Geom Mugeuk

When Geom Mugeuk returned to the past after the fall of his sect, he brought with him a single, heavy regret: his fiancé.

In her previous life, that betrothal to the bastard son of a middle sect had been nothing more than a political arrangement. For years, Mugeuk treated him with cold indifference, ignoring his attempts to connect. Even as the war of succession intensified and Hwa Moogi began to destroy everything, her betrothed remained by her side until the day he gave his life to save her. It was only upon reading his diaries after his death that Mugeuk discovered the pain, loneliness, and humiliation that man had silently endured, along with an unwavering concern for him.

Determined to change that tragic ending, Mugeuk began a persistent and perplexing courtship this second time around. He started sending him medicine, food, and gifts, seeking any excuse to be near him and trying to strike up a conversation, only provoking a deep distrust in the man who had previously barely tolerated his presence.

Unable to confess the tragedy of her past life or the burden of having read his last words, Mugeuk simply justified her sudden change of heart with a desire to know him better. Before the incredulous gaze of her fiancé, she vowed not to stop. She wasn't seeking immediate forgiveness, nor did she expect it to be reciprocated; her sole aim was to restore that person's dignity, his peace of mind, the salvation of his sect, and a life where he would never again have to write those sorrowful diaries.
