Pia survived a plague that swept the entire city.... more>>

While struggling to find a job in a city that was almost in ruins, she was offered a job as a tutor at a job agency.

Pia arrives at Depodil House, a mansion nestled in a field close to a wasteland thousands of kilometers from the city.

In Depodil House lived Henry Dale, a sickly man with a young son.

The employees are gloomy and speechless.

Henry Dale, an employer who rarely gets out of his bedroom due to his weakness.

And Leon, Henry’s young son, whom Pia must teach.

Pia, who is teaching and caring for seven-year-old Leon, who follows her very well, discovers signs of abuse in Leon.

Was it that sickly Baron Henry Dale who was abusing Leon?

From the day Pia begins to doubt that Henry, strange things begin to happen to her.

‘It wasn’t a dream.’

Pia, who had a relationship with a man with no face in her dream, thought it was a dream, but the next day she discovers that it was not a dream through the naked traces left in her bed.

‘It’s the dream again.’

However, the le*d dreams continue, and Pia suspects that Henry is the one who beats her every night.

Convinced that he was doing something like this after putting her to sleep in the tea she was drinking, Pia pretended to drink the tea, hid the knife under her pillow, and pretended to be asleep, waiting for the night to come.

And just after the wall clock rang the midnight bell, Pia heard the door to her bedroom open.

The door to the bedroom opened and the sound of footsteps approaching the bed drew closer, and Pia, who was wielding a sword hidden under the pillow at the man riding on top, she was stunned by the identity of the man in front of her . <<less

“You are pregnant.”... more>>

She heard a sound like a clear rip off.

“Am I pregnant?”

“Yes, you are pregnant.”

Ingrid’s face turned white.

The doctor calmly said that she was pregnant, pregnant, and pregnant several times, and each time Ingrid’s complexion got worse and worse.

“Whose child is this ?”

Ingrid asked the doctor like a fool.

“How would I know that?”

right. How will the doctor know who the father of the child in my womb is?

But Ingrid didn’t know either. Who the hell is this kid’s father?

“Pregnant?!”

The stepmother, fearing that his father would fall when he will found out about it, decides with a sad expression on her face.

“I can’t do anything for the family. I have no choice but to choose someone quickly and get you married.”

“You mean hiding my pregnancy?”

no. How can you get married while wearing a human mask and hiding the fact that you are pregnant?

Then the person who will become a husband should know and raise a child who is not his or her own, does that make sense?

Isn’t that what humans do?

“then. Will you go into the convent, give birth to this child, send the child to orphanage, and live as a nun for the rest of your life?”

No, how could you say such a scary thing.

I hate being a nun and I hate sending my children to an orphanage.

“If you don’t want to be like that, do what I tell you.”

“But no matter how quickly we get married, it would take two months. What should I do if the date of birth does not match?”

“You can call it premature birth.”

“No matter how premature… … .”

“You can start with the speeding violation and insist that it is a premature birth a month earlier.”

no, mother. Do you think that’s possible?

Reluctantly, Ingrid follows her stepmother’s scheme and starts looking for a man to speed up.

And a man caught in Ingrid’s eyes.

It was Ian Gray, the man in question who had proposed to her the other day and was rejected.

Duke Ian Gray has a history of being divorced once due to tuberculosis and prostheticism.

That man was perfect. <<less

In the palace's underground, there is an ancient prison.

[Do not ever go down there. There is a snake.]

A forbidden phrase that I've heard since I was a child.

Do not go to the underground prison to see the trapped snake.

"If the snake is released, the country will perish."

[That snake is a calamity that will ruin the country.]

Out of curiosity, against the advice of adults, Cheong-Ah went down to the underground prison and saw a pitch-black, gigantic snake confined behind iron bars.

The fear-stricken Cheong-Ah ran away from there upon making eye contact with the snake, and as time passed, she forgot about its existence.

On the day when those who coveted the throne invaded the palace after her father's death, Cheong-Ah recalls the snake in the underground prison.

"If the country is going to perish anyway, I'll make it perish with my own hands."

Instead of letting the kingdom fall into the hands of greedy individuals, Cheong-Ah decides to open the door of the underground prison, and the snake that has been imprisoned there for a long time is awakened. <<less

White like the snow and rosy like a flower.
She was so lovely, but how could this have happened to her?... more>>

It doesn’t matter how lovely she looks on the outside.
When one has a glimpse of what is inside, they will see all the dirty, lustful thoughts.

EunSeo, the youngest daughter of Lord Yoon YeoPyung, has been abandoned by her husband and has returned. She has come to recuperate at the family’s country home. Within half a month, the elderly housekeeper has hurt her hip, causing her to leave.
And for the next ten days…
She must live in this secluded house with the robust young man, MuGyeom. Just the two of them. <<less

A woman’s pale shoulder and back appeared in the dark. Soon, a scalding iron brand approached her skin. The iron branded her skin with ‘娼’ to indicate her stigma as a prostitute. With this stamped on her body, she was now branded as a prostitute and could no longer escape this status for the rest of her life.... more>>

Amidst the pain burning into her flesh, she remembered. The man who had ruined her family. The man who had killed her family. The man she had once loved. She would have her revenge.

***

EunSeo’s eyes widened in astonishment and fear.

After she had decided to accept her fate as a prostitute, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to reject anyone.

However, not this man. She would accept every other man in the world, but she could never give herself to this man.

“I…” He opened his mouth and spoke in a low, grave voice. “I bought you.” <<less
