The corners of the man’s eyes, reminiscent of a cat, flickered with red pupils.
As he tilted his head, his long white hair gracefully spilled over the wooden table.
He was a man of striking appearance, incongruous with the worn counter.
“Are you the owner?”
“Yes.”
The answer was faithful, but suspicious.
No other shop was to be found, no matter how one looked.
I took out the card I received from HaYang and asked,
“What do you sell here?”
“The menu is here.”
He smiled and offered a wooden plank. Written on it was the list of items for sale.
[Unlimited Purchase] Card 1 piece / Stock: 5 [Key to Open the Door] Card 1 piece / Stock: 1 [Trace Eraser] Card 1 piece / Stock: 1 [Random Box] Card 1 piece / Stock: 1“Stock is always fluctuating.”
Even with his explanation, I couldn’t discern what he sold.
‘Unlimited Purchase? What is this…’
Suddenly, words appeared before my eyes.
[Unlimited Purchase]Do you want to acquire items infinitely?
Unlimited purchase is available here.
Enjoy three specified items limitlessly!
‘What is this system window?’
It was as if I were in a game.
The shop was old, but the description was absurdly modern.
‘I need this most right now.’
Stocking up was essential for crafting essentials.
Though HaYang had gifted me a box, it was only enough for chocolate or rice wine.
‘Should I buy just one for now?’
I had only three cards, and buying all at once seemed risky.
I handed him one card.
“One Unlimited Purchase, please.”
“Card received.”
It felt like conversing with a supermarket cashier.
The card he took turned into a yellow light and disappeared.
A moment later, the man bent down and placed an item on the counter.
“Unlimited Purchase is out.”
“This is… a sticker?”
What he offered was a grapeshaped ‘Well Done’ sticker.
As I examined the sticker with suspicion, the man faintly smiled.
“Stick it on an item in the supermarket, and you can have it infinitely.”
“Ah.”
A magic sticker, perhaps?
If this is a scam, the one fooled before me would be HaYang.
“Do you work here all the time?”
Though I received the item, it was awkward to just leave.
More than anything, I was curious about the man alone in this foggy place.
Just as I tried to make small talk, he stepped away from the counter.
“I’m not open for hunting.”
“I’m not hunting.”
How could he interpret a simple question like that?
Though I glared at him in disbelief, he remained unfazed.
“As far as I know, five men are already infatuated with you.”
“Five? What are you talking about?”
The only one I’d ensnared was Cassard.
‘Could he mean the royals?’
In that case, Cassard and his twin, Mikael.
That made four.
‘Who’s the fifth?’
Valentide, the hapless crown prince? I hoped not.
‘I don’t know. He must be talking nonsense.’
It was wise not to ponder the undesirable.
The man who had been watching me chuckled softly.
“You’re the most charming among the customers I’ve seen. Adaptable and enchanting.”
For some reason, it felt like being solicited by a bartender.
But, ‘customers’?
“Wait, has someone else been here before me?”
They must be other reincarnators.
If true, there was a high chance I was following the same path as previous reincarnators.
“The shop is closing. Goodbye, Reincarnator.”
He gripped the shutter.
Before it closed completely, I thrust my arm under it.
“Hold on!”
His hand paused.
I asked hastily,
“Where are those people now?”
It was the most crucial question for me at the moment.
If there was a time limit to this world?
What would happen to me if it had an inevitable end?
He pushed my hand away from the gap.
“Wait…!”
Beyond the tiny hole, I saw the twinkle in his eyes.
“Everyone has gone where they wished.”
The shutter fully closed.
The faint light in the fog went out, and the door I had entered through swung wide open.
It was a perfect sealing spell.
I stood there, staring at the dark hole of a shop for quite some time.
(Let this be the time separator.)
Late at night.
I was tossing and turning alone in bed.
“What would be a good business item?”
A grapeshaped sticker was in my hand.
It had been bothering me for days.
Depending on where I stick this, the course of the business would be determined.
“What’s something popular, something everyone can use?”
And yet, it has to be innovative.
There’s nothing ordinary about goods from the other world.
It’s just difficult when asked to pick only three items that have the most impact.
“And that man.”
The words of the handsome man who managed the holeinthewall shop continued to circle in my mind.
“He said he’s where he wants to be. Does that mean he’s gone back to the original world?”
I was deep in thought when Kashar, who seemed to have just finished showering, walked up to me in a robe.
His gaze lingered on the sticker in my hand.
“What are you up to?”
“Nothing!”
I flipped the sticker onto the table.
My gaze had already fixated on the opening of his robe, on his chest.
“Why would I go anywhere when I have such a handsome fiancé?”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
