Chapter 28 “You can't even hurt me.” Woon Sook-eum spoke with a relaxed expression. “Ugh...” The child glared at Woon Sook-eum with a cold expression, her eyes filled with gloom. She tried desperately to free herself, but she couldn't move at all. Then she gathered all the strength in her body, behaving like a wild beast waiting for the perfect opening to tear apart the prey before her in a single attack. Woon Sook-eum let out a low chuckle. As expected of a little wolf cub. I…-

Chapter 27 She had hoped that if there happened to be some eccentric person with a peculiar taste, she might be able to sell the child for a high price. But unfortunately, the child was far too wild and completely impossible to tame. After hearing that, Woon Sook-eum examined the child carefully. Sure enough, the child's eyes were a light brown, and upon closer inspection, she discovered, unexpectedly, that the child had double pupils (重瞳, Chongtong). Waral... 'Then, could she be from the…

Chapter 26 Most of the servants in the Marquis Mu'en's household did not have surnames. Those like the man before her, who possessed a complete surname and given name, were generally people who had sold themselves due to difficult circumstances, or those who had entered the household under a huoqi—a type of service contract in which they regained their freedom after a fixed term. The only other possibility was that they were trusted retainers who had served the family for generations and had quietly…

Chapter 25 “Auntie, don't worry. I'll keep a close eye on Second Miss. Nothing will happen to her.” Only after hearing those words did Madam Jin feel somewhat relieved. As the carriage slowly disappeared into the distance, Madam Jin watched in the direction it had gone, her expression changing repeatedly. For some reason, she couldn't shake the feeling that Second Miss had become extraordinarily difficult to handle compared with before. She hurried back to Crane-Crying Courtyard and went…

Chapter 24 After soothing Jing'er and getting her to lie down, Yun Sook-eum began planning her next moves. Jinsu Garden was far too large, and now that Jing'er was injured, even someone like Yun Sook-eum, who detested unnecessary complications, had no choice but to bring in a few maids to take care of the residence. However, she didn't want to use anyone from the Duke's household. If she casually brought people into her inner circle, she might as well be planting spies beside herself. Instead,…

Chapter 23 “I was set up by Yun Juwol. That day, when I went outside, I was kidnapped by people she had bribed and dragged all the way to the southern regions.” She did not hide what had happened to her before, wanting Jing'er to understand how serious the situation was. However, she cleverly changed the government soldiers involved into human traffickers and described the exiled prisoners as kidnapped young women, giving her only a rough account of what had happened. It wasn't because she…

Chapter 22 “Now I understand. I am the rightful legitimate daughter of the Duke's household, so there is no reason for me to fear those two outsiders who forced their way into our family. Don't worry. From now on, no one will dare bully us again. Your Miss will protect you, so I'll make sure you never have to suffer injustice again.” Jing'er widened her eyes when she heard that. “Really?” “Of course it's true.” Yun Sook-eum nodded with a smile. “Your Miss is quite capable, you…

Chapter 21 Not only that, but a vast forest of plum trees had been planted all around Jinsu Garden. Every single one of them had been planted by Yun Ryeo-an in the past in an attempt to win Lady Im's favor. And whenever winter came and white snow fluttered down from the sky, the red plum blossoms would burst into full bloom. The entire Jinsu Garden would seem as though it had been buried beneath a sea of red clouds, creating a breathtakingly beautiful sight that was almost impossible to look away…

Chapter 14 Late at night, in the Imperial Prince’s Palace of the Rizenberg Empire. The blond man lying in bed slowly sat up. He called out toward the empty balcony. “Scarlet. Are you there?” “Did you call for me?” A man draped in black robes emerged from the darkness. He naturally lowered himself to one knee. “Report on the current situation at the Carseido estate.” At the blond man’s command, the robed man began to report. “As you know, things have changed somewhat…-

Chapter 13 “What, what kind of medicine is that? And Lionel isn’t the kind of woman who cares about appearances. She’d love me just the way I am……” “‘Love me for who I am’ is the kind of bullshit an unattractive loser says.” The man clicked his tongue at Adrian’s defensive response. “Inner beauty is important, of course. But you have a problem that comes before that. Look in the mirror and think objectively. Do you really look like someone whose inner beauty a person would…
