thought, a corner of my heart felt a pang.
I couldn’t say anything, just blinking and looking at him. When I was frozen like that, Danmokbi, with a voice as gentle as his touch, whispered.
“Something seems to be bothering you, right?”
“Yes. But I don’t know how to explain.”
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.”
