“Do you think the martial world is easy? Just because you think you’re stronger than your peers, do you feel like the world is under your feet?”
How would Danmokbi know if he was stronger or weaker than his peers? There was only one thing Danmokbi knew.
The pain he suffered was for the sake of summoning the deity.
‘I don’t need such power.’
“I will become strong by learning swordsmanship.”
“What? The Danmok family has been a renowned spearart house for generations. Don’t you know that?”
How could he know when no one had told him?
Danmokbi inwardly scoffed at Danmoksu, who was making a fuss even though he hadn’t done anything for him so far. Then Danmokbi took out a book from his bosom. It was the secret manual [Danmok’s First Sword] that Yeona had rescued for him.
“What is this?”
“It’s a secret manual that was hidden in my place.”
“A secret manual?”
Danmokbi looked at Danmoksu with eyes that seemed to burn.
“I can become stronger.”
And when I can stand on my own strength.
‘You will pay for everything you’ve done to me.’
Sparks flew in his dark eyes.
[This is the time separator]When Danmokchang suddenly appeared and said he had a favor to ask, I was very tense. But that tension was for nothing, as the favor was trivial.
Simply,
“Give me that corn again.”
He wanted to eat the sweet corn I had fed him.
“Oh my, there are so many delicious things in the world, and you couldn’t forget the taste of corn?”
“Is there something else tasty?”
Faced with the naive question from Danmokchang, I felt breathless. I put down the White Tiger and grabbed Danmokchang’s wrist.
“Come here. I’ll make you food.”
So we headed to the annex where Danmokbi had once stayed.
‘The place is clean even though it’s been empty. It looks like someone took good care of it.’
As I looked around the annex, I quickly rolled up my sleeves for Danmokchang, who was waiting for me like a puppy.
Fortunately, there was water and rice, so cooking was not difficult. With limited ingredients, I hastily made soybean paste soup and steamed eggs with just eggs in it.
‘It’s plain, but still.’
I opened a jar of kimchi buried in the corner of the annex, and it was perfectly fermented. I stirfried it in sesame oil, and it matched the meal.
“Eat slowly. There’s plenty.”
“Wow.”
Danmokchang was more childlike than Danmokbi. He blushed and started to eat quickly. About half a bowl later, Danmokchang’s eyes sparkled.
“I’ve never eaten anything like this before.”
“Is that so?”
Well, I wouldn’t know. Both kimchi and soybean paste soup are Korean, so I wouldn’t be surprised. I was musing sentimentally when I was frozen by Danmokchang’s next words.
“I didn’t know rice was this hot. I’ve always eaten cold rice because they said it interfered with my magic if my body got warm.”
“…….”
How has he been living all this time?
The moment I heard that, tears began to fall. I was crying silently, so Danmokchang tilted his head.
“Why are you crying again?”
“I’m just upset.”
How could I smile when I heard that warm rice was a first for him?
‘It’s all because of my careless setting.’
Thinking that way, I didn’t even have the right to cry. I wiped my eyes with my sleeve and forced a smile at Danmokchang.
“I’m sorry. And if you want something, tell me anytime. I’ll make it diligently.”
“Why are you sorry when I should be thankful?”
“Anyway.”
Danmokbi looked bewildered, tilting his head this way and that, then began to eat again with vigor.
When the simply prepared table was soon emptied, Danmokbi who had been patting his full belly, smiled widely and spoke to me.
“Ah, that’s right. Last time, when you did the healing, my wrist got completely better. It was really amazing.”
“Oh, really?”
It would have just been a placebo effect, so there probably wasn’t much difference. However, just as Danmokbi said, there was not a single red mark on his slender wrist.
‘It’s amazing.’
The scab had healed, and it seemed quite painful.
‘Could I have used the spell again?’
I wanted to ask the white tiger about the truth, but before I could speak, Danmokbi started speaking first.
“So, I wanted to ask for that again. To do the healing again.”
“Did you hurt yourself again?”
“I don’t know. Now my chest hurts all the time. It keeps stabbing.”
“Your chest?”
I frowned because it sounded serious, and Danmokbi pressed his chest hard with his palm and spoke.
“I used to tell my father when it hurt, but now he tells me not to speak of it. Since then, it continues to hurt like being pricked with a needle…….”
“…….”
“Why are you crying again?”
“……I, I don’t know what to do.”
It wasn’t real pain; it was heartache. His father, who used to dote on him, now ignored him.
Everything seemed to be my fault, and tears just streamed down.
Danmokbi tilted his head and then laughed cheerfully.
“Just heal, like last time. That’s enough.”
“If it hurts, come to me anytime.”
I firmly grabbed Danmokbi’s hand. If I don’t get back soon, Danmokbi would worry, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave.
[This is the time separator]The return journey weighed heavily on my mind, too. I asked the white tiger, who was hobbling along beside me.
“White tiger, did I do something wrong?”
The white tiger answered with a yawn.
Where’s the wrong? You didn’t abuse those kids.
“But it’s because of me. I never imagined that if one person got better, the other would be left behind. Would it have been better if I had carried the young master and run away?”
Yeona.
Since I couldn’t overcome my distress and was biting my nails, the white tiger softly called my name.
Blue eyes, like they understood everything in the world, stared straight at me.
You are still a very young child, aren’t you. Do not assert that you can do everything.
The white tiger was right. Even if I had carried Danmokbi and run away, I wouldn’t have been able to care for him well.
‘I’m terrible at farming and things like that. Without a home, we would have to live like beggars. I can’t make Danmokbi suffer like that.’
As the white tiger said, catching ingredients on the fly and feeding them was the best I could do.
I groaned and moaned when I realized this. The white tiger jumped ahead of me and spoke.
And in my opinion, I think you should worry about something else?
“What?”
What was this about? I followed the wagging tail of the white tiger and looked up. At the end of the path stood Danmokbi.
“Where have you been?”
“Oh, young master.”
What should I say? That I prepared a meal for Danmokbi because he looked so hungry?
‘If I had, it would have caused a scene. That’s why the white tiger told me to worry about something else.’
When I groaned in a different sense, Danmokbi, who had come closer step by step, touched my cheek. Then his fingers gently brushed my eyelid.
“Did you cry?”
“Ah, dust got in my eye.”
Apparently, my eyelids had been reddened because I had rubbed them so hard with my sleeve earlier.
“Yeona.”
When I smiled awkwardly and tried to push Danmokbi’s hand away, he stiffened his face.
“I can’t be angry at you. You know that, right?”
“Oh, that’s…….”
“But it’s different for someone who makes you lie.”
I was quivering and Danmokbi added with emphasis, freezing me in place.
“I won’t leave anyone alone.”
But what’s happening? The moment he said that, I suddenly became angry.
I pinched Danmokbi’s boiling cheek and yelled.
“No, young master! Why do you only say hateful things these days!”
“……?!”
Suddenly, Danmokbi, who was pinched on the cheek, was surprised and let go of my cheek. I swung my fists and yelled.
“You keep saying that you won’t leave anyone alone, that you only want to be by my side. Am I a cat that the young master is raising!”
“No, that’s not what I mean. I’m just anxious.”
“Ah, so I keep behaving, so what are you anxious about!”
It felt like a dike had broken, and the water that had been stored up until then was gushing out.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:

Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
