Thinking of Danmokbi, my heart fluttered, and the words White Tiger passed on the day we parted came to mind.
[Dash] We each said to go our separate ways.‘Right, that’s what happened.’
Even though I’m no longer the powerless Yeona, I haven’t contacted Danmokbi because that one sentence was painfully stuck in my heart.
‘His feelings might not be the same as mine.’
What should I do if he looks at me with cold eyes?
‘I’m scared…….’
Not wanting to think any further, I closed my eyes. Perhaps due to fatigue, sleep came in a flash.
(This is a time separator.)
Time quickly passed.
I recently had my comingofage ceremony. Since I don’t know my birthday, I decided to take the day I came to Jegalsega as my birthday.
And today was an even better day than my comingofage ceremony. That is.
“Jihoya, congratulations on your marriage!”
“Kyaa, Yeona.”
It was the wedding day of Jegal Jiho, who gladly became my friend.
I looked at Jiho, dressed in red, and dabbed the corner of my eye with my sleeve.
“When did our baby Jiho grow up and get married?”
Pretending to wipe away fake tears, Jiho shrieked at me.
“Stop talking like a grandmother! And my birthday comes before yours, you know?”
“My mental age is much higher, though.”
I pressed down on the forehead of Jiho, who was slightly shorter than me. Jiho fluttered her hand, complaining about the petal mark being erased.
I looked at Jiho, giggling at her cuteness, shook my head and sighed in admiration.
“Your partner is Jegal Buryun Orabeoni. I never even imagined.”
As his name suggests, he was a eunuch of Jegalsega. I encountered him quite often in the household, but I never dreamed they were close enough to marry.
Only when the wedding was imminent did Jiho let me in on the secret, so I poked her side with my finger, annoyed.
“How did you two date without me knowing? How did you deceive me so perfectly?”
“What’s to deceive? Everyone in the household knew. This is why they say Yeona is like a child.”
“I’m not!”
I may never have dated… but I can’t accept being called more childish than Jiho! Puffing up my cheeks, Jiho laughed and said.
“You should get married soon too. You’re a grownup now, how long will you burden your grandfather?”
“I’m not burdening him. Grandfather likes having me around.”
“Last time, he flatly complained, asking why there are no marriage talks for you.”
“Aargh.”
When did Jegal Yoon Grandfather complain? I groaned.
Looking at me, Jiho narrowed her eyes.
“Are your standards too high for anyone in the household? Or is there someone you already have in mind?”
At that question, I firmly closed my lips. Even after several years, a name came vividly to mind.
‘Danmokbi.’
‘How is Danmokbi doing? I left without a proper farewell, so I wonder if he’s feeling upset?’
Without anything to do for a moment, Danmokbi crossed my mind as usual today. Quite some time has passed since I came to Jegalsega, yet still.
Even though I deliberately tried not to listen to news from Danmoksega, I inevitably heard various tidbits. Such as Danmokbi becoming a cowherd, or that Danmoksega’s spirit is good lately.
Among them, there was no talk of Danmokbi’s marriage.
‘Could he be thinking of me?’
Unconsciously, I thought so and shook my head.
‘There might be a woman already chosen by the family, just because there’s no news. After all, Danmoksu talked about Danmokbi’s marriage.’
He acted as though he would immediately find a good match for Danmokbi once I was gone.
Thinking back, the one who read the flow of our emotions most accurately was Danmoksu. I only realized my feelings when it was embarrassingly time to part.
‘I wish he would wait for me, though.’
You know that, right, sir? I’ve been working hard to learn formations, and my strength has increased a lot. I knew I couldn’t be by your side as an ordinary servant, Yeona.
Thinking of Danmokbi, my heart fluttered, and the words White Tiger passed on the day we parted came to mind.

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
