Despite Ashin's provocation, he didn't even flinch. "I'm curious why you stepped back." "Because I didn't want to make a mistake with you. That's all." "Then didn't you think about even having a conversation? You don't hate me, do you? You were clearly in the barracks, but said you weren't, and you didn't come to the waterfront, nor did you stay at the lord's castle during the move. All of that was just a coincidence?" Was he ashamed of responding to the seduction of a mere commoner?…-

"That's just your narrow-minded opinion." "It's not just my opinion, though?" "I am the Emperor of the Empire, so assume I hold more cards than you all." "Judging by your reluctance to tell us, it must be a serious matter related to Ailem." Vize quietly looked down at the balding head of Izodin, who was grinning. A mere High Priest, yet he was so brazen, flaunting his seniority. "Did the Grand High Priest order you to dig something up? You seem quite preoccupied." "Who…

It wasn't a difficult task. Disposing of a body was as simple as paying the incinerator next to the Ant Tunnel. Since then, messages like this arrived every now and then, just when she was about to forget. Every time Choi Baekyoung replied to the woman, she felt as if she were waiting for her death. Now that she seemed to have a friend to go see the cherry blossoms with, should she tell her to stop contacting each other and live well when she contacted her next time? Whirr. Cold…-

The magic wasn't a spell that directly killed, but Ashin cleared the path with it so that Leotar's army could kill with ease. In doing so, she protected the continent's water source and saved the lives that depended on it. "Then why did you come?" At the trembling voice, Jimunda clicked her tongue and turned her head away. "Why did you come!" Ashin squeezed her eyes shut and shouted, scattering the tears that had welled up into the air. Instead of Jimunda, who remained silent,…

The envoys who had been flocking in even before the wedding ceremony were endless, still passing through the main gate of the Imperial Palace. The outside of the window was noisy. The sound of a horn announcing someone's arrival seemed to have rung dozens of times. Moreover, so many people had gathered that the murmur of the crowd reached Ashin beyond the window. Ashin glanced out the window between the maids clinging to her, and soon her face turned pale. "Ahem, you must stay…

“You're crazy, Choi Baekyoung.” To avoid Jang Heejo’s gaze, which was so blatantly directed at her, she felt like she had to cling to Taekyung somehow. Baekyoung belatedly found a mirror she hadn't looked at in a long time. After pushing back her bangs, she stared at herself in the mirror for a long while. She wondered if there was something there, but she couldn't feel anything from herself. Lying her tired body on the hard mattress, Baekyoung pulled the blanket that Jang Heejo had…

There's no such thing as a good thing here. So, you had to find something to smile about even in such small acts of kindness. Otherwise, your mood would hit rock bottom in no time, and you would be more likely to fall into bad temptations. After Sooyoung passed away, Baekyoung began to see the world through different eyes. Even a shitty Ant Tunnel like this was still a place where people live. So, there's also kindness exchanged between people. And the kindness contained in the respirator and the…

Choi Baekyoung's birth mother was rumored to be Choi Mihyun, a woman Chairman Jang used to keep close in the past. Kim Kwangsoo dredged up Choi Mihyun's face from memories over 20 years old.

Choi Baekyoung could be one of Chairman Jang's many illegitimate children, or not. "Ah, right. Here." After finishing his cigarette, Kim Kwangsoo finally threw…

“You earn enough to live on, but you’re still greedy. What, are you trying to leave the Ant Tunnel too?” “How can I live if I leave this place? I don’t even have an ID.” “You’re thinking straight. If you’re born in the Ant Tunnel, you should die in the Ant Tunnel. Even if it’s fucked up here, it’s even more fucked up outside.” Baekyoung actually wanted to leave more than anyone, but she calmly hid that desire. Even the cell phone she was currently using was…

Despite the somber atmosphere, the sandwich went down smoothly. She needed to eat quickly, gather her strength, and look for work for the day. Just as Taekyung's palm casually landed on the crown of Baekyoung's head, the loosely fitted door swung open. "What's this? Are you two dating?" Jang Heejo asked, his brow furrowed, looking the same as he had when he'd entered her place yesterday. "Yeah. We decided to start seeing each other today." Taekyung affirmed, when Heejo had probably…
