Chapter 1
‘What?’
I blinked stupidly, my eyes fluttering open and closed.
‘What am I doing right now?’
My mind, bleached white and empty, churned sluggishly back to life.
What on earth was I doing?
Why was I sprawled face-down on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably, tears and snot streaming down my face?
‘Why?’
Why was I clutching at an Unknown Man’s pant leg, begging?
“Let go.”
At that moment, a voice sharp as a falling blade cut through the air. I jolted in alarm and lifted my head. In that instant, I met a gaze so cold it pierced through me.
Eyes like glacial ice, utterly devoid of warmth.
‘Oh….’
Beautiful.
I had never seen a man so perfectly deserving of the word beautiful.
Delicate features as intricate as transparent glass shards, and hair that shimmered like silver thread. The brilliance in those eyes was so dazzling that I instinctively furrowed my brow.
In the next moment, a cold smile curved at the corner of the man’s mouth.
“How truly bothersome.”
“….”
“Did you think this would make me look your way? No. If anything, it’s repulsive.”
“….”
“I told you to let go.”
Was he speaking to me?
“If you don’t release me, I’ll slit your wrist, Kanna Adis.”
His tone was delivered calmly and methodically, with such impeccable courtesy that the content of his words seemed unbelievable.
‘Kanna?’
Yet the man had spoken my name with perfect accuracy.
It was certain. Right now, the woman clinging to this blindingly beautiful man was me.
Finally, strength drained from my hands. Only then did the man turn on his heel and stride away. Bang! The door slammed shut.
“Ah, this is insane.”
Left alone in the room, I finally moved my lips after a long moment.
“Is this a dream? Huh?”
Why was I in such a state in this place?
Until just moments ago, I—Kanna—had been in Korea.
Korea. That place was a world I had never known.
I had no idea how I ended up there or what reason brought me there.
One day I simply opened my eyes to find myself in Korea, possessing the body of a girl named Lee Ju-hwa.
At first, I thought I had gone mad.
So Kanna Adis has finally lost her mind. After burying herself in alchemy research, locked away in her laboratory, her sanity has finally shattered!
If that wasn’t the case, I thought it must be a terrible nightmare, but….
I wasn’t losing my mind. This wasn’t a dream.
‘That’s right. I possessed Ju-hwa’s body, and I’ve been living as her.’
I denied it at first, but eventually I had no choice but to accept it.
My soul—Kanna Adis’s soul—had entered the body of a girl from another world named Lee Ju-hwa, and I had no idea how to escape.
If I didn’t intend to die like this, living as Lee Ju-hwa was my only option.
So I made the decision to become her.
The psychological shock did trigger panic attacks, but there was nothing particularly difficult about it.
All of Lee Ju-hwa’s memories and knowledge remained intact, so living my daily life posed no inconvenience.
And so I, Kanna, lived a new life as Lee Ju-hwa.
For a full twelve years. From the time Lee Ju-hwa was seventeen until she turned twenty-nine.
‘I studied so hard just to become a traditional medicine doctor.’
After early graduation through the GED exam, I passed the Korean medicine university entrance exam, obtained my medical license, and recently had been building experience as a licensed practitioner.
I lived diligently, holding onto the goal of one day opening my own clinic under my name. It was truly a bright and promising life!
‘Why am I doing this?!’
After work, I ordered chicken with my family at home. After drinking a beer, I showered. Then I lay in bed, gazing up at the ceiling with a contented smile.
I loved living as Lee Ju-hwa so much, I was so happy. I would continue to live well from now on…
The moment I thought that.
“Damn it.”
I opened my eyes as Kanna Adis, clinging to the feet of an unknown man.
I jolted up from where I lay and rushed toward the mirror hanging on the wall.
The moment I saw the face reflected in the mirror, I collapsed as if my legs had given out.
“What is this…?”
Long black hair hanging down ominously. And black eyes hidden behind thick, unkempt bangs.
The face I had realized I would never see again, the one I had tried to forget and eventually did forget.
When was the last time I saw this face? Was it when I was fourteen?
It had matured considerably compared to then….
‘It’s my face.’
My real face.
“What is this, exactly….”
I touched my cheek and squeezed my eyes shut. And I realized.
I had returned. To my original body.
To my original world.
