Chapter 03 Autumn 1856, Hanseong — Heungseon-gun Yi Ha-eung's Residence, Reception Hall Heungseon-gun Yi Ha-eung opened the first chapter of the Analects. “Learn and practice what you have learned from time to time—isn't that a joy? How far have you read?” Without looking at the book, I recited the passage from the very beginning. “Isn't it a joy to learn and practice what you have learned from time to time? Isn't it a pleasure when a friend comes from afar? And isn't one a gentleman…-

Chapter 02 Autumn 1856, Hanseong — Residence of Heungseon-gun Yi Ha-eung It was deep into the night, but I did not lower my gaze. With the Analects spread across my lap, I continued reading through it for the third time. Moving my lips silently, I engraved each passage into my mind one by one. The Analects consisted of twenty books and contained conversations between Confucius and his disciples. Rather than simply memorizing the words, it was important to understand the flow of the conversations…

Chapter 12 How to Survive as the Wife of a Monster Duke Whether it really was because of the Nened herb or not, Illin’s fever went down fairly quickly. That didn't mean the muscle pain disappeared. Since she couldn't take painkillers, enduring the pain was still entirely her responsibility. The doctor who had hurried over from the fortress later emphasized that any medicine suitable for a sun person absolutely had to be brought from the sun. “How could an herb from Bifalten, where it…-

Chapter 11 How to Survive as the Wife of a Monster Duke A commotion arose throughout the mansion. The unwanted guests who had been filling the corridors immediately lowered their heads deeply the moment they saw the robe embroidered lavishly with the red Delrose crest. It was for survival rather than loyalty. It was the robe worn by the head of House Bifalten. The head of the family always wore his hood so low that his face could barely be seen, but his masculine jawline and lips that uttered…

Chapter 10 The estate was huge. There were five large halls on the first floor, and the main building rose up seven floors. The Duke lived on the seventh floor, so Ilyin was only allowed up to the sixth. Lizzie’s explanation about the top floor was short. “Only the Red Delroses can go in. You can go in if you marry.” It meant guests were strictly forbidden. Ilyin wondered why there was only one main mansion, yet so many restricted areas inside it. Some corridors were clearly…

Chapter 09 “Biflten is ruled by four families.” Ilyin could not immediately understand Lizzie’s explanation. Wasn’t Biflten ruled only by the Duke of Biflten? The maid with the red hair ribbon had disappeared earlier, and now maids wearing blue ribbons attended to her instead. Colors seemed important inside this castle. Lidan had introduced himself as part of the Blue North and wore blue tassels. The man with the crystal-blue eyes had worn red tassels. “The Blue North, the Red…

Chapter 08 Ilyin quickly stepped back. The blue cloth slipped from her head and fell onto the snow. What was that? Fear made her entire body tremble. Then— Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a black uniform decorated with red tassels. A man stood there. His voice was low and clear, almost like the growl of a beast. Unlike the others, he wore nothing covering his face despite the freezing storm. His eyes were a cold blue. His jawline was sharp. For a brief moment— Their eyes…

Chapter 07 The carriage shook nonstop. Ilyin tried to endure the freezing cold while forcing herself to sleep, but it was impossible. Her feet had already gone numb. She rubbed them repeatedly with her hands, trying to bring warmth back. Even inside the raging snowstorm, the carriage only moved faster. There was no way to know the time anymore. The sun had completely disappeared behind thick clouds and blizzards. The carriage passed through what looked like caves buried beneath snow. Then…

Chapter 06 “What is it now?” Even though it had been a week since he last saw her, Viscount Arlene did not look happy to see Ilyin. If anything, he looked annoyed. Ilyin quietly looked at her father. Was he ever a good father when I was young? Not really. He cared more about the reputation of the family than his own wife or daughter. Instead of pitying his wife after she lost her mind, he only became angry that she ruined the family’s image. Ilyin could not remember ever being loved by…

Chapter 05 If Ilyin had not seen it in her dream, she might have ignored it. But she already knew the answer. “If you don’t believe me, would you like to inspect the wagon yourself? We’re preparing it right now.” “Alright.” The merchant leader personally guided her to the wagons. Everything looked exactly like her dream. The only difference was the time. In the dream, it had been dawn. Now, it was late afternoon. The wagons were steadily being filled with thick cotton buffers. When…
