I met Even just as I was getting used to this world. A month ago, I woke up in this guy’s body. Believe it or not, this place seems to be a world from a book.a4ccbe4c424f794e

I realized it after reading a diary I found by chance. A book lying slanted on the nightstand next to the bed. As I guessed, it was a diary. It was like a report summarizing the day’s activities.3b4fe64669eeb7f8

The handwriting was familiar. I wasn’t in a mental state to figure out why exactly. I just read the diary and it helped me a lot.0b11ff8883147aa0

At least I could understand my situation from this guy’s perspective. This guy was a fallen noble managing a village called Chasto in the west. His parents passed away five years ago, and all that was left was a house on a 50-pyeong plot.b8d375d4dda55683

He cultivated a small garden, selling the harvest or storing it as food. It was a ridiculously poor life, and because he still held a noble title, he couldn’t even do manual labor.2b5bcd4339cd5b24

If I had transmigrated 9f0e188793 into a wealthy family ab045be990 with money to burn, 07a4f3db66 I would have denied 54fdc9c409 reality. But being stuck in 03f6d22bcb a dirt-poor life slapped 7bdf011c5b me with a harsh d448f00cbe sense of reality.7de3e000df81e070

The book I read, “The Bloody Throne,” is a peculiar fantasy novel. It’s peculiar enough that even some men can have children. Although there wasn’t much about Shashar in the novel, I didn’t think much of it. But did he really have a child in a man’s body?c17dfb86ce4d7ac6

To someone like me, who was born and raised as a healthy man, this was a situation that felt quite dissonant. But that’s not the only problem. There’s something even more significant than the fact that men can have children.fda25737e347c4e8

If this is indeed the world from the book, Shashar Elpafh will soon die. The cause is a man named Karlos. Shashar’s husband. And the father of Shion, the protagonist of “The Bloody Throne.”693e95d629d5922b

Seriously. In the end, dee76f263e my neck started b64d5ddadb to ache. Calm down. I thought carefully. Did Shashar have a 69e6489003 hidden child?dcba4b54d018298f

Enjoy best reading experience at Lily on the Valley

The boy seemed to 20a757eabe be about ten years c661849a7d old. Ten. Shashar is 8bca42793c twenty-three now, c9bb075f32 so if e60f458350 she had d8a546a565 a child, cd7ac0695f she would 920dd6fc90 have been 759ebb7f5e pregnant at 00ea2b0f66 twelve.425f9b24f97edf41

Did Shashar commit such an immoral act, far beyond the moral code? No way. Or maybe he’s a sibling? Perhaps he lost his mother early and grew up thinking of Shashar as his mom. I tried to understand it that way, but thinking about it, Shashar’s father was diagnosed as impotent right after Shashar was born, so he couldn’t have had more children. If the mother had an affair, the village would have been buzzing with rumors.d70cc4613a9a1c8d
