    Synopsis:
    For the sake of survival, I kissed the protagonist and we became partners.
    But I just can’t believe that the ‘kind’ protagonist in the original novel was all an act!

    “If I kill you, this partner relationship will be broken.”
    “You can’t do that. We’ll both die at the same time.”

    We were tied together by a tightly shared fate.
    Sharing the same wounds, the same pain, the same life and death.
    Plus, we had to have physical contact for the symbiosis?

    When I found out about his mask, he was cruel to me with no hesitation.
    Unreasonable amounts of work, unreasonable demands…
    Why can’t I be with another man?

    “I’ve figured it out! How to break this partner relationship!”

    Now that my life would be safe, all that’s left is to get away―

    “I have no intentions of breaking it.”
    “…pardon?”
    “Just like you, I’m also curious.”

    He held me in his arms and his gaze slowly descended to my lips.

    “I’m curious about to what extent our pain will be shared.”

    Yoidel (FL):
    • The female protagonist. She lived in the modern age and possessed a character in a fantasy novel she was reading. FL was disguised as a man. If I remember correctly, ML doesn't know. She was punished to death penalty. She had been working as a trainee priest. She acted like a perverted stalker before. She stole clothes when ML was taking a bath or taking the chair he sat on. After her death the truth was revealed. But she has a bold personality who does everything she has to do.
    Ulysses (ML):
    • The male protagonist. He is the half-blood descendant of a God. He is the current Pope & holy spirit (?). ML maintained distance with other people as he didn't want the "pairing". Pairing meant sharing each others power, feelings & qualities. But as ML is OP, pairing with a lower would be disadvantageous for him.
    • The protagonist in a fantasy novel that Yoidel read. His external image is a gentle and kind personality, but his real personality is very different. A cold-blooded murderer who sees lives as nothing. A person who has lived for a thousand years and has been forced to share pain after having his lips taken away by Yoidel.
    How it starts:
    When FL was escaping she accidentally sees ML mass murdering. Obviously ML tries to kill in order to silence. But she kisses him & the pairing is formed (If you see the cover, the light pink petals formed on their forehead). ML or any high priest didn't know about how the pairing is formed. FL convinces him to not to kill her as she can see the future. She helps him with the Temples budget, catching the traitor. ML tries to observe her soul, he saw fragments of modern Korea & believes she can see the future or fragments of dimensions. FL wants to leave. But he binds her with a contract & proclaims he will keep an eye on her. They solve problem regarding the temple. The Imperial Family is mainly the antagonist. FL uses her modern knowledge & gets along with her fellow trainee priests.

    Series discussion

    Just read the MTL manhwa version (currently ch.5 as of the moment of this post). Its refreshing for an ML to realize and get actual verification that this MC is different. He just can't explain or put two and two together (but he said he would check her soul? why did he check her memories? Is it the it was actually MC all along scenario? What was wrong when in the OG/novel TL, they found out OGhost was a girl? What was wrong with executing a stalker, much less someone who actually had a crime (of which I forgot what was OGbody's crime)

    Hello everyone! So far I've read the first 20 chapters of the manhwa and I've got to say, it's refreshing to see a story like this. Anyway in case someone is interested this is what happens in these chapters.

    So our MC transmigrates to an apprentice that is condemned to death due some crimes. She tries to escapes and in the process she founds out the kind and precious ML killing someone coldblooded (so yeah our ML is a two faced man). Since she saw him he tries to kill her and she kisses him (since she knows the novel's content) and they get paired. The bond is basically: a bond where the weak side extracts energy from the strong side, so it's a pretty disadvantage for ML. What he doesn't know is that the bond also shares when someone is hurt, therefore if she dies he dies too. It was funny as hell cuz he was like: You know what, I think I've lived for too long I don't care about this, imma kill you; until she told him she can see the future.

    And yes they get those cool forehead flowers when paired.

    Basically MC tells ML who is responsible for the corruption and missing funds. Their country (Holy Land) is at odds with the Empire so the later has an spy that has a high position at the temple and it's misdirecting the money and in general sabotaging the Holy Land future. ML follows MC advice and apprehends the culprit.

    Since ML recognizes MC changed he digs out on her memories but he only sees things like the modern world and then it's blocked somehow, ML himself thinks that MC hasn't awaken completely and than it's only halfway awaken.
    Btw, MC is disguised as a MAN and everyone thinks of her as a man.
    Since previous Yoidel (MC) was horrible to everyone, she gets ostracized by everyone. MC thinks it's a shame but she's used since in modern korea she was an orphan and was used to be alone. From her orphan experience she is used to clean to make people happy and help somehow so she starts to clean the temple by herself to pass the time.
    In general she starts to change and helps people (out of her own heart), and people's perception of her starts to change.

    MC is lonely and she wishes for a friend. Then she finds an egg and the egg answers to her and she calls it Flo.
    The funny thing about the egg is that it had been gifted to ML and since the egg rejected ML he had been using the egg as an excuse to not get married or find a partner.
    - MC's Family: When people join the Sacred Temple they lose their last name. Idr MC's surname exactly, but it's the same as a Ducal family, who is in charge of the empire's dirty business. So basically it seems like MC is related to the enemies of the Holy Land.
    -MC's divine power: So ML tested MC's divine power and nothing happened and there can be too reasons: 1- There's no divine power and 2- There's TOO MUCH divine power and knowing how stories go I can say it's the later.

    Some stuff happens and MC has to compete so she can keep being the egg's guardian. Theo (some guy who hated MC) tried to incriminate MC in some plots and lastly changed MC's map so she would get lost in the forest. MC paid attention and then changed the map again so Theo got lost. She was feeling guilty since he didn't appear so went looking for him and saved him.
    The funniest thing is that in the process she discovered the forest's guardian beast was friendly to her so she made friends with it and called it Berry.

    So far so good, I'm truly liking this MC (yea she get all the Mary Sue treatment) but honestly it feels genuine. She's really a kind person and just wants to do her stuff while waiting how to get away from the pairing and doesn't use her blessings in an arrogant manner. Also, she isn't taking nobody's shit (Theo's example).

    Sorry if I had mistakes english is my second language.

    Does the main male leader also not know that she is a girl? Does he think she's a guy? Then when and how will he find out? When will others know?

    And here's another question. They share all the pain. And when a girl begins her period, does the pain also divide?

    I highly doubt the author would actually address it (or the publisher would allow them to) but it would honestly be funny if they did. I would honestly love to see that happen. Imagining an 'all-mighty' ML getting done in by serious period cramps is hilarious.
