Prologue

[Ten-Ri Infernal Flame Technique]

A forbidden demonic technique that burns the caster’s own body, turning a ten-li radius into a scorching infernal hell.

The blazing karmic fire of the Infernal Flame, once unleashed, does not extinguish for a hundred years. All caught within the radius are consumed by flames born of their sins.

The flaming vines of karmic fire, known as Bundariga, coil through the ten-li radius, crushing and incinerating anyone who tries to escape or hide.

The young servants and maids who had followed the demon cultist into the imperial palace paid respects before her spirit.

Yeongnyeong, seated cross-legged, slowly drew up her demonic energy.

Clear skies turned dark with gathering clouds, and a gloomy, sinister aura began to rise, making all the onlookers pull their collars tight with unease.

The Emperor, enjoying a boat ride on the pond with a new young concubine in the hexagonal pavilion, suddenly looked up at the sky.

The Empress Dowager, flaunting her status at a banquet in Su-bang-jae, frowned at the ominous air.

Drip—

A sudden silence swept across the entire imperial palace.

Then, with an ear-splitting roar, the ground cracked open and molten karmic lava spewed from the fissures.

Beautiful palaces and the trees surrounding them were instantly engulfed in hellfire.

The Emperor’s boat capsized, and the concubine screamed for help as she fell into the water.

Struggling to the pond’s edge, the Emperor gripped a rock and gasped as he looked around the now hellish landscape.

Everything around him was consumed in crimson-black flames.

The stone markers he had erected for his children were shredded from bottom to top, like torn paper.

Panting and gasping, he began to run.

The concubine’s desperate cries were drowned as the burning muddy water swallowed the pond.

The earth continued to quake and crack apart.

He wanted to believe this was all a nightmare—but then he saw a woman, aflame, running out of Su-bang-jae, screaming in agony.

He froze.

“…Mother!”

Palace maids and eunuchs threw water on her, but the flames only roared louder.

“Your Majesty, please! Save me!” she cried in agony—but he couldn’t reach out to her.

Screams of suffering echoed everywhere—this was a vision of true infernal hell.

“…”

Yeongnyeong.

My Yeongnyeong.

Amid fading consciousness, she heard a man’s voice.

Before her eyes, as she opened them weakly like a burning lotus, stood a man wailing in despair.

“Yeongnyeong, I can’t let you go like this.”

He pulled her burning body into his embrace.

The hellfire spread to him, but he didn’t care.

“I’ve only ever loved you. I wanted nothing but your happiness—but if all that remains for you is vengeance and pain…”

His aching voice seeped into her ears.

“Let’s go to hell together.”

Everything burns.

Everything.

“If I meet you in the next life, I won’t hesitate—I’ll take your hand.”


#1. Awakening Through Betrayal

“Your husband doesn’t love you.”

In the lush garden of the duke’s estate, two women stood facing each other.

One, dressed in a striking red gown with a pale face, was Eshika Klaus, the Duchess.

Born into wealth, she possessed silver hair and striking blue eyes.

The woman standing across from her, firm and upright, was Yuri Anesis—the daughter of Eshika’s old nanny and her only childhood friend.

Yuri slowly parted her lips.

“The one he loves is…”

Eshika saw her own reflection—calm, composed—in Yuri’s red eyes.

With a voice laced with subtle pity, Yuri finished her sentence:

“…Me.”

The leaves rustled lightly in the wind.

Eshika’s blue eyes trembled violently in shock.

“It feels like he’s seeing someone else. What should I do?”

She had said that to Yuri just three months ago.

Yuri had followed Eshika to House Klaus to serve her after marriage.

When Eshika’s mother-in-law, Leona Klaus, scorned her as “a baron’s daughter who bought her title with money,” and when her husband, Duke Kalian Klaus, treated her with icy indifference, Yuri had been the only one Eshika could rely on in that hellish household.

But that very Yuri… had betrayed her?

She first grew suspicious when Kalian secretly bought an Alet ring, said to symbolize eternal love between lovers.

She had hoped it was for her—but a month passed, and Kalian didn’t say a word.

And now, on Yuri’s left ring finger—was the same Alet ring she had seen described.

“…!”

The shock gripped her for a long while.

Finally, trembling, Eshika raised her hand—and slapped Yuri across the face.

Smack!

The sound echoed sharply through the garden.

“Yuri! How dare you…!”

Her voice cracked with anguish, and just as she was about to scream more—

“You’ve really never learned to control that temper, have you?”

A cool voice cut in, as Kalian appeared and caught the staggering Yuri.

With vivid brown hair and piercing violet eyes, his very presence exuded chill.

“…Kalian…”

Eshika’s pupils shook.

Kalian Klaus, one of only three dukes in the empire, was her husband.

He had a towering frame, solid build, and a face that was said to rank in the empire’s top five.

When they first married, Eshika thought she had won the world.

“Because of your cruelty, even the maids who dedicated their lives to the Klaus family are quitting. And now, you’ve laid hands on the friend who serves you.”

Kalian supported Yuri by the waist—with the very hands he had never used to touch Eshika once.

“How long must I endure this?”

Eshika saw it in his icy eyes.

Kalian despised her.

He was the heir of a prestigious ducal house, a founding family of the empire.

She, the only daughter of a nouveau riche baron made wealthy by gemstone trade.

Their worlds were too different.

Still, Eshika had believed they could become a good couple.

The famed, handsome Duke Klaus had always been her ideal.

Despite three years of coldness, she’d held out hope and tried her best.

And yet—this betrayal?

“…Kalian! You have no right to say that—!”

“Don’t ever speak my name again.”

His voice cut through her like ice.

Yuri’s lips curled into a cold smirk—as if mocking all of Eshika’s vain efforts.

“Let’s go, Yuri,” Kalian said, placing a hand on her shoulder.

Eshika couldn’t take it anymore.

She lunged at Yuri, intent on tearing her hair out—her only form of revenge.

But Kalian blocked her with his strong arm.

“Let go! Let go! I’ll kill you!”

Eshika screamed, but Kalian’s cold voice sliced through her rage.

“You’re… disgusting. And exhausting.”

Then he shoved her hard.

“Ahhh!”

She tumbled backward, hitting her head—blood soaking into the grass.

All she wanted now was to die.
