This is a revised edition of the novel, edited for readers aged 15 and above.It felt as if the whole world had joined hands to torment Hyoshin.

Her country had fallen, her parents abandoned her,

and now she was stuck with the miserable fate of a servant girl, beaten and scolded at every turn. Just the thought of it made flames rise inside her chest.“Do you really think leaving Joseon will free you from being a servant?”The greatest thorn of all was none other than the cold gaze of Yoon Sanyoung, the young master of the household.

His eyes held the noble arrogance of someone who believed it was generosity to even glance at someone so lowly.

A look that said—How dare you expect my attention.And then, there were his pale, strong hands plucking the strings of the violin.

Whenever that sharp and icy violinist swept his bow with force,

Hyoshin had to pretend not to feel the burning flames that twisted in her stomach.“What can a servant’s fate become? I’ll just stay here until I die and haunt this house as a ghost.”Would turning her back on this turbulent world finally cool the fire boiling inside her?

Would it be easier if she simply died, letting her grief and anger fade away forever?

Hyoshin only wished to be erased from this world.“…Do as you please.”But she didn’t realize—

the single spark she breathed out had already caught onto him, and was spreading into a blazing fire.
