In the end… Jiang Li did not manage to shake off the persistent woman. And it made him wonder whether the binding power of the plot in this world was quite lax. If it was, then it was simply so damnably… hateful. Throughout the journey, it was like he was stalked by several people wearing the same skin. Did she say she only has three personalities within her? Excluding the main, one was a child, and the other, a student-like fellow who loved to compose and sing weird songs. Bullsh*t! There were…-

Since it was nighttime and the place was paid by Jiang Li, he didn't think twice before entering the room even though there was a woman inside. He had no interest in her anyway and was even quite disdainful of her as she showed him a guarded expression. His reaction made Aliyah breathe a sigh of relief, although she also felt complicated. Was she that lacking in charm? Or perhaps, what she did when her other personality surfaced was just too shocking for him? She suddenly felt like crying. "First of all.…

"... Where the hell am I?" she asked herself after realizing she was not in her room or anywhere in the castle. The girl fought the fear sprouting from within and tried to remember what took place after she successfully escaped from the street thugs. It seemed… she was with the fake messenger who kept trying to shoo her away? What then? She got up and lightly massaged her back waist. It was aching due to hours of lying on a hard bed which she was not used to. Her expression contorted due to the pain…

"You are so cruel back then." The female lead kept saying. "What if I am not a fast runner? You'd let me end up toyed by those people?" Jiang Li was carrying a huge rattan basket behind him. On his face was an ever-present frown. He had been hearing the same voice and question over and over again that he felt so tired of saying his point. 'Why the heck is she still following me?' A second later, he groaned. 'Is this incessant questioning and pestering an act of revenge against me?' The young man long…

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Church of Wisdom… "Huuuh…" Bishop Gregory breathed in and out and then repeated the set of actions several times. Yet the aching in his chest barely eased up. It would not be hard to imagine how embarrassed and ashamed the bishop and his colleagues were feeling after the incident. Imagine it. They had just fed, clothed, and almost worshiped a fake messenger! Blasphemy! It was really blasphemy! And they all felt like they had sinned so greatly for falling into that…

"Make way!" While the voice was echoing outside, Aliyah was whimpering after accidentally bumping her head on the edge of the seat there. She involuntary closed her eyes, her body curled into a ball inside the rocky floor. Within her mind, curses kept raining. Seconds ago, did someone put a curse on her? Why did she jump in shock when the obese man fell? Even if that was a normal reaction, why jump in the wrong direction. The girl kept scolding herself even though she knew that the 'what ifs' and…

When he first awoke in his current body, he thought he was a tramp. After all, he was sleeping in the open, leaning against a wall wearing a dirty brown robe with no blanket or anything to cover him. Thankfully, it was summer, so he didn't freeze to death. Still, the experience was pretty… strange… Negative thoughts could not help but sprout. Yet when he learned the truth, that he was not at least a beggar, he didn't feel comforted at all. What was a wandering philosopher? How do people like them…

The youth ignored the two church higher-ups who were already planning how and where to crucify him. His eyes were at the girl walking in front. To the unreliable being in his mind, he asked, 'Hey, system. Answer me. Why is there another female lead in this world? Didn't you say it's the princess confronting the royal concubine Agatha, not a daughter of a Viscount?' The priests had clearly introduced Marian as the heiress of a Viscounty. Believers of the Goddess of Wisdom were arrogant and stubborn when…

Aliyah was invited by the priest to the Church of Wisdom. She visibly hesitated so the other thought it was due to the assassination attempt on her life a month ago. But that was not actually the case. The man put some effort into reassuring her safety with the church's knight, simply unaware that she was totally not interested in meeting whoever got captured by them. She couldn't tell him this reason though, right? "I'm sorry, Reverend. I've been feeling a little under the weather these past few…

Days later… Although indifferent to her most of the time, the Viscount rushed back from the capital just to confirm the situation in his castle. Most likely, the nobleman was alarmed after hearing she was targeted outside the castle in one of her impromptu trips. He looked tired and weary when he was welcomed by the family, yet instead of going upstairs to rest, he looked at Aliyah and began to interrogate her. It was an interrogation that later turned into a stern lecture. When it showed no stopping…
