Her warmth is still not gone from the bed. Her scent has not faded. Li Jun touches the spot where she was lying a minute ago. He has seen something similar twenty years ago. For twenty years, he thought that the maid was a spirit who came to save him. Now, he knows who that was. They wore the same clothes. They had the same face. They even had the same way of talking. For twenty years, he kept that secret in his heart. When she reappeared in front of him, he couldn't recognize her. The person from his…-

Not again! This doesn't look like the 21st century at all. It looks like I am in a garden. Young girls are walking around in robes with boxes in their hands. The buildings look like historical sites. I have a bad feeling about this. "You, slave! What are you doing here?" A plump woman in plain robes scowls at me. "The kitchen needs help." Slave. I open my mouth to say that I am not a slave. But, she pulls me by my hair and drags me to the kitchen before I can utter a word. "You are new. So, I would let…

It's been a few days. They are already on their way to the capital. Kyuri spends most of her time inside the carriage that the prince arranged for her. She barely talks to anyone except General Yu. At night, they halt at the inn. At midnight, she tries to sneak into her aunt's room to talk. But, she is caught by Li Jun. He drags her back to her room despite her protest. He closes the door and crosses his arms. They stare at each other quietly until she can no longer hold it. "Oi, Li Jun!" She looks like…

I walk out in a fit of anger. I agree. This is not the 21st century. The emperor's words are the freaking law. Arrange marriages are common. Forced marriages are more common. If my aunt hasn't been there for me, I can't imagine what would have happened to me. I should have pretended to be a man like her. I wonder how she lived. I ignore the glances and go to the edge of the camp. I sit down on the snow and make circles. I need to think. Marrying Li Jun is unacceptable. I must run, but where? Someone…

"Oi!" She grabs his hair. "Kang Si An! You psychopath! Why are you kidnapping me, huh?" Li Jun is also wondering why, but he doesn't know the answer. He takes her to his tent and lays her down on the bed. She doesn't let go of his hair. Impatiently, he grabs her fingers and separates them one by one. She pouts at him. "You are a bad man." He is something worse than a bad man. "Why do you keep trying to kill me?" She looks at him with grievances. "What did I do wrong?" Li Jun realizes that she must…

"So, this is the woman." The fifth prince, Wu Yixing, let out soft laughter. "My friend Yu Chen, you rejected all the women from the capital and picked up someone from a battleground." Kwon Yoori smiles politely at him, but her insides feel like they are rotting because of the anger buried inside her for a long time. Back in the capital, he would drag her to the flower house every day and make her watch things that she would never want to see as a woman. He would throw her inside a room with a woman. One…

"Let go of her." Kwon Yoori grabs her niece's shoulder. "How dare you touch my woman?" She doesn't like speaking this way about another female. But, Kyuri is her niece. She wants to keep her alive as long as she can. She also has to act because she claimed Kyuri as her woman yesterday. What kind of general would let his claimed woman get bullied by another man? Wait, Kyuri is the one who went to get bullied. Aish! This girl is too troublesome. Thankfully, Li Jun let go of the girl. Kyuri frowns deeply…

Loud noises wake me up from my dreams... or nightmares. I don't have to pretend to be tired. She made me make weird noises all night until my throat hurt. I never thought that I would do things like this with my aunt. I find the robe and a large black coat. I wonder what is going on outside. I change my clothes and walk out. Men are packing up. I understand only little of what they are saying. Some of them stare at me and laugh. I glare at them. Alright, I have to pretend that my lady bits hurt. So, I…

"I don't understand." It feels like she is speaking gibberish. "I wasn't supposed to be born? A special pawn? If we go by the original timeline, my brother was also not supposed to be born." She tears off a paper from the notebook and starts writing with a brush. "In the original timeline, everyone except me died in the accident. The only reason why I lived because I was time-traveling for fun." She draws the second line. "When I found out, I changed the future. A new timeline was created. where my…

The girl is frightened to the core. She can barely beg for mercy. Li Jun is ready to cut her down in half. The girl is at the wrong place at the wrong time. "Li Jun." She calls out his name. He stops halfway and cocks his head as if asking why he should stop. He barely ever talks. She doesn't blame him. His past is full of blood and sorrows. She gets off the horse. She realizes that something is odd with the girl. Her hair is dyed brown. Her facial features are different. Her clothes are instant give…
