On the day of the king's wedding, blessed by all, the late king's illegitimate son started a rebellion.... more>>

The king, who was to be her husband, fled, leaving Ines behind in the castle, and that once-great family fell into ruin. As she sensed the end was near, she was merely waiting for death.

“Here you are. I thought you might have run away.”

A deep voice, reminiscent of a deep cave, resonated in the room. It was a familiar voice, one that had once whispered kind words to her.

“Oh, was it difficult because of your leg?”

Carlos Ivan. Though he was the king's son, he was ignored and scorned by everyone due to his lowly mother. But now he had ascended to a position that no one could disregard.

“Please, end it quickly. For the sake of the old affection we once shared….”

“Oh, how unfortunate. I have no intention of ending it quickly.”

Carlos gently wiped the tears from her cheek.

“You will become my wife.”

The blood on his hand stained Ines's skin.

“Everything my brother had is now mine. Naturally, my sister-in-law should be mine too.”

It was a vulgar proposal. <<less

Mia has lived a life built entirely on lies, as a stand-in, a decoy, a shadow.... more>>

But for once, she risked everything on a single, secret contract with one man.

Dylan Reinhardt, her husband in name only.

The agreement? To betray her homeland so that his nation might win the war.

The contract was executed perfectly.

Or so she thought.

“Mia Blair, you have not fulfilled the contract properly.”

An absurd claim.

He dared to cite a clause she hadn’t even paid attention to until now:

“Party A and Party B must fulfill their duties as a married couple, including maintaining regular conjugal relations.”

Was every hint of warmth, affection, or sympathy he'd shown her… just part of his game?

“If you don’t understand, memorize it. You and I, we are husband and wife.”

Crushed by betrayal, Mia vows to make him pay dearly.

If you truly love me, I hope you suffer for it.

So that our final journey, its memories, will stay carved into your heart, aching for a long, long time.

Our Summer Is not over. <<less

“What flower is this?”

“That’s a marigold. It’s commonly known as a marigold. There are several varieties, but what you’re looking at is a calendula.”

Even though he seemed unfamiliar with flowers at a glance, he showed interest in the flower language of calendula marigold, which had a negative meaning.

“It’s supposed to hurt someone, not excitement.”

The man who bought the marigold bouquet touched upon a painful memory that he had momentarily set aside. Jhi Yeonwoo thought it was just a passing encounter, but the man appeared in front of him again after a few hours.
