Keeping a distance, Seol-seong blocked in front of the defenseless Hemi, questioning.
“Are you okay?”
Then, his expression slightly distorted as if his consciousness was slipping away.
“…I let my guard down.”
With a helpless smile that meant more than words, Hemi pulled out a golden lightning-shaped sword from his palm.
Seeing that, Shin-hwi smirked.
“Well, if you had such a skill, you should have used it earlier. Why have you been carrying that worn-out scythe around?”
Before his words could finish, both Hemi and Seol-seong leaped from the ground.
Without waiting for someone to initiate, they simultaneously attacked Shin-hwi.
King! Kaang!
Blocking the spear and sword horizontally, he forcefully kicked Hemi away and, grabbing Seol-seong’s spear, swung her around and threw her far.
However, before the fierce attack, Hemi’s sword returned fiercely, slashing across his shoulder.
Due to his quick response, it wasn’t fatal, but it could have pierced his heart straight away.
“Tsk!”
Hemi clicked his tongue in disappointment.
Following that, Seol-seong once again aimed for his back, and Shin-hwi raised both arms to block her spear.
However, he couldn’t avoid the powerful kick that came immediately, getting hit in the side and flying before crashing.
Annoyed, he brushed off the dirt on his clothes and glared at Hemi and Seol-seong.
“Sneak attacks are entirely your specialty.”
In response, Hemi replied, “It’s an occupational hazard, you bastard!”
Wuguk is a place that manages the detention of prisoners, so all Celestials are composed of the Royal Guards. Furthermore, before Seol-seong became the leader of Hwaguk, he was the deputy leader of Seolguk, and Seolguk was an organization formed specifically for combat. So, while Hemi’s remark meant that he would use any means necessary to suppress his opponent, Shin-hwi thought he was making boring jokes based on his appearance.
“Here I go!”
Breaking the tense atmosphere, Seol-seong immediately launched an attack.
Hemi shouted to the frozen Romy, “What are you doing just standing there and watching? Hurry up and join forces!”
“What? Oh, yes!”
She answered in a hurry, but her feet didn’t move easily.
Taking advantage of this, Shin-hwi withdrew the barrier and retreated.
“Stand there!”
Hemi tried to chase him, but his presence had completely disappeared.
“We are at a disadvantage in a prolonged battle. Even if humans suffer, it will be significant.”
Although Seol-seong quietly objected, she couldn’t hide the uncomfortable look in her eyes.
“……I-I’m sorry.”
While apologizing, Romy, who was watching the situation, rolled up her sleeves, but it was like pouring oil on a burning house.
“You useless idiot!”
He slapped her in the face, glaring at her.
“A servant who serves a half-wit master like you can’t be much either! Immature fools meeting, just a burden!”
While the inexperienced Seol-seong was trying to stop him, the angry Romy barked like a mad dog.
“What! Why did you get slapped by Yang Shin-hwi and vent your anger on our master!”
“……What?”
“Does our leader know anything about human affairs! He eats from the same pot as Yang Shin-hwi in the same agency, how can he casually attack us like this in the face of such a shocking reunion!”
“If you can’t distinguish between public and private matters, that’s what happens…!”
“Then you should have let the leader, who is good at handling public matters, deal with Yang Shin-hwi!”
“……!”
“Poong!!”
……Poong? Ppoo-woong??
Now, Hemi, with his mouth wide open, couldn’t even respond, just staring at her in bewilderment.
It was a shock to be hit on the head with a full swing.
“……Poong? Ppoo-woong?? How dare a beast like you say poong in front of a celestial?”
He shivered as he asked Seol-seong, but even she, astonished, couldn’t respond immediately and rolled her eyes in confusion.
Meanwhile, Romy, with all her might, rolled her eyes and left, heading towards San.
“Hey! Hey! Hey……!”
Stuttering and trembling, Hemi couldn’t say anything more, collapsing as he was grabbed by the back of his neck.
When Kang opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a faint light.
Closing his eyes tightly and opening them again, the blurry vision became clear, revealing an unfamiliar ceiling.
He felt warmth on the back of his hand, and when he turned his head, he saw Romy’s small hand covering his hand.
“Umm.”
Hearing his movement, she, who was lying on the bed, quickly sat up.
“Unni! Are you awake?”
“Where is this…”
“It’s a hospital.”
“A hospital? What happened?”
With difficulty squeezing out his voice, she blushed as if she might cry at any moment.
“Ugh…”
“Why, Romy. Hm? What happened?”
Reaching out, Kang brushed Romy’s eyes and slowly scanned the surroundings, asking, “Where is San?”
“……”
“Where is San?”
“Master… hasn’t woken up yet…”
Feeling her heart beating faster with anxiety, she asked, “What… what does that mean?”
Romy conveyed that San lost consciousness shortly after Seol-seong and Hemi appeared.
According to Seol-seong, the medicine in the drink was not a common sleeping pill found in the human world but seemed to be a sleep-inducing herb used in Wuguk.
Sleep herb has a much stronger and longer-lasting effect on Celestials, including both Celestials and Suren, not to mention Monma. Therefore, compared to the ordinary sleeping pills affecting humans, it was an inexplicable part that San did not lose consciousness to that extent.
Kang’s heart tightened.
He realized that San desperately resisted the effects of the medicine to save himself from danger.
“Where is San right now?”
“Master is sleeping in another room.”
“Who is beside him?”
“Seol-seong is beside the master.”
“…….?”
“My mission is to protect Unni.”
With Romy’s answer, she once again found herself speechless.
“If Master is in a situation where both Unni and Master need to be protected at the same time, he always said to protect Unni no matter what.”
Saying so, Romy sobbed.
Knowing how great Romy’s affection and loyalty to San were, Kang could understand what was going on in her heart.
In her heart, she would have wanted to protect San’s side.
Quietly looking at Romy, Kang hugged her tightly and said, “Thank you.”
Thanks to her, they were both unharmed.
Now, the remaining task was to quickly check San’s safety.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
