“I can’t do that.” Hwi’s calm declaration made Yoonso’s shoulders slump. His response implied it wasn’t merely a matter of will. Of course, it wouldn’t be that simple. How could such a thing be easy? Fidgeting with his hands and picking at his fingertips, Yoonso noticed, far off, a person on a small boat crossing the river, using a long pole to collect the remnants of fallen sky lanterns from the water. Some wishes grow tall like thriving trees, reaching the heavens, while others…- 173.1 K • Ongoing
- As they stepped outside, the rain had stopped, and only faint dark clouds drifted beneath the clear moon in Hwi’s view. “Is this place always so crowded?” Even though the sun had fully set, the crowd seemed larger than before, and Yoonso looked around curiously. He had thought the marketplace was lively during the earlier hours, but now he saw that everyone walking the streets had bright expressions. “The Festival of Rejuvenation is approaching, isn’t it?” “Oh… That’s…

- Yoonso gazed calmly out the window at the steady drizzle of rain. Half a month had already passed. Today was his birthday, the day he was supposed to undergo his coming-of-age ceremony, and the day he was meant to enter the palace. In other words, it was also the day when the Soga family could no longer deceive the imperial court. He could delay his palace entry by citing illness or some other excuse, but that was unlikely to be overlooked so easily by the imperial court. Thus, it was certain that…

- A faint smile flickered across Hwi’s lips before vanishing. When he had rented the entire top floor for just a single night’s stay, Yoonso had suspected he was overflowing with wealth, but his assumptions were nothing compared to the reality. “And I plan to stay there for five days.” “What?” The shocking news made Yoonso’s neck stiffen. He pulled the reins to stop his horse and asked, “Why do you intend to rest there?” “I plan to handle some merchant group business I…

- "……What?" "Would you like to check what's inside this sachet?" The woman untied the sachet from her waist and spoke in a suggestive tone. Just as Yoonso was about to nod, thinking it would be nice to take a look, Hwi wrapped an arm around Yoonso’s neck, pulling him back as if to restrain him. "This boy’s curiosity surpasses that of a newborn puppy, so I worry he might cause unnecessary trouble." A newborn puppy for a young man about to come of age? Glaring at Hwi for the inappropriate…

- Thanks to heading southeast, the air brushing against his cheeks softened day by day. After recovering from his illness and getting up, Yoonso felt even lighter. He rode his horse eagerly, like a fish in water, but after a scolding from Hwi, he decided to restrain himself. Not long after, a floral scent wafted from somewhere, and soon a garden filled with fully bloomed plum trees appeared. Yoonso let out a gasp at the splendid sight not far away. “It’s truly spring. It’s beautiful. Which season…

- Born as the second son of a Sadaebu family, Yoonso, who was six years younger than his older brother Wongyeong, was the baby of the family and received an abundance of affection. Wongyeong had already passed the chosi and was awaiting the next examination, shouldering the expectations of the entire household. In contrast, Yoonso had no interest in a government post and, thanks to his righteous older brother, was able to dream of a free life. Yoonso considered all of this a blessing and strived to be…

- “I’m usually quite healthy. It’s just that, being on my first journey, I must be nervous, and that’s why this happened.” Even though he rarely caught a cold during seasonal changes, Yoonso couldn’t help but feel regret that his health was holding him back now. As he swallowed a sigh, a sound came from the doorway. “Are you feeling better?” An elderly man with a long white beard entered. Seeing the medicine box in his hand, he appeared to be a physician. “The fever has gone…

- 𓇢𓆸 Today, for some reason, there were no servants tending to the inner quarters. It seemed they were all busy preparing to welcome guests who were said to be arriving. There was no one guarding the main gate either, so Yoonso cautiously looked around and stood at the threshold. Standing there, he noticed the side gate wide open. For Yoonso, who had not taken a single step outside the inner quarters since sprouting, the open gate felt as though it were beckoning him. He had been told that…

- Feeling as though struck hard on the head, Yoonso was dazed and found it difficult to open his mouth easily. Licking his parched lips, Yoonso barely managed to compose his expression. “A conscription, you say? Is it not a service that must be rightfully performed for the sake of the nation? They are doing it for the Yeong-glorious task…” “What meaning is there in a Yeong-glory that erases oneself?” “They receive privileges worthy of it, so they must bear the duty as…
