CHAPTERS
Pretending not to, Yoonso stole glances at Hwi, then pressed his lips firmly together. In a place as beautiful and romantic as this, as if he had stepped into a painting, he felt he might be able to summon his courage. When he withdrew his hand, Hwi’s gaze followed it. Yoonso took out the pouch he had embroidered with all his heart from inside his robes. “It is a gift for you, my lord.” Though it was a little crumpled from being handled so much, its colors were lovely enough that it was not…- 173.1 K • Ongoing
- I had only asked a question, and though I had not yet heard a reply, my heart pounded improperly. Yoonso wet his lips with his tongue and let out a trembling breath. “If you truly like me. I can wait. Without leaving… remaining here… I will wait until you have settled your affairs, my lord.” If the So Yoonso from before he left home, before he came of age, had heard this, he would have been aghast and thrown stones, asking if he had gone mad. But the So Yoonso of now had spent an…

- The sound of footsteps approaching him made Yoonso raise the corners of his mouth. Because of work, Hwi must have been exhausted from rushing back and forth, so Yoonso wanted to show him as bright an expression as possible. It was the moment he turned around with a laugh, his heart feeling much lighter. In an instant, the now-close Hwi collapsed into Yoonso's arms. Yoonso's eyes widened greatly as he hurriedly spread his arms to catch the heavy weight. He was startled once by the acrid smell that…

- 𓇢𓆸 “Hyung-nim! Hyung-nim, you’re going to stay with us forever now, right?” At Hyungseo’s bright question, Yoonso’s steps faltered. Yoonso looked down at Hyungseo for a moment before swinging their clasped hands back and forth energetically. This made Hyungseo burst into laughter. Even though he had grown quite a bit, seeing such a pure, childlike boy brought a gentle smile to Yoonso’s lips. “What should I do? I have to leave soon.” “Really? Where are you…

- The moment he had dreamed of and pictured hundreds, thousands of times was finally upon him, but he could not take a step so easily. He was a Yeongchunhwa, who had the duty to protect the Yongrin. The Yongrin were the heroes who would save the empire from the map of hell, and he had to become their guardian. It was the will of the Dragon God and a command from heaven that could not be defied. Moreover, a Yeongchunhwa’s escape was high treason. If it was discovered that he had fled once the sun came…

- “What are you doing sitting there all alone?” Yoonso, who hadn’t noticed anyone approaching, flinched at Kyungae’s voice and turned around. Standing at the door, Kyungae glanced between Yoonso and the pouch he’d been holding moments ago, then came over and sat down. “It doesn’t look like it’s going well.” “Still, I’ve made some progress.” “With your heart off in a beanfield, how could it turn out properly?” She picked up the pouch with her fingertips, examined the…

- “If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have found our Hyungseo. How can we ever repay this kindness?” “It’s nothing. I just happened to visit the shrine and met Hyungseo by chance, so it was good luck.” Yoonso comforted the tearful Eunkang, pouring wine into her cup. Nearby, Kyungae let out a deep sigh and gave a hollow laugh. “I searched so hard, and he was at the shrine. They say it’s darkest under the lamp, and truly. Was I being punished for not stepping foot in a…

- Standing by the window, Yoonso watched the Yongrin moving so swiftly it was hard to follow. There were at least three of them. Typically, a Hwasichung was staffed by two Yongrin and one Yeongchunhwa, so these must have come from another region for support. It was said Yongrin could move faster than horses, and it seemed true. If such people were after a single Yeongchunhwa, they’d surely succeed. “Yeohyung.” Lost in thought, Yoonso snapped back at Hwi’s voice. Leaning against the wall with…

- After the current emperor ascended the throne, the first reform he addressed was the system governing Yeongchunhwa’s entry into the palace. Originally, Yeongchunhwa were required to enter the palace immediately upon blossoming, forcing them to part with their families. Overturning this, the emperor revised the system so that unblossomed Yeongchunhwa could enter the palace upon reaching adulthood. Of course, those who wished could enter the palace right after blossoming, and since entering granted…

- Passing the hall where the dragon statue stood and entering further, they came upon a sizable pavilion. As they stepped into its courtyard, a priest dressed in pristine white robes approached and greeted them courteously. “What brings you here?” Though he appeared nonchalant, Yoonso sensed the priest observing Hwi. Hwi casually surveyed the surroundings before speaking. “I’m considering making a donation.” “Oh! Is that so?” At the mention of a donation, the priest’s face…
