“I am Lily Blanche,” I said. “I’ve been assigned as the personal attendant to the younger young master.” “A pleasure, Lily. As you seem to already know, I am Deon’s brother, Rhan Centineo.” Rhan smiled like an angel and offered his hand. I took it, returning his bright smile. The way he won people over with that gentle smile and beautiful face was exactly what I’d expect from a key character in the novel. And if I hadn’t read the original story, his were the kind of looks I…- 9.6 K • Ongoing
- “I have brought it.” Rhan gazed intently at the falcon the guard had brought. A letter was tied to the leg of the frantically flapping bird. The quick-witted guard untied the letter and handed it to him. Rhan’s eyes scanned the page. He’d ordered the bird intercepted after spotting one of the Blanche servants sending it off in a hurry, and its contents were enough to leave him dumbfounded. <Young Mistress Caught in Secret Tryst> The “young mistress” the Blanche servant…

- Hanson’s eyes widened. It was faint, but it was definitely the younger master’s voice. That was the direction of the lake. What was he doing there? And the other voice… “Are you going to take responsibility if I drown?” Lily Blanche. That girl was the only one in the entire manor who could raise her voice to the younger master without a hint of fear. Hanson glanced at Rhan. The brothers had a strained relationship; it would be best to turn back to avoid an encounter. “Just a…

- A faint noise made Deon’s face twist in irritation. With hearing more sensitive than most, he could easily pick up sounds from a great distance. There was nowhere he could go to find quiet. Being near people was noisy in its own way, but he preferred this kind of distant clamor. Listening to the inner thoughts of the servants, who played their roles as loyal attendants so perfectly to his face, filled him with a weary disgust at the chasm between their masks and their true feelings. But they…

- ‘I’ll just keep Deon alive until he meets the female lead.’ The female lead was currently absent. She had supposedly gone on a trip to some island, and it seemed it would take quite some time for her to return. The original story hadn't started yet, so I had no idea when she would be back. That’s why I gave myself a generous timeframe. Well, no matter how long she was gone, she would surely be back before I came of age. In any case, I had to prevent the male lead’s death before those two…

“Are you alright? You suddenly looked unwell…” he said, his voice laced with concern. He reached out and gently touched my forehead and cheek. “I…I don’t have a fever. I’m fine,” I stammered, startled by his touch. I instinctively pulled away. I realized my reaction might have been misinterpreted. Kal’s hand froze mid-air before slowly retracting. He looked at me with a strange expression, then offered a strained smile. “That’s good. If you’re not feeling well,…- 19.1 K • Ongoing
- If only I could … you. The date was from long before I fell into this world. And underneath, there were short phrases in a familiar script that wasn’t mine, yet I was sure I had seen it somewhere before. The torn section left a gaping hole, making it impossible to piece together the context. Toward the end, the words were so heavily erased and written over that they were nearly illegible. “Ren, what are you looking at so intently?” The car had left the main road and was now stopped at a…

- He looked completely determined to provoke me. How childish, I thought, giving him the side-eye. There he was, sprawled across the sofa, chin propped on his hand, brazenly looking me up and down. Asking a man who couldn’t appreciate the delicate beauty of a floral print for his opinion was like talking to a brick wall. My sharp glare made Raphelt flinch for a second before he glared right back. Seriously… what is he even doing? “Hey.” He beckoned to me. “What?” “Come here…

Sienna’s heart was heavy. How could she possibly be at ease when the child who had ridden all night through the rain for her sake now lay like this? She gently brushed back a strand of hair that had stuck to his sweaty cheek, her eyes filled with anxiety as she watched him. Just then, a knock came at the door. “Sienna, are you in there? Please open the door.” It was Jane’s voice. Sienna went to the door and turned the handle. Jane stood there, holding a basin full of water and a…- 26.6 K • Ongoing
- Sienna’s gaze fell on Jane’s injury. A cloth was clumsily wrapped around her index finger, but blood was seeping through it. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just cut myself while trimming something. It’ll heal soon.” “That must hurt. You should at least put some medicine on it.” “Haha, medicine? How could we ever afford medicine? Only someone like the young master can buy things like that.” Ah, right. This is a world inside a book. Sienna was once again reminded that she was living…
