To Be Jealous and Attached

This work is set in a fictional country, and all settings, including the characters, ranks, and events, are fictional.

When he fell asleep and woke up, he was on a battlefield.

From an ordinary office worker, Woo Gyeong instantly became possessed by Lee Si-yeon, a general of Cheongpyeong, and swung a sword only to survive.

He held out like that for 10 years, and even cut down the enemy commander and became a war hero, but-

"I appoint Lee Si-yeon as Crown Prince's Instructor."

Instead of being able to return to Korea or even enjoy peace, an imperial decree falls ordering him to become a teacher to the princes.

He can hardly complain that the demands placed on an illiterate possessor are too much to bear.

In the end, he accepts the decree and tries to obediently become a teacher to the princes,

but somehow, instead of the fourth prince whom he was supposed to care for, his ties become entangled with the other princes.

"It doesn't matter if Ayeon supports another prince."

"What do you mean..."

The arm wrapped around Si-yeon's waist tightened and pulled him upward.

As their faces drew close, he could no longer avoid that gaze.

The third prince's face across from him held no anxiety or doubt, only confidence.

In a way it was arrogant, yet it made anyone watching feel relieved.

That face, once gentle, yet always lewd, full of Si-yeon's taste, curved into a smile.

"If I become emperor, then the teacher must serve me."

At the voice that spoke as if it were a matter of course, Si-yeon could not take his eyes off him as if bewitched.

It was only natural for a person's heart to be drawn to one who believed in them.

"So if I become emperor, the teacher will be mine."

Mine.

Just speaking it aloud made it sound sweeter than anything else.
