He really was pathetic. Every time the opportunity arose, Sahyeol Amje would force his way in with harassment or threats, and Seolyeong stared at him with a cold expression. With his chin seized, his head tilted back, and his gaze naturally fell into a languid glare. Above the heavens, beneath the heavens, I alone am supreme. There was no phrase more fitting for the man than that. Seolyeong, eyeing the neatly chiseled features of the sect leader, muttered sharply, “If you force a kiss, I’ll bite…- 253.5 K • Completed
- Hwang Choseon had returned, and with a terrifying message clutched in his arms. His dark purple skirts fluttered as he stormed into the rear garden of Yeohwa Hall, carmine-stained lips parting as he asked, “Murong brat. Have you heard this rumor?” As usual, Seolyeong was in the middle of doing push-ups and ignored him. He knew that if he asked, “What rumor?” then the chatterbox would launch into a flood of gossip right away. Choseon plopped down beside him in a crouch. “Come on, give…

- But once he reread the words, Seolyeong realized they might remind the reader of Murong Jeongui, and in haste, he crumpled the page. Even when he picked up the brush again, no suitable phrases came to mind. In the end, he never finished the letter, even as scrapped drafts piled beneath the desk and rolled around the floor. He found it absurd, was his writing truly this poor? He’d never had a gift for music, sure, but at least he used to be competent enough with words to avoid embarrassment. “Why…

- The place Tang Yujae visited after his argument with his bride was the large guest hall prepared for the envoy. Hanhoe’s delegation leader was staying on the top floor of a three-story building, and perhaps from the shock of losing the Heavenly Heart Ice Pill, she hadn’t been able to sleep a wink. If word got out that a man from the Inner Palace had resonated with the heavens of the North Sea, the Ice Palace Mistress’ wrath would undoubtedly fall on her. It was in the middle of her deepening…

- Tang Yujae couldn’t open his mouth carelessly. The turbulent Qi erupting in all directions gradually calmed down. Only when it had finally settled into something close to peace did he speak up, belatedly. “Pointless nonsense.” Strangely, he showed almost no resistance to the imugi’s sharp remark. Truthfully, that was how Tang Yujae had always spoken. When the situation turned against him, he didn’t flail or lose control, he kept his tone as indifferent as possible. Once emotion took…

- Seolyeong blinked in confusion. Sahyeol Amje looked at him with an indifferent gaze. At some point, one of his eyes had turned gold, glowing faintly. Seolyeong asked, “Is the imugi coming out now? Is the one standing here not my husband, but… the imugi-nim instead?” He still remembered the sight of his husband throwing off his robe and running out of the room naked. Hearing his bride refer to the imugi with such bizarre courtesy made Tang Yujae let out a dry laugh. The imugi also seemed to…

- The Sect Leader had gone so far as to lend out Haeseong Pavilion for Seolyeong and Peng Rang’s meeting. Most likely, he felt it would’ve been improper for them to meet elsewhere. No matter how far in the past their bond might’ve been, Rang was a woman who harbored feelings for him. Seolyeong sat quietly in a tea room floored with red sandalwood, waiting for her. After about one minute, Rang arrived, visibly tense. “O Rang of the North Sea presents herself before the Gyo-mo of the Cheonma…

- Of course, Seolyeong had never been close with Si Pungjae, nor did he harbor anything resembling affection for him. At best, the man had been a shadow trailing after him, standing in for Cheonsin’s all-seeing eye. Even so, hearing that someone whose face he’d seen so often might now be dead left a weight in his chest. Groaning, he pushed himself upright and asked in disbelief, “What do you mean, ‘he failed to serve me properly’?” Despite his brother’s uncertain fate, Si Pungwoon’s…

- A chilling silence filled the air. The cave’s characteristically cold air brushed slowly across his skin. …Tang clan. Those two words sliced through Tang Yujae’s thoughts. He had revived the Cheonma Divine Sect and risen to the top, but the surname Tang now meant nothing more than something that barred him from ever fostering any new ambitions. At some point, Yujae had stopped feeling real anger even when dredging up the moment his clan had been torn apart. The world had changed too fast.…

- Even after boldly criticizing his husband, the fearless bride showed not a trace of hesitation. If anything, Seolyeong looked relieved. Sahyeol Amje, who had been silent like a man in meditation, suddenly leaned in toward him. The distance between their faces vanished in an instant, and Seolyeong flinched. With the sect leader’s black eyes right in front of his nose, his throat went dry. His mouth moved before his brain did. “Y-You can’t…!” There was no need to ask what he was trying…
