The acting of the villain who was crazy in love was now over.... more>>

Lacey’s plan to run away from everything and set off in search of freedom had been perfect, at least until the moment when she was supposed to be paid.

Because what Lacey held in her hand was not a check, but a wanted leaflet with her face on it.

“Yes?”

“The role I want for you to play is simple.” Leaning against the window, he smiled. “You, who I brought from an exotic country, fell in love with me at first sight.”

“Who are you? What do you want me to do?”

He raised the corner of his mouth to Lacey, who was stood frozen. With just that look in his eyes, he closed in onto the frozen Lacey.

“I look forward to your acting that is convincing to anyone.”

Instead of the villain’s mask, it was time to use a white veil.

“Don’t forget. Now we’re on the same boat.”

“While we’re on it… I’ll tell you when you’ll get on the other ship.”

“You’re on it now, aren’t you?”

Looking at her, he slowly l**ked his lips.

“A boat other than this boat.”

“…….”

Her gaze stopped in one place. Lacey realized it belatedly and groaned. It was too early to say that he could eat using his desires.

“Come here, my bride.” <<less

There are untold secrets and mysteries in this world. As time passes and species evolve, many DNA mutations happen within the environment, creating four new... more>> species: Yiwo, Xiuman, Bisite, and Keyou. Each species has its own mysterious power, determined by the “fire seed” it possess. Yiwo can change elements, Xiuman controls mechanical objects, Bisite organizes evolution, and Keyou controls necromancy, so the four groups have distinctly different lives.

The Yiwo has a lifespan of ninety years, the Xiuman eighty years, the Bisite lives to be fifty years due to their ferocious fighting, and the Keyou average 120 years. As more research is done and journals from ancestors are found, it’s realized that if the four species combined the four “fire seeds,” eternal life is possible, but to gather all of them would trigger a war. <<less

Leaving the byproduct of the contracted marriage, their child, with him.

“My baby, there are things in the world you just can’t love.”

So, after leaving that single comment, she turned away.

Pretending not to notice the unfaltering gaze in front of her. <<less
