Seoyoungās life was in danger and, to be honest, my throat got sore, so I couldnāt cry anymore.
After crying for 10 long days, I realized something.
The gloomy reality is that no matter how much I cry, the situation Iām in wonāt change.
Being in the world of martial arts, being the daughter of Cheonma, an esteemed public figure, and being killed by the male lead. Nothing has changed.
āI thought it was fateā¦ā¦.ā
I thought I was finally compensated for my past lifetime of poverty and hardships.
So, even though I didnāt see my parentsā faces until I was 100 days old, I didnāt care.
I grew up as an orphan in my previous life, so I had no expectations of my new parents.
Furthermore, since I was blessed with someone like older sister Seoyoung next to me, I wasnāt lacking affection.
āIt was good back thenā¦ā¦.ā
With the knowledge that Iām inside the den of the villain of the world of martial arts, my room, which used to be the most comfortable in the world, now made me uneasy.
The protagonist of this novel is Yeon.
He was kidnapped by Cheonma at the age of three, raised to be a (sociopath) strong and powerful leader, before escaping at the age of 23.
Through various achievements, he will then become a typical martial arts hero who plays a role in the series five years later when he becomes a great high-ranking official.
The reason Yeon was able to beat the villain, Cheonma, was because he got help from the Murim-in.
The Murim-in has long been unable to bury the world of martial arts and Cheonma away from the public.
Thatās why itās frustrating.
Going the classical route of bringing the father, who is not interested in his daughter, over to your side by making him soften through childcare and parenting does not seem to be working when it comes to Cheonma.
Even dogs are at least a bit more like humans, arenāt they? They are not emotionless monsters like Cheonma.
āItās my destiny.ā
Actually, I didnāt have a great plan.
Thereās no way to do it right now, so for now Iām going to make a little fuss for the most powerful man in the country.
That way, you wonāt be able to tell what Iām doing, right?
In the original story, Chun Lihua never learned martial arts because she hated becoming dirty and sweaty from all the work, but I am different.
Even if I have to roll and roll on the ground so much to the point I can no longer recognize the colour of my face, even if my body starts smelling pungent all over, Iām definitely going to learn martial arts.
That way, Iāll be able to survive even if I decide to run away.
If a woman is to live alone in the middle of Jungwon, her ability to protect her body is important.
Yes. I intend to escape from this villainās den.
Iām going to run to the ends of the earth. Youāre not going to chase after me all the way there, are you?
Iāll hide myself in a rural village, waiting for Yeon to defeat the villain. Until the original story is over.
The problem was Cheonma. I wasnāt confident that I could win in a fight of martial arts against that cold-blooded, ruthless man, much less get him to teach me.
Look at that stern expression. You could break rocks with that hard-looking face.
I turned my head away while Cheonma stared at me.
Letās aptly give up and try to target someone else.
Of course, no one likes me, but Iām still the daughter of your leader, so wonāt you teach me?
Then, the door opened and someone came in.
āUgh!ā
Before I even checked who it was, I could tell that it was the first person I ever saw.
Out of all people Iāve met so far, no one else has had such a strong scent.
āWho is this lady?ā
Wearing crimson red dress robes with her bright hair done up, she was a beautiful woman with lips painted red.
āMaster, youāre here.ā
She laughed coquettishly. She covered her mouth with her fingertips and looked at me with a light smile. She was so seductive that it was hard to take your eyes off of her.
However, Cheonma did not look at her, far from it. Instead of staring, he acted as if there was no one there at all.
The womanās smile hardened for a brief moment, perhaps because her pride had been hurt. Then, she smiled even more splendidly, as if sheād never smiled so brightly before.
āI heard youāve been visiting our daughter lately. Since Iāve become a mother now Iām so sorry for my daughter, because Iām sick I canāt even move my weak body for her. So, thanks to the nanny Iām a little embarrassed. But, thank you very much.ā
āHuh? Is that my mom?ā
Was there ever anything about Chun Lihuaās mother in the original story?
As far as I remember, Chun Lihua never missed or mentioned her mother.
From the beginning, Chun Lihuaās mother was not with her fatherās, Cheonmaās, family, so I thought she was dead.
But what is this, youāre still alive?
She came up to me and picked me up without permission.
āMy daughter, how much have you missed your mother? Youāve been very patient.ā
Ugh, the smell of perfume!
Ajumma, please get away from me!

She just gave me a smile and forced me to embrace her as she squeezed me. I clenched my teeth together, my jaw muscles tightening so that it was visibly protruding.
Hey! Iām not such an easy baby! Are you trying to play the role of a parent when youāre showing up now all of a sudden?
It was then.
I felt a sting in my side, as if I had been stabbed by a skewer.
