Description
Iru, called the monster of the imperial palace due to severe burn scars. Despite people’s contempt and disgust, she was happy because of her comrades in the 9th Knight Order who were like family. Until the holy sword appeared. With the emergence of the holy sword, said to make its wielder the emperor according to legend, the imperial family was thrown into chaos, and the 9th Knight Order was also mobilized for the mission to retrieve the holy sword. But they were ambushed by unidentified assailants, and Iru, with her last strength before dying, grasped the holy sword. And when she opened her eyes again, Iru had transformed into a completely different appearance. A beautiful body without a single scar, free from pain. ‘I’ll have my revenge. I’ll find out who they are and behead them.’ But her newly acquired body is still weak, and she’s about to be sold at a s*ave auction. Hearing that a royal has come as a customer, she thinks of somehow being sold to that person to return to the imperial palace…. “How much for this woman?” Iru looked up in shock at the man who had come up. The man asking for her price was the 5th Prince Nergal, who absolutely shouldn’t be in a place like this. The person who was her brief childhood acquaintance and the one who avoided her the most in the imperial palace. * * * Nergal gazed at her sleeping form. He recognized her as Iru the moment he saw her. He couldn’t help it. As a child, he had imagined countless times what she would look like as time passed. How she would look with her hair grown out after it had been cut short for training, how much deeper her purple eyes would become that used to glare at him asking if he was bullying her again, how much more her arms and legs would grow that she used to boast were longer than her peers’. More often than she chattered about becoming a great knight when she grew up, he had thought about her future. And he had forever lost the chance to see that future he had imagined. Because of his mistake. Nergal’s eyes flashed as he embraced Iru. Whether it was the power of the holy sword or some other wicked force, he didn’t care. He had no intention of letting go of what he had regained, even if it killed him.

My Thoughts on The Sin of Being Beside You
"The Sin of Being Beside You" immediately grabbed my attention with its intriguing premise and blend of action, fantasy, and romance. The initial setup, hinting at a revenge-driven adventure, promises a compelling journey, and I was eager to dive in.
First Impressions
The story throws you right into the thick of things, showcasing a future contract between the main leads before rewinding to the events that set everything in motion. This narrative choice created instant intrigue, leaving me wanting to know exactly how the characters arrived at that point. The female lead's transformation after a devastating event involving a holy sword is a powerful hook.
What Works Well
I particularly enjoyed the dynamic between the leads. The author seems to have crafted a relationship built on trust and mutual respect. The fact that they recognize each other despite appearance changes is refreshing, and the implied bond that transcends a simple contract is definitely a draw. The slow-burn approach to intimacy, with the male lead guiding the female lead, also felt like a thoughtful and welcome touch. The world-building, with its European ambience and hints of aristocracy, adds depth and richness to the story.
