"You made me miserable.”... more>>

My husband, Carlothian, loved the saint of the empire.

After the ugly jealousy, what remained was the stigma of cursing the saint.

It happened when I gave up everything after so much regret.

"So the body I'm possessing is the villainess of the century who cursed the saint?"

Oh come on, Not me. A singer who lost their voice in a car accident, 'I,' opened my eyes. With a body that could no longer sing, I intended to die just like that.

"I won't let you die.”

My husband, who once loved the saint, is acting strange. Why now?

I am not Ariadeline who was drowning in love.

"What on earth are you thinking?”

"I'm thinking of making you love me again."

Unlike my confused self, Carlothian smiled.

"You already loved me once."

Since you already loved me once, won't loving me twice be easier?

The teary sound filled the room thickly. <<less

I grew up in a dysfunctional family, surrounded by neighbors, no, strangers who looked at us with sneering eyes. My father, he was a hoodlum and my mother a lady of the evening or for better or worse, a harlot. I thought it was normal, that this life I lived was normal. After all, this was the only life I’ve ever known.... more>>

Though most of the time, they hardly bothered over my well-being and dread going home, home to that deserted house. Gradually, I began to hate life… or so I thought ‘till a girl of my own age, yet older than me, appeared like a spring flower.

Her name was Qing Qing and she was born in the middle of winter.

I call her Big Sister Qing Qing.

When she smiled, she had those two sweet dimples adorning her cheeks as her pair of beautiful long hair shone under the rays of the sun. Her pink pleated skirt was an elegant contrast to her white and fragrant figure.

Looking at her… my heart thumped…

I think she stole my heart without notice, without me knowing.

And I fell hard. <<less

"Do you know who broke my eyes?"
"......."
"A maid just like you."

A hand cupped her cheek, then passed over her chin and grabbed her neck. She coughed raggedly as her breathing was squeezed out.

"Do you even know how she broke them?"
"......."
"She poured poison into my eyes."

The pressure pressing down on her hand was heavy.

This is the weight of my sins. Even if I spend the rest of my life helping him, I will never be able to erase this karma.

"Meeting you is the greatest luck of my life," the man whispered.

"Next time, we'll both walk this path with our eyes open."

Next time....... She pursed her lips and tried to pronounce it.

"I’m jealous of the eyes of the men who see your back. I envy someone else's hand that will touch your loose hair. I hate someone who will receive your smile. You may not believe it, but indeed I do.”
Graceus III slowly bowed down and took her hand again. He put his lips on the back of her hand, which was the only thing he was allowed to do. He did so for a long time, because he did not want to let go of her hand that he had caught, and he did not want to separate from the hand that his lips touched.
"Don't smile at someone who isn't me, don't show your back to someone who isn't me, don't give your hand to someone who isn't me, don't give your heart to someone who isn't me. Mohiresien, Mohiresien, don't put anyone in your frozen heart.”

“Cliff.”

I hesitated for a moment, then firmly pressed my lips together. I tensed my body pretending indifference. After shielding myself with calmness, I opened my mouth provocatively.

“What exactly are you to me?”

Without all the singularities or whatever. I didn’t add any unnecessary reasons or information. Interpretation was Cliff’s job. Surprisingly, Cliff answered without hesitation. There was no pause or hesitation.

Now the interpretation was my job. However, while my intentions were often read by Cliff, Cliff had never been read by me. When I regained my senses, it was always in Cliff’s palm.

“You’re too difficult, Cliff.”

I let out a bitter laugh. This and that seemed to be quite different stories.

“Please just say something that people can understand at once, Cliff.”

As I sighed, I heard a soft laughter from the other end of the phone. In that low and gentle voice, I found myself laughing along unintentionally, and at that moment, Cliff said, <<less

One day, while he thought he would never be liked by anyone again. A man appeared in front of Jhi Yeonwoo. With a well-built physique and handsome appearance, he was an Alpha who looked extremely good in a black cashmere coat.... more>>

“What flower is this?”

“That’s a marigold. It’s also commonly known as a marigold. There are several varieties, but what you’re looking at is a calendula.”

Even though he seemed unfamiliar with flowers at a glance, he showed interest in the flower language of calendula marigold, which had a negative meaning.

“It’s supposed to hurt someone, not excitement.”

The man who bought the marigold bouquet touched upon a painful memory that he had momentarily set aside. Jhi Yeonwoo thought it was just a passing encounter, but the man appeared in front of him again after a few hours.

“By any chance, does this store offer any benefits for VIPs?”

Introducing himself as Choi Muhyuk, the man asked, “Can things like having a meal or a drink be possible?”

Dragging Jhi Yeonwoo in with unexpected words and actions…

*Characters:

Choi Muhyuk (32 years old, Omega Alpha, 191cm 82kg): He is a manager at Sunwoo Trading, a subsidiary of Sunwoo Group, a rising conglomerate. Despite seeming plausible on the surface, the truth is that Sunwoo Group was built by the gangsters who used to rule the area. Although he takes after his father, Chairman Choi, and has a cold side, he also harbors unexpectedly warm traits. His mundane daily life was unexpectedly disrupted when he met Jhi Yeonwoo on the street, dragged along like a reluctant journey by a flower that caught his eye. As Jhi Yeonwoo described the flower, he seemed to be making a face as if he had touched upon a painful memory. Moreover, despite appearing like an Omega both horizontally and vertically, Yeonwoo didn’t emit any pheromones, which made Muhyuk curious about him, and he gradually became more interested in him.

Jhi Yeonwoo (26 years old, Omega Alpha, 175cm 62kg): Jhi Yeonwoo, who graduated from high school, was swept away by a moment of affection and married a senior. After ending their four-year marriage, the only thing left for Jhi Yeonwoo was a scar of being an Omega afflicted with pheromone deficiency and having only one friend left. Being pushed and shoved by people, Jhi Yeonwoo ended up being alone. Living a life no different from a Beta, one day, a man appeared at ‘Flower Fiance,’ the flower shop Jhi Yeonwoo ran. From the first day they met, the man, who looked good in a black cashmere coat, shook Yeonwoo to the point where he couldn’t regain his composure. <<less

When they first met, Qin Yiyu saw Nan Yi holding a liquor bottle from the doorway, and thought he was there to collect debts.... more>>

But he actually said: “I’m forming a band, to participate in a competition. We’re missing a lead vocalist who can play guitar.”

Qin Yiyu: Oh, it would be better if he came to collect debts.

He agreed in the end, because he didn’t want to give up such a talented bassist.

— Later —

Nan Yi: Qin Yiyu is my target.

Qin Yiyu: (bulb lighting up) likes me.

Nan Yi: We can be friends.

Qin Yiyu: Understood, lip service friendship1. I don’t mind kissing you even though I’m a straight man.

Nan Yi: (inhale)

Qin Yiyu: He really loves me.

—-—

During the competition, no one had high hopes for this new band. Even the staff was talking about it backstage.

“The bassist sure is handsome, but you can’t rely on looks to eat. The drummer is said to have a temper so bad that he’s almost beaten people up. The keyboardist seems to be a bank employee who was fired. Coupled with a popular lead vocalist with a terrible personality who had been kicked out of his previous band, how can this kind of makeshift band win?”

Yet the four of them were right behind them.

Yan Ji: “Get it right, I wasn’t fired but resigned voluntarily, and it was an investment bank, not a bank.”

Chi Zhiyang: “What crap are you spewing! How is my temper bad!”

Qin Yiyu: “In such a long sentence, only the first four words are worth hearing. A person as perfect as myself, the only people who can insult me are either my close friends, or the reincarnation of the violin— a worthless thing.”

Staff: (embarrassed) (cold sweat) (speechless)

Nan Yi said coldly: “Excuse me, the grassroot band is about to go on stage.”
