How far have you read?” Without looking at the book, I recited the passage from the very beginning. “Is it not a pleasure to learn and practice what one has learned from time to time? Is it not a joy when a friend comes from afar? Is one not a gentleman if one does…- 1.6 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 2 Autumn 1856, Heungseon-gun Yi Ha-eung’s Residence, Hanseong It was deep into the night, but I did not lower my gaze. With the Analects spread across my lap, I continued my third complete reading. Moving my lips silently, I etched each passage into my mind one by one. The Analects consisted of twenty books, containing conversations between Confucius and his disciples. Rather than simply memorizing the words, it was more important to understand the flow of the conversations. The problem was…

- Chapter 01 When I opened my eyes, the ceiling was far too low. A young maid was kneeling beside me, staring straight at me. Her eyes were so round and black that she looked as though she had just witnessed something startling. Where am I? I stared blankly at the ceiling. My last memory was of opening a can of beer in front of a convenience store after working overtime. I could still vividly remember the sharp hiss as the carbonation rose, but when I opened my eyes, I found myself in this room. Is…

Chapter 10 “What are you thinking so deeply about?” Elin didn’t notice the Duke looking at her with a curious expression. “Ah, no… If we… get married, would it be okay to invite my great-aunt in Castia?” Elin asked carefully. She wasn’t sure how this contract marriage would take place. She didn’t even know if there would be a proper wedding in front of people. Dominic laughed lightly, as if her worry was unnecessary. “Of course. You can invite anyone you want. It’s…- 682.4 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 9 “Sylvia.” Dominic gently kissed the back of her hand as usual.Her hand, covered in thin lace gloves, trembled under his lips. “This rumor… it isn’t true, right?” Dominic straightened and answered in a calm, emotionless voice. “It isn’t polite to gossip about someone who isn’t here.” He did not clearly deny it. Sylvia’s face twisted in pain. “Then… the rumor is true?” Instead of answering, Dominic quietly lifted his wine glass and…

- Chapter 8 He knew someone was watching. He even expected these rumors to spread. Elin felt dizzy at the Duke’s persistence. “So it wasn’t just a rumor. I can tell by your face.” Charlotte quickly guessed from Elin’s shocked expression. “It’s true I met the Duke, but the rumors aren’t. We just talked.” “Hmm. You talked… with the Duke of Linderto?” Charlotte crossed her arms and smirked. “Yes… I’m sure that’s all.” Her teasing smile made Elin feel…

- Chapter 7 Only then did Jeffrey act surprised and politely showed respect. “I will guide you right away, Miss Elin. Please follow me.” Ashamed of judging her by appearance and comparing her to a noble lady, he treated her with great respect as he led her inside. The atmosphere feels different today… Elin stepped carefully inside, taking a small breath in. Yesterday, the hall had been dazzling— Today, it felt like a quiet, solemn museum. “This way. Please watch your…

- Chapter 6 While Elin was trembling slightly, the Duke’s gaze secretly turned somewhere else. On the terrace directly across, shining eyes were quietly watching them. Dominic already knew someone was secretly watching the two of them, but Elin had no idea. “Let them see clearly what happened on this terrace today… and spread it however they like.” A faint smile appeared on his lips as he leaned closer toward Elin’s face. The eyes in the darkness widened in shock at the…

Chapter 10 The Northern Grand Duke’s Wife, I Can’t Do This Because It’s Too Cold “Madam, I’m getting nervous just thinking about it.” “Why?” “It’s your first time going out into the city! You must be nervous, too, right?” “Haha… Yes.” I gave Lara an awkward smile as she spoke as though she were deeply moved. ‘Actually, I… this isn’t my first time going into the city.’ I had been in such a hurry when I ran away that I hadn’t gotten to look around…- 791.5 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 9 The Northern Grand Duke’s Wife, I Can’t Do This Because It’s Too Cold To Daven. “Oh.” I let out a little exclamation at the letters that appeared naturally beneath my hand. I thought I could only read this language, but apparently I could write it just as well. After finishing my day, I returned to my room and prepared a letter for Daven. I had been a little concerned because we had parted rather hurriedly last time… And I thought I should at least let him know…
