Mir said she would pull her out after two minutes. But Lishi knew that more than two minutes had passed a long time ago.
10 minutes, 20 minutes… maybe a day or two.
It felt like being buried in an endlessly long time.
During that time, Lishi reproached herself for her foolishness.
Wanting to surprise Kei, wanting to be helpful to him, she ended up doing something reckless. Anything could be done as long as she stayed alive, but she stepped into death on her own.
She shouldn’t have done that.
It shouldn’t have been wasted like a fool, the hard-earned opportunity.
After a long time, she thought the sound coming from the darkness was a hallucination.
[Dash] Are you happy?When she heard it again, Lishi realized she had heard this voice before.
The voice she heard when she died last time, a voice like birds chirping.
“Not yet.”
Lishi said.
“It’s still not enough.”
She said, trying not to convey desperation.
“I want to be happier. This level of happiness is not what I wanted.”
A laughing sound, like the laughter of many children or the laughter of an adult woman alone, echoed.
[Dash] Don’t worry. This is not real death. The speed of time is different here.It was fascinating to be able to converse with the voice that seemed like a presence in a dream.
“Did your power bring me back to life?”
[Dash] Yes.“What on earth are you?”
[Dash] The only…“…Lis!”
The rattling sound disappeared, overlapping with a loud voice.
A compressing touch was felt on her chest. The burning pain that was fine in the darkness now returned.
“Cough! Cough!”
Lishi tried to sit up vigorously, coughing violently.
“Turn your head, Lishi.”
Mir grabbed Lishi’s chin and turned it to the side.
Lishi spewed out water with a splash.
The pain decreased a bit, but an enormous headache took its place.
“Ugh!”
When Lishi weakly raised her hand to touch her head, Mir said.
“After falling into the water, you suffer from severe headaches. Krishna, you can stop now.”
It was Krishna’s hand that was compressing Lishi’s chest at a steady pace.
Krishna’s eyes widened, as if she thought Lishi really thought she had died.
“Are you okay, Lady Iris?”
Lishi wanted to answer, but her voice didn’t come out, so she just nodded.
Then, a buzzing sound echoed again, and her head throbbed.
“Now, first, drink this.”
Mir handed a small bottle to Krishna, who carefully poured it into Lishi’s lips.
A warm energy spread, and the headache gradually subsided.
“How about now? Feeling a bit better?”
“A bit… better.”
“Good. And the results?”
“Uh. Just a moment… I need some time… still difficult…”
“Forgot that the lady is a delicate one. Anyway, it’s better to go back to the room and rest.”
When Mir got up, she did something unexpected. She hugged Lishi tightly.
Although Lishi knew it was something Mir did without much thought, she never expected to be embraced by a man, not her husband, like this.
As if sensing Lishi’s thoughts, Krishna said, “Your Grace. I’ll carry her.”
“I can’t burden a lady like you with heavy luggage.”
Heavy luggage… Lishi blamed herself, thinking she had gained too much weight lately.
“I can handle it, Your Grace.”
Krishna picked up Lishi almost forcibly.
Surprisingly, Krishna lifted Lishi without showing any signs of difficulty and walked briskly.
Since Lishi had never been embraced like this by a woman, she was more flustered than when she was embraced by Mir.
“Krishna, I can walk on my own.”
“No, Lady Iris. Just stay like this for now. Do you know how worried I was?”
While carrying Lishi, Krishna walked quickly without gasping for breath.
It occurred to Lishi that her maid might have extraordinary strength.
“Have I been awake for a long time?”
“Not really. About 5 minutes?”
Five minutes.
Lishi felt like she had stayed in the darkness for months. The loneliness felt in the space of darkness where nothing above and below could be felt was something she didn’t want to experience again.
Having separated from Mir, who had eyes to see, Lishi returned to the bedroom while being embraced by Krishna.
Krishna, who laid Lishi on the bed, said, “Don’t push yourself anymore, Lady Iris. Rest well.”
“Yes. I’m sorry for keeping you at the mansion until late because of me.”
“Don’t apologize for that. See you tomorrow. Have a good dream.”
After giving a kind smile, Krishna left the bedroom.
Erwell was waiting. The smile disappeared from Krishna’s face.
Showing a black hair she found while laying Lishi on the bed, Krishna held it out in front of Erwell’s eyes.
It was a slightly long hair, too long to be Kei’s.
“What should we do? Do you want to stay, or should I stay?”
Erwell took the hair and sniffed it, then chuckled.
“I’m not going out recklessly, Shini. I’ll move my residence here.”

Worried that the slight headache didn’t go away even when she fell asleep, Lishi felt unusually refreshed when she woke up.
Thanks to the medicine Mir gave her.
As soon as she woke up, Lishi closed her eyes and tried to feel the mana flowing in the air.
As Elde had taught her, she relaxed her body and released her soul as if she were feeling a sense of liberation…
‘What does it mean to release the soul freely? How do they all know that method?’
Suddenly, she had a question, but there was one thought that came to her mind.
In the darkness of death, Lishi existed, but there was no physical form.
‘Is that the feeling? Floating, lying down, standing, in an indescribable space?’
It seemed that her guess was correct. Trying to recall that feeling, something very faint but new was felt.
It was warm, and if touched wrongly, it seemed like it would be cold, a very strange flow.
‘Is this it?’
It was the first time she felt it in her lifetime, but she could tell it was mana.
Once she felt it, it became easier to follow that flow.
As she was about to raise her finger to touch the flow, Krishna’s voice came from outside the door.

One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
