From what I understand from other spoilers, this is only a time regression manhwa.
Novel transmigration is just part of Huimin's coping mechanism.
He IS suffering from Identity Dissociative Disorder. And coping that this is all just a novel is a symptom of that.
The trauma of his past life was too much to bear, so when he regressed back in time, he believed that those past life memories were all just part of a fictional story starring this fictional character Huimin who suffered miserably.
He believes that all happened to the fictional character Huimin. But not him, he's not really Huimin. He didn't go crazy. He didn't get assaulted. He didn't have a miscarriage. He didn't lose his baby.
At least, that's what his coping mechanism believes.
Unless the Emperor can revive Raonhiljo's mother back to life, HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE END GAME
Spoilers!! why... Heonjae... WHY!!!

So, during the sports competition, Heonjae goes out to drink water, but overhears a conversation from inside the medical tents.
"Man, this is seriously difficult. Even though we've secretly done the work before..."
"And the fact that we have to make such a scene so it gets caught on camera... I mean, come on..."
"Is 5484 really going to come?"
"The boss said to go ahead either way. Even if he doesn't show up this time, there'll be another opportunity."
"You're handling it this time, right? Keep your weapon close when you do."
"Y-yeah... got it..."
"Keep people out of the medical tent until 5484 arrives. Just direct them to the infirmary."
In reaction to what he had just heard, Heonjae remained calm, almost indifferent.
[I see... so if hyung goes into the medical tent... he might die.]
And Heonjae, dead eyed, just continues to drink water like he came there for...
---------------------------------------------
The relay race began, and outside the racing field, in the corner of Heonjae's eye, he sees Jingi walking towards the medical tent.
But just as he saw him, Myeong-il had fallen over and scraped his knee during the race.
(Basically! This was a crucial moment for Heonjae to choose between saving his brother Jingi, or winning Myeong-il's affection...and bro chose the huzz
Heonjae ran straight into Myeong-il's arms.
...while Jingi headed into the medical tent.)
---------------------------------------------
[Why am I running...? I'm sure... it's for Myeong-il. For me... Myeong-il... I just want you to see me properly.] Heonjae thought as he ran.
But with Myeong-il injured and bleeding, Heonjae instead ditched the race, and ran towards Myeong-il to hold him.
"Wha- what's going on? Hyung, why did you come this way...?" Myeong-il asks.
"Ugh, ugh... I don't know... I just don't like Myeong-il being alone...
I'm sorry for hugging you without permission...
I'm sorry... for not being able to win anything..."
Heonjae says in apology to Myeong-il for leaving the race.
---------------------------------------------
Myeong-il and Heonjae go to get Myeong-il's wounds treated.
But as they reached the medical tent, Heonjae sees Jingi arriving there.
So, Heonjae diverts Myeong-il's attention and lies about being told that the tent was full. They change direction and go to the infirmary...
---------------------------------------------
Alone in the infirmary together, Myeong-il apologizes to Heonjae for tripping over and causing them the race, and said he knew Heonjae wanted to win first place too.
But Heonjae says he doesn't care about being in first place.
"...I just wanted to be by Myeong-il's side when he was hurt. When I was injured, I wished someone would have been there for me...
Since I chose to run to Myeong-il, I didn't win... I'm not sure if what I did was the right thing... because I would've wanted to see Myeong-il happy with the prize...
Thanks to Myeong-il, I've been able to greet people... I've been able to do many things...
Watching TV together is fun too. It's also nice when you greet me after I return from going out.
I'm really grateful. I... I liked it.
Every day, I can only think of you. That's why my head seems to have stopped working."
Heonjae said. In response, Myeong-il started, "You know... Hyung, to me--"
"I like you.
I like you, Myeong-il..."
Heonjae confessed.
Spoilers!! Jingi don't go! It's a trap!
.

We start with the last panel from the previous chapter.
A large vase is shattered and Heonjae stares blankly into space murmuring "lover..."
Myeong-il comes up to him and tries to snap Heonjae out of it, once he does, Myeong-il says he's glad at least Heonjae isn't hurt.
And Myeong-il starts yelling at the guy who's yelling at Heonjae for breaking the vase.
Myeong-il helps pick up the broken pieces, and Heonjae starts apologizing, saying he was just feeling anxious about Sports Day coming up tomorrow.
---------------------------------------------
At evening, in their rooms preparing to go to bed, Myeong-il is reminded about Sports Day and remembers that Deokjae hyung (the prisoner who befriended Myeong-il with gambling) had asked about Jingi.
Myeong-il asks Jingi if he'll be joining the sports event.
Jingi is a little surprised Myeong-il initiated a conversation with him, but Jingi doesn't turn around, then nonchalantly answers that he isn't going, and tells them to just go have fun.
Myeong-il says, "Don't let me see you touching any of the stuff we win."
Jingi replies, "Oh, well you don't even look at me".
[As expected, he won't be coming...
We can't just keep staying silent like this forever, we're going to have to talk someday anyway]
Myeong-il thought while feeling how awkward it was talking to Jingi again.
[So, just hurry up and--] Myeong-il's thoughts are interrupted by the sound of Heonjae washing his face.
"ah...it's spicy... Aghh~~~~~! It burns!!!",
Heonjae yells in pain.
"Is that toothpaste!??", Myeong-il asks in concern.
Heonjae, still being so out of it, had accidentally washed his own face with a handful of toothpaste instead of soap.
"Hey! Don't wash it with water, wipe it with tissue paper!!!", Myeong-il trying to prevent Heonjae from worsening the sting of the toothpaste.
"Waaahhhh~~~~!! it's spicy~~~!!!
｡:ﾟ(;´∩`;)ﾟ:｡", Heonjae cries.
"Lol", (I think is what Jingi basically said, or like "Oh wow, look at that").
"Tissue!! (ノ｀Д´)ノ", Myeong-il yells.
---------------------------------------------
After the whole fiasco, we see Heonjae lying down staring at the ceiling, with his face all red from the sting of the toothpaste.
He clings to Myeong-il who's sleeping,
"I'm anxious. I'm anxious, Myeong-il. I feel like you're going to leave me.
I don't want to lose you. You don't like him, right Myeong-il?",
Heonjae whispers crying.
Myeong-il, discomforted by the clinging in his sleep, unconsciously shifts to turn away from Heonjae to face Jingi.
Heonjae looks with an evil eye towards Jingi and says, "You promised..." (alluding to the promise Jingi made to help Heonjae win over Myeong-il).
"Fine... I'll handle it myself", Heonjae says.
---------------------------------------------
It's Sports Day, and Myeong-il is approached by Deokjae, and Myeong-il mentions that Jingi isn't going to attend.
Deokjae apologizes and says he shouldn't have asked Myeong-il to talk to Jingi for him, especially since things between them hasn't been great lately.
"Huh, how'd you know, was it that obvious?", Myeong-il asks in surprise.
"Uh. Well, see ya later." Deokjae dodges the question and leaves.
---------------------------------------------
The announcement of the list of prizes ensues. They can't bring back the prizes to their rooms here in prison, but can take it with them once they get out or they can send it to their families.
Myeong-il talks about how his house needs a new rice cooker like that.
He points to a simple floral patterned rice cooker on the table.
"I wish I could win that", Myeong-il tells Heonjae.
Heonjae clasps Myeong-il's hands in his own and says, "No! I'll win the most expensive one over there and give it to you when I get first place."
Heonjae easily wins strength games like Arm wrestling and Tug of war, getting first place in both.
But both Heonjae and Myeong-il don't know how to play soccer considering Myeong-il stopped school at middle school so he didn't get to play, and Heonjae injured his leg in high school.
---------------------------------------------
We transition to Jingi in the room by himself doing push ups. (hot btw, you should see him).
"You still in there?"
Someone talks to Jingi through the room's window. Jingi gets interrupted in his push ups, then looks up at the person.
It's Deokjae. "Myeong-il said he'd like to meet you outside. It's stuffy in that room. I came here to pass his message to you", he says.
"Why are you telling me this?", Jingi asks.
"Well, you two aren't getting along these days, right? He's been avoiding you. It looks like Myeong-il ended up in the medical tent on the sports field. Go check on him.", Deokjae tells Jingi.
"I'll handle my own business, so get lost", Jingi says irritatedly.
"Sure~ I'll go. Take it easy then... poor Myeong-il." Deokjae instigates then leaves.
Jingi, now back to being alone, wonders why Myeong-il would ask him to come to the medical tent.
"Sigh... It's pitiful, but also really annoying.
What's Myeong-il saying, calling people over like that...
Should we have sex in the medical office?", Jingi thinks to himself.
(No!! Jingi don't go! It's a trap! A honey trap!! They knew you would go if they said Myeong-il asked for you. They lured you with what you wanted most. Are they planning to kill Jingi!??)
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
Sorry I delayed this from last week. It was hard to explain what was happening without writing in all the small parts too, so it became really long since I had to include almost every scene. Translating what they said also took a while.
But what about that butler left in the cursed mansion lol
Jingi is being treated like he's invisible while they were eating. He's literally drawn see-through in the panel of Myeong-il conversing with Heonjae about the Sports Competition while ignoring Jingi.
And is it me? Or are even the little animal figurines Myeong-il made, the weasel and bear, walking away from the wolf in that same panel? While the wolf can only see their backs turned to him so sad, lone wolf Jingi.
These two authors are really something else. Lmao, tbh I usually skip the Creator's note but these were pretty entertaining. I've never seen two people work on one manhwa hand in hand.
Great team work. I'm impressed they can both draw the characters similarly. And both their art styles look so hot. And of course their writing is really good too. The story, plot, and emotions are all very cinematic-like.
Chat, we're cooked. He just pulled up WITH A DRAGON.
I can't wait for the youngest of those brothers to finally get his, because so far FL is kissing everyone except the one who's really in love with her
Glad I left the notifications on for this. I knew one day it'd update.
"Just shut up and take my jizz"
(⊙…⊙ )...okay but why did that line actually turn me on...
The bar is in hell, and you people chose to play limbo with the devil under it.
I love seeing how crazy and funny the comments can get here each week you get to see the wide variety of reactions for each chapter. I look forward to it every Tuesday.
I'm dropping... I get that the Saintess doesn't necessarily need to be well... a saint, but I don't like how she just let Fabian die like that.
Yeh, I hated his pathetic ness in the beginning, but from what I'm seeing, all the men who were born with powers don't really have any other choice but to fall in love with FL? Just because she's the Saintess.
Like, they're inevitably attracted to her. And if they don't stay with her, they're locked in a temple forever or they die an early death.
Fabian saved FL's life from a rock slide when they were children once. So, couldn't FL just be stoic and objective by saving his life too?
She doesn't need to love him or be his friend or anything, just save his life.
Fabian never tried to kill her, that was all the princess's doing while he was dying in the background. FL jumped into that river by herself, yes because of heartbreak, but also because of her own overdramaticness.
Like, this just seems very unheroic, and almost petty on her part.
----------------------------------------
Low-key wouldn't be surprised if this story is the type where the reader transmigrates into, and it turns out the FL saintess was actually a b*tch all along, and just so full of herself, having everyone around just love and adore her unconditionally, just because she has the bloodline of Antu or something.
"In the novel she was so kind and caring, everyone adored her for her kindness when I read 'The Saintess Returns to the Emperor' but why did it turn out like this!?"
- the transmigrator into this story probably
