“I didn’t expect that.”
Kashaar thought I knew nothing.
So, he never anticipated that I would worry and be anxious just like him.
“It must have seemed very suspicious.”
Especially if he had been suspecting from the beginning.
Now I understood why he had been so obsessed with me and had been anxious.
“Even earlier.”
Whether it was real or fake, I didn’t see my finger disappear.
From his perspective, it could only mean that I was disappearing.
“I thought you were too vague even with Hayan.”
If he perceived me as an enemy, it was understandable. After all, he didn’t know who would make me disappear.
So, there was only one thing I had to say now.
“…I’m sorry. But! I never had any intention of disappearing! Everything I’ve done so far was to settle down in this world!”
“This world?”
Oops.
I stopped my defense and glanced at Du Nuar.
Since he seemed to be able to peer into the souls of others, if anything happened to Kashaar’s body, he could immediately confirm it.
Whether he noticed my feelings or not, Du Nuar slowly raised his head.
“Your mate, whatever you say, won’t be affected. Except for words like leaving or breaking up.”
Kashaar’s eyebrows twitched at his words.
Kashaar seemed uncomfortable, but I felt rather relieved.
“It means you can say anything.”
What he knew was that I possessed the dragon’s magic.
And that one day, I might suddenly disappear.
“It was difficult for me, too, to hold back.”
Now that we could understand each other, I planned to let everything out for the sake of what lay ahead.
That I was a being from another world, the fate and ending of this world.
And everything, including the fact that you play a crucial role.
“To stay here, you have to fulfill three of Du Nuar’s requests.”
That was the condition for not disappearing.
Kashaar seemed lost in thought to understand what I said.
At that moment, a gentle voice intervened between us.
“The biggest problem in this world is that there is no circulation. Because there is an ending.”
The protagonist achieved world peace and lived happily.
That was the ending of the novel.
But.
“…What comes next?”
I had never imagined what would happen after the ending.
When my face showed that I realized something, Du Nuar spoke.
“When this world reaches the predetermined ending, it goes back to the beginning.”
“The beginning?”
“Before the original work began, to a time when there was nothing in the world but darkness and magic.”
He was talking about the world of the primordial era.
‘No, even if it resets, it goes too far back?!’
Even if the world repeated, this was crossing the line.
‘Then, Du Nuar…’
He was the only one who knew the law of the reset.
The eternal time from the birth of the world to the arrival of the ending. The dragon, remembering the same life, had been living through dozens, perhaps hundreds of repetitions.
“I invited beings from another world to this world to interfere with the ending.”
To change the stagnant world, new influx was needed.
He manipulated the history of the world little by little through the beings from another world.
However, that could only delay the ending, not completely change it.
“At first, designating beings from another world was also impossible.”
“So, it was random?”
“It wasn’t just within the Liheart Empire but targeted the entire continent.”
Du Nuar seemed to have gone through a more meticulous regression than I thought.
“Still, after several repetitions, magic accumulated, allowing me to impose possession on beings closer to Liheart.”
“…That’s fortunate.”
I didn’t know what was fortunate, but seeing Du Nuar satisfied with just that expression, I couldn’t press further.
“Wait, wait. What about the timeline? The original work I know was created recently.”
The novel was completed a month before I was possessed here.
So, even if it hadn’t been a year, the person who was possessed just before me, whether it was Kim Bokja or Kim Malsuk, was too ancient.
“The timeline got messed up. Because the two sides are different worlds.”
“Really… Was the time to call souls also random?”
He nodded.
Suddenly, Du Nuar looked pitiful… No, he seemed excessively amazing.
“The deeper the connection with the protagonist, and the higher the likelihood of the possessed knowing the original work, the more significant magic was required.”
Du Nuar called the possessed, gathered magic by repeating regressions to change the world.
As a result, he succeeded in approaching Eilin Hallen, the nanny of the twin princes.
‘Am I the most complete even now? This is insane.’
I’ve heard enough explanations that made my forehead pound.
While doing a dry wash with eyes that lost their way, Du Nuar’s story reached its destination.
“I want to live in the future after the completion. That’s my wish.”
Now that all the puzzle pieces had fallen into place.
But Kashaar still had lingering questions and asked.
“Why are you trapped here?”
Trapped?
I looked back and forth between Du Nuar and Kashaar.
“There’s another force mixed on top of pure magic. It’s confining the immense magic.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
