History at the Library #2
역사는 도서관에서 2 [Yeogsaneun Doseogwan'eseo 2]
전 대륙을 통틀어 유명세를 떨친 관능 소설 작가 ‘페르디’.
그녀는 사실 황립 도서관 야간 사서 ‘비비안’이었다.
비비안은 무사히 4번째 원고를 완성하고 출판사에 전달하는데,
남녀의 관계 묘사가 전혀 관능적이지 않다는 충격적인 평가를 듣게 된다.
“성관계를 직접 해 봐야 안다고? 아니, 순결 서약을 맺었는데 뭘 어떻게 해?”
불행히도 그녀는 황궁 시녀로 고용될 때 종신 계약을 맺고 강제로 동정녀가 되었다.
그리고 그녀의 순결 서약을 깨트릴 수 있는 건 오로지 황족뿐이었는데…….
황족이 아니라, 매일 새벽에 도서관을 찾는 현자 레이에게 자꾸 눈길이 간다.
“키스에서 섹스로 이어지는 이유, 궁금하지 않으십니까?”
닿을 듯 말 듯한 숨소리가 귓가를 간질였다. 절로 침이 꿀꺽 넘어갔다.
비비안은 레이의 얼굴을 올려다보았다. 흰 가면 때문에 유난히 붉은 입술만 도드라져 보였다.
입술 한번 더럽게 야했다.
“원해요?”
‘원합니다…….’
저건 그림의 떡이다.
비비안은 그렇게 자신의 욕망을 다독이니 피눈물이 흐르는 것만 같았다.

January 19, 2022volume 2: (Chapters 99-xx)
October 1, 2022
... I feel disappointed.
I doesn't make sense because anyone could see it coming... still...
So this starts right where we left. With Vivian and Aiden being confused about what was the nature of their relationship.
I mean... the obvious answer about what I waited from this would be to know how they do end up together, but...
At first it was sexy and mysterious and the ending was a lot for all of us! But the moment it cements the relationship as such everything withers. I feel like I'm going through the bushes so. As an affair and like a first time, an adventure or whatever is fine. When this thing turns into a "real" relationship feels bad and even boring.
Let's start with the fact that the male lead had a dark past (never heard of something like this uh?). He seems to be mean and diabolical because his family put him in that place and he has accepted his fate until he met her and then he started to think a bit differently and feel afraid blah blah blah. Are y'all for real?! I feel that's the moment the author stopped caring about the story.
Anyways. Besides the stupid dark past male protagonist trope, we had a bit funny and completely wasted opportunity with the King finding out about Vivian's novel!
It took what two chapters to talk about it and then god knows what happened with Cardel, the King and the other Duke... a conspiracy plan including the love of the king... yeah let's say the king knew and resolved everything. Let's just say that!
What unsettled me was how the relationship of the leads got established. She was a person who wanted to do things her own way and he was an insecure control freak. They fall in love with what?! What keeps them together besides sex and books I guess??
Even the king pointed out that they were opposites and that somehow they made it work... we know realistically that doesn't happen.
At the end we just have yet another couple with nothing in common but sex and a storyline that stopped being interesting because of the leads' romance.
Disappointing, boring. I feel dead inside.
