Seoyoungâs life was in danger and, to be honest, my throat got sore, so I couldnât cry anymore.
After crying for 10 long days, I realized something.
The gloomy reality is that no matter how much I cry, the situation Iâm in wonât 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.
âI thought it was fateâŚâŚ.â
I thought I was finally compensated for my past lifetime of poverty and hardships.
So, even though I didnât see my parentsâ faces until I was 100 days old, I didnât 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 wasnât lacking affection.
âIt was good back thenâŚâŚ.â
With the knowledge that Iâm 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.
Thatâs why itâs 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, arenât they? They are not emotionless monsters like Cheonma.
âItâs my destiny.â
Actually, I didnât have a great plan.
Thereâs no way to do it right now, so for now Iâm going to make a little fuss for the most powerful man in the country.
That way, you wonât be able to tell what Iâm 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, Iâm definitely going to learn martial arts.
That way, Iâll 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 villainâs den.
Iâm going to run to the ends of the earth. Youâre not going to chase after me all the way there, are you?
Iâll hide myself in a rural village, waiting for Yeon to defeat the villain. Until the original story is over.
The problem was Cheonma. I wasnât 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.
Letâs aptly give up and try to target someone else.
Of course, no one likes me, but Iâm still the daughter of your leader, so wonât you teach me?
Then, the door opened and someone came in.
âUgh!â
Before I even checked who it was, I could tell that it was the first person I ever saw.
Out of all people Iâve met so far, no one else has had such a strong scent.
âWho is this lady?â
Wearing crimson red dress robes with her bright hair done up, she was a beautiful woman with lips painted red.
âMaster, youâre here.â
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 womanâs smile hardened for a brief moment, perhaps because her pride had been hurt. Then, she smiled even more splendidly, as if sheâd never smiled so brightly before.
âI heard youâve been visiting our daughter lately. Since Iâve become a mother now Iâm so sorry for my daughter, because Iâm sick I canât even move my weak body for her. So, thanks to the nanny Iâm a little embarrassed. But, thank you very much.â
âHuh? Is that my mom?â
Was there ever anything about Chun Lihuaâs mother in the original story?
As far as I remember, Chun Lihua never missed or mentioned her mother.
From the beginning, Chun Lihuaâs mother was not with her fatherâs, Cheonmaâs, family, so I thought she was dead.
But what is this, youâre still alive?
She came up to me and picked me up without permission.
âMy daughter, how much have you missed your mother? Youâve been very patient.â
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! Iâm not such an easy baby! Are you trying to play the role of a parent when youâre 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.
