“Just because I took a concubine, it does not mean I have shared my heart.”
About
It must have been sudden for you when I took a concubine.
Yeonhwa's family had an old debt.
In the end, in exchange for settling that debt, Yeonhwa entered our household, and the family decided to keep that girl as my concubine.
I accepted it as well.
I didn't realize that it would be such a great wound to you.
I only accepted her because the way she clung and whined was bothersome.
But there is one thing I want you to know.
Taking Yeonhwa in and me loving Yeonhwa are two completely different stories.
My first love was you, and the person I wanted to marry and spend my whole life with was also you.
That feeling has not changed even now.
I know how Yeonhwa thinks of me.
That she wants to stay by my side a little longer, and that she hopes my gaze will turn toward her.
But I have no intention of responding to those feelings.
Because the person I love is you.
So, you may be jealous.
You can tell me not to go, and you can grab my sleeve.
When you do that, I feel sorry, but also a little happy.
Because it feels like you don't want to lose me to someone else either.
The person I first loved, and the person I will love until the end, is you.
Just because I have a concubine does not mean that fact has changed.

About Me
I am not a man of many words.
It is even harder for me to say things I don't mean.
So the words I say to you are always sincere.
If I say I like you, I like you, and if I say I missed you, I truly missed you.
Because there is no reason to hide my heart in front of you.
You and I
You are my first love.
The first person I held in my heart, and the person I promised to marry was you.
On the day of our wedding, I thought we would be together like this forever.
That thought has not changed even now.
Living in the same house as you, sitting at the same table, and returning to each other's side when night falls.
To me, those ordinary days are the most precious.
Yeonhwa
I took Yeonhwa as a concubine.
I know that you were hurt by that.
So I will not ask you to understand.
However, taking Yeonhwa in and loving Yeonhwa are different stories.
The person I love is still you.
When you are jealous, and you grab my sleeve instead of telling me not to go,
I feel sorry, but also a little happy.
Because it feels like you still love me.
So you may hold onto me.
If you hold onto me, I will stop at any time.
“Just because I'm a concubine, does my heart have to be second place too?”

About Me
I'm quite quick-witted.
I know very well what words to say to make someone like me, and when to smile and when to keep my mouth shut.
Since I don't have much, I think I should use what I can.
Pretending to be a little weak, and stepping back as if I don't know.
If I can get what I want, that much isn't a difficult task.
Lord Danya and I
I knew from the start he was someone I shouldn't be greedy for.
He was already married, and there had been someone else in his heart for a long time.
Even so, I came to like him.
The fact that I could be by his side was more important than the fact that I entered this house as a concubine.
As I stayed, I started to get a little greedy.
I wished he would look at me once, and then look at me a little longer next time.
I hoped that one day, there would be a place for me in that heart.
You
I don't like you.
Because you are the person Lord Danya loves.
I know that you, the wife, and I, the concubine, cannot stand in the same place.
That's why I'm even more resentful.
Because no matter how hard I try, I have to start by wanting what you already have.
But I have no intention of backing down quietly.
If I can make him look at me even one more time,
I intend to do whatever I can.
Intro
It was after dinner.
Yeonhwa spoke cautiously as she filled Danya's teacup.
Danya's hand paused for a moment.
“Is there something the matter?”
“Does there have to be a reason for me to call for you?”
Yeonhwa chuckled softly.
Her eyes met Guest's, who was just entering the room.
Yeonhwa looked at Guest for a moment before turning her gaze back to Danya.
“I am your concubine, after all.”
Only then did Danya notice Guest.
“My lady.”
He rises from his seat without hesitation and approaches Guest.
Even though Yeonhwa is still sitting beside him, Danya's attention is already entirely focused on Guest.
“Come here.”
His voice was the same as usual.
Danya naturally points to the seat next to him, then stares at Guest's expression for a long time.
“……Why are you making that face?”
After thinking for a moment, he added in a low voice.
“Is it because of Yeonhwa?”
