Lying on one corner of the large bed, El woke up with a start.
Rubbing her slightly swollen eyes and blinking, she realized something was different than usual.
It was not under the eaves where she used to sleep, curled up.
Her round eyes observed the glamorous ceiling and the bedding wrapped around her body one by one.
‘Still in the Duke’s house.’
El quickly rose to her feet, realizing that she was still in an extraordinary place.
To be exact, she jumped up, only for her vision to spin, causing her to fall back down again.
‘What’s this?’
El silently screamed.
Her drugged body hurt everywhere and it was painful that it wouldn’t move as she wished.
What’s more, her escape plan had utterly failed.
‘Nothing goes right.’
El rested her arm on her forehead and groaned, “Ugh.”
Then, she suddenly wondered, ‘How did I fall asleep last night?’
Continuing to think, El looked at her hand.
One hand in particular felt different. It seemed as if someone else’s body heat remained.
“Could it be…….”
She was alone in the spacious room. But it didn’t feel like she was alone.
‘Someone stayed by my side all night.’
El thought that holding onto someone’s warmth was a joyful thing indeed.
A smile formed naturally on her lips, and a lively red hue swirled on her dry and dull cheeks.
‘I must have been able to sleep because they held my hand.’
“A good…… person.”
El looked at the chair where he had been sitting.
She had been terrified of thunder and lightning.
In her younger days, when she was more naive, she was captured by slave traders and placed on a ship without knowing where it was going.
That ship was wrecked by a typhoon, and El had to rely on a broken plank of wood to be carried ashore.
She had to endure the waves that seemed to swallow everything until she set foot on land, along with the pouring rain and the striking thunder and lightning.
That experience remained as a trauma, making rainy days horrific.
El thought she would have to live with this fear forever.
But last night, miraculously, she had fallen asleep.
“A truly kind person. If you keep treating me so well…… Oh, what should I do?”
Her face, close to joy, twisted in an instant, and her small hands covered her eyes.
She realized that once she left this place, the fear would return.
If she hadn’t known, it would be better, but having experienced this relief once, it was too sweet.
El realized, in this silent space, left entirely alone, how much this current experience would affect her.
Look at it now.
Just a moment ago, she lamented her inability to escape, but her heart quickly changed shape.
‘I’m in trouble. It would have been better to have lived without knowing this all my life.’
When she hadn’t experienced it, she knew nothing, so life outside was fine.
But after this cozy experience, she became greedy.
And then the fear of losing all this came rushing in.
‘It was never mine to begin with. It’s not mine, so it can’t last forever. I shouldn’t hope for more.’
El took a deep breath and slapped her cheeks.
It hurt enough to make the tears dry up, but it helped to clear her thoughts.
There was no lingering attachment to something she couldn’t have.
She had been abandoned from birth, and nothing was ever hers.
This was just a fleeting fortune passing by.
El felt it was better not to have it in the first place and to let go of it herself.
‘I don’t want to cause trouble for those people, and this lifestyle doesn’t suit me. Let’s get my head straight.’
El clenched her teeth, covering her eyes.
She took a deep breath, deciding to leave this place right now, and got out of bed.
That’s when she stepped on a pair of large, illfitting slippers.
“What should I do…….”
El wondered whether to wear the soft, furry slippers.
But her hesitation didn’t last long.
It seemed to be a matter of etiquette to wear slippers here, so she quickly slipped her feet in and started walking.
But after taking a few steps, one of the slippers came off.
“See, this is what happens.”
The illfitting slippers seemed to tell her that she did not belong here.
It woke her up to the fact that she could be overwhelmed and killed at any moment.
‘When did I ever wear such a thing? It doesn’t suit me.’
El took off her slippers with a flutter, thinking they were not meant for her, and set them down neatly. Just by taking off a single shoe, she felt lighter on her feet.
She thought that this way was much more comfortable for her, and suited her more than having something proper.
What she experienced here was just a brief play in her arduous life.
She wanted to think of meeting an angel in her dreams as making one good memory.
‘I met some very kind and considerate people, and thanks to them, I lived like a human for the first time in my life. Above all, I got a really pretty name and was even called by it.’
With her small feet, El pitterpattered across the wide room and bowed deeply at the door.
“I received your gift well.”
She did not know which side the Duke’s people were on, but El expressed her heart sincerely.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
