When in doubt, it’s the system. I called the system.
Then, a blurry dialogue box appeared.
[T^T]Now it’s even crying.
It was a bit surprising. Was Seol Yubin such a huge source of energy? I can’t even imagine what will happen when the true heroine Seol Yuwha appears.
‘Will she go completely crazy when Seol Yuwha shows up?’
Anyway, in its current state, the system provided an answer.
[Clear condition: Happy ending for ‘all characters.’]And then it fell asleep.
[SYSTEM] [Entering sleep mode.]‘…Is it dead?’
I tried calling the system again, but there was no response. It seems like it really ran out of energy. I felt a bit sorry.
‘Well, anyway.’
If the clear condition is a happy ending for ‘all characters’… it’s quite challenging.
I pondered.
‘Is it possible for everyone to be happy?’
If that were possible, why would I be doing this, taking orders and doing these things?
No matter how I thought about it, it didn’t make sense.
Then, maybe I need to interpret it differently.
‘Perhaps it means that only the ‘characters’ need to be happy.’
The criteria are probably whether their names are mentioned in the original or not?
Then, it made more sense than before.
‘In that case… I should at least take care of Ryu Tae-geon from Hae Sung High School.’
Just to make sure you haven’t forgotten, Ryu Tae-geon is the focus of Hae Sung High School.
After writing the names of the two people in the diary, I got lost in thought.
‘But how can I make this one have a happy ending?’
Even without information, there’s still too little. In the original work, Ryu Tae-geon was nothing more or less than an antagonist who was brutally defeated by the protagonists. There was a time when I considered connecting Yoo Heena and Ryu Tae-geon, and I’ve even seen with my own eyes that Ryu Tae-geon likes Yoo Heena. However, there was no detailed backstory or anything else beyond that, and I had no information.
‘Well, then…’
Thud. I closed the diary loudly.
‘Let’s find out for ourselves.’
I decided to gather information about Hae Sung High School.
Information Gathering Step 1. Listen to rumors.
‘If it’s about rumors, there’s an expert.’
I immediately approached Danbal.
“H-hi. Ju, Jueun-ah.”
Seeing Danbal stumbling over his words, I felt something was off.
‘I didn’t do anything.’
Is this the power of the Four Heavenly Kings? Something seems wrong, but I didn’t want to think too deeply about it, so I got straight to the point.
“Um, I have something to ask. Do you have time?”
Danbal looked at me for a moment with trembling eyes, then nodded. When I asked about Hae Sung High School, Danbal breathed a sigh of relief as if his mind had been put at ease and began explaining.
The information obtained from Danbal was as follows:
“Hae Sung High School’s focus… they were precisely taken care of this time.”
“They got caught fighting.”
“It seems they’re a group of delinquents who appear every night, and Ryu Tae-geon is leading them.”
“There’s a rumor that Ryu Tae-geon’s ex-girlfriend is from our school.”
He started off hesitantly, but later, he became very excited and started shouting.
Finally, Danbal whispered to my ear.
“Oh, this is really a secret, but Ryu Tae-geon is actually constipated.”
No… I didn’t want to know that… I ended up learning even about Ryu Tae-geon’s bathroom troubles at Hae Sung High School.
Anyway, it was quite an informative time.
‘I really know everything now.’
I watched Danbal return to his seat after completing the mission. If this were a romance, this guy would definitely be an NPC asking for information next to the protagonist.
‘Thank you, Danbal.’
I resolved to repay Danbal’s kindness someday.
Information Gathering Step 2. Inquire around the vicinity.
There was only one person around me who knew Ryu Tae-geon the best.
“What? Who?”
It was none other than Yoo Heena.
“Why are you suddenly asking me about that jerk?”
Well… because you’re the only one close to Ryu Tae-geon around me?
If Samdaeboi were closer, I might have asked him, but that side is complicated.
Although Yoo Heena didn’t like Ryu Tae-geon either, I thought there might be some useful information since Ryu Tae-geon likes Yoo Heena.
Indeed, I was able to get new information from Yoo Heena.
“To be honest… I first met Ryu Tae-geon when I was 14.”
It turns out that the first place Ryu Tae-geon and Yoo Heena met was at the hospital. Ryu Tae-geon, who got injured in a fight at the hospital where Yoo Heena was hospitalized, came for treatment.
“Since then, isn’t there something that annoyingly keeps chasing me? Even if I say I don’t need it, they keep sending strange gifts!”
Well… Setting aside whether it’s useful information, it was quite fresh.
‘I didn’t know that person was such a character.’
Seems even more like a pure love character than I thought. It doesn’t suit him.
“Hey, you’re not going to tell Ji-chan about this, right?”
Suddenly, Yoo Heena grabbed me as if feeling uneasy. Seems like she doesn’t like that Ryu Tae-geon seems close to me.
“Don’t tell him.”
“Really? Just try saying it!”
Even if she threatened me now, it just looked cute. Well, maybe that’s why Seong Ji-chan couldn’t shake off Yoo Heena. Constantly understanding the original work is troublesome.
Finally, Information Gathering Step 3.
Observe directly.
‘Alright, let’s go to Hae Sung High School.’
After school. I clenched my fist and boldly walked out of the school gate.
Hae Sung High School was about a 20-minute walk away.
‘Come to think of it… Was this the boys’ high school?’
I hid behind a tree near the school gate and cautiously peeked out.
‘I came here without thinking, what should I do now?’
Should’ve at least changed clothes before coming. A plain girl in a boys’ high school uniform. If I stood out, all eyes would definitely be on me.
‘Should I just go back?’
At that moment, someone tapped me on the back.
“Hey.”
“Ah! You scared me!”
I was startled and turned around.
And…
“…Huh?”
After confirming the identity of the person who called me, I widened my eyes.
“What are you doing here?”
The voice’s owner was none other than Sunwoo Jin.
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.
