Shifted Souls
Married¹
____________________________
There was a red bridal veil covering his eyes. He could see the stitches behind the embroidery: a pair of mandarin ducks, representing love and devotion. The tiny pearls attached to the veil's tassels swayed with his every move, tracing beautiful arcs.
A delicate watery fragrance was drifting in the air, creating a calming atmosphere within the room.
Jeon Jungkook lifted the veil slightly and cast a measuring gaze over the arrangements of the bridal chamber.
There was a pair of red wedding candles as thick as a child's arm burning on the table, and a basket of red eggs in front of them. A decorative screen made of agarwood with a carving of the four seasons stood next to the table. There were even square pieces of Lantian jade, each about the same size, inlaid on the screen.
This scene was exactly the same as the one described in the novel!
A wave of joy burst forth in Jeon Jungkook's heart. He had really transmigrated into the novel he had been reading, and he had even taken the place of the Main character!
What he was experiencing now was the beginning of the novel.
Jeon Jungkook was filled with expectation. Now that he was the Main character, he could marry the perfect man described in the novel!
He was not going to violate his marriage vows like the novel's Main character, 'Jeon Jungkook', had. He was going to be a virtuous omega, pass carefree days with his husband, and properly manage his own household in order to make up for the previous regrets that he had had in the modern world.
It was a pity that he had only read halfway through the book before he had been transmigrated.
While he was lost in his thoughts, the sound of footsteps and voices came from outside the room. Jeon Jungkook hurriedly lowered his veil and corrected his posture.
A flustered maidservant, Fuyan, came in to remind him,
Fuyan (Jungkook's maid servant)
Sixth Miss, the bridal attendants and Young Master are here.
Another maidservant, Xiyan, quickly adjusted Jungkook's bridal dress before standing respectfully with Fuyan to one side.
Jungkook made a sound of acknowledgement. His heart was thumping in his chest and he was unbelievably nervous inside. He felt like his heart was about to leap out of his throat.
The bridal attendants' congratulations rang out, followed by the candid and teasing voices of some men. In an instant, the peace in the room was broken by the noise outside, and the atmosphere turned boisterous and joyful.
Kim soo-hyun (Second young master)
Third son, quick, take off the veil and let us see what kind of beauty our brother-in-law is!
Bridal attendant
That's right, Third Young Master, we can't wait any longer!
One of the bridal attendants echoed the teasing and happily picked up a golden rod from a nearby maidservant's serving tray, passing it over to the third son of the Kim Family.
Bridal attendant
Third Young Master, please pull aside the veil. May all your wishes come true!
Their gazes shifted to the bride sitting in proper posture on the bed. Everyone wanted to see what the Kim Family's newest son-in-law looked like.
Thus, no one noticed the trace of mocking contempt that flashed through the groom's eyes.
From behind the cover of the bridal veil, Jeon Jungkook could only see a pair of black and red wedding boots in front of him. They were embroidered with a complicated pattern of flowing clouds and looked quite pretty.
The golden rod appeared under his veil. In the next second, the red that had filled his vision transformed into a bright world. The sudden light was overwhelming; Jungkook couldn't help but squint.
The bride's beautiful features were revealed when the veil was lifted: curved brows, red lips, almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks. Like a newly blossomed lotus, he looked bashful and lovely.
Jeon Jungkook only raised his head and glanced once at his future husband, Kim Taehyung, before lowering his head again, not daring to look any longer.
However, it was this unbearable bashfulness that added a touch of colour to the beautiful bride before them. Instantly, one of Kim Taehyung's 'good' friends started to tease him.
Taehyung's friend
Taehyung, you lucky little brat!
Even Second Young Master patted his little brother's broad and sturdy shoulders in satisfaction, giving his approval of his new brother-in-law.
Kim Taehyung was quickly dragged out by his good friends for drinks. The bridal attendants left some instructions before leaving as well, allowing the bridal chamber to settle back into tranquility. Jungkook's heart was still beating crazily. Thinking back to that one quick glance, he was still in disbelief that such a handsome and perfect man would soon become his husband!
So immersed in his joy, Jungkook had completely overlooked the strange look in his new husband's eyes when he had met his gaze just now.
Meanwhile, Senior Servant Gui frowned as she tidied up some things at the side. She was already over thirty years old, and had already seen countless people. Just now, when everyone had been focused on the bride's face, she had been looking at the new young master's expression.
You could tell whether a man was satisfied with his bride from the look on his face.
Senior Servant Gui had absolute confidence in Jeon Jungkook's appearance. However, after seeing such a beautiful young omega, the new young master hadn't shown any signs of being taken aback. Instead, his eyes were like a deep lake or an old well, calm and still, without any signs of a ripple.
The thought gnawed at Senior Servant Gui until she could not help but turn to look at Sixth Miss, who was still sitting by the bed with his lips curled up. A knot of anxiety sat heavy in her chest, and she could only hope that her old eyes had seen wrongly.
Unless their hearts were made of steel, what kind of man wouldn't treasure such a beautiful flower?

tell me in the comments ✨✨✨
and yes! before anyone gets angry by the way Jungkook is being addressed
here it's ancient time, and Jungkook is an omega here, so when addressed like this , like formally, he will be addressed like this
like, calling him "sixth Miss" , that's his title from his maternal house, and now "Third Young Madam" ,
it's his title now as he is the husband of third young master, that is Taehyung
but don't worry, only by tittle he will be address like this,
there will be no , girl private part, totally portraying him as girl , okay
he is a male omega here and they can get pregnant, just this, no girl things
so don't get angry, I have changed everything
as it was a straight story originally so , sometimes it will be a little difficult to change some things, like the way he is addressed
otherwise everything is bl
I myself don't like that, so chill
if anyone still has some doubts or complaints then tell me in the comments
Shocked²

Jungkook was about to take off his phoenix crown when he was held back by Xiyan.
Xiyan (Jungkook's maid servant)
Sixth Miss, the bridal attendant left instructions for you just now. You have to wait for Third Young Master to personally take off the phoenix crown.
Jungkook helplessly put down his hands and stretched his aching neck instead; he could only leave it like this.
Xiyan felt that Sixth Miss" actions were a little funny.
Xiyan (Jungkook's maid servant)
Don't worry, Sixth Miss. They won't delay Young Master for too long with Matriarch Kim in attendance. Young Master will be back soon.
Xiyan's teasing made Jungkook blush.
Jeon Jungkook
Why do you have so much to say today when you're usually so silent?
Jungkook glared at her in rebuke and calmed down. He stood up and ordered the maidservants to put away the things he had brought with him. Before an hour had passed, a maidservant announced from outside that Young Master had returned.
Some dried foods, including peanuts and dried longans, were scattered over the red covers of the conjugal bed. Right after Jungkook got Senior Servant Gui to clear those away, Kim Taehyung stepped into the outer chamber.
No one was following by Kim Taehyung's side this time, only a bridal attendant who had come to pass down some customs.
After Kim Taehyung stepped into the inner chamber, the bridal attendant smiled as she indicated for a maidservant to bring in the nuptial wine that had been prepared earlier.
Bridal attendant
Third Young Master, Third Young Madam, after drinking this nuptial wine, you'll become a couple who will go through thick and thin together!
The bridal attendant was full of smiles as she handed the nuptial wine over.
Kim Taehyung stood tall and straight like an unfellable, sturdy pine. Had there been an audience, his poise would've garnered the admiration of many.
He took his cup but continued to stand in front of the bed without moving. The bridal attendant suddenly felt as if the atmosphere in the bridal chamber had turned cold. She secretly wiped away the cold sweat from her forehead before smiling brightly and handing the other cup of nuptial wine to Jeon Jungkook.
Bridal attendant
After Third Young Master and Third Young Madam have drunk the nuptial wine, Third Young Master has to personally remove the phoenix crown on Third Young Madam's head, so that your days will be full of peace and harmony.
Right after the bridal attendant
finished blessing them with auspicious words, Taehyung spoke, his tone frigid.
Kim Taehyung
Alright, you can leave now.
Hah? The bridal attendant was still a little stunned when she subconsciously replied,
Bridal attendant
Third Young Master, you haven't drunk the..
Kim Taehyung
Did you not hear what I said?
Kim Taehyung's voice abruptly turned grave, chilling the previously warm air of the chamber.
The bridal attendant was simply a servant, so she didn't dare to argue with the Kim Family's third young master. With extreme reverence and fear, she answered in agreement and left a few more auspicious words before leaving with the maidservant in a hurry.
She racked her brains but couldn't tell what fit this young master was pulling, so she could onlylament that she was probably the first bridal attendant to have been chased out of a bridal chamber.
Jeon Jungkook had been waiting to drink the nuptial wine with his head lowered.
He blanked out for a moment, not understanding what Kim Taehyung was doing.
Why was this sequence of events a little different from the novel? While he was still confused, Kim Taehyung ordered Senior Servant Gui, Xiyan, and the rest of the servants out.
Jeon Jungkook raised is head to look at the third son of the Kim Family. His brows were nicely shaped and his features were well-defined. Upon seeing his actual person, his face seemed to have been made of fine jade.
Jeon Jungkook thought that he was even more handsome than how the novel had described him. But what was with that unrestrained frosty look in his eyes? Why was he looking at him with such a cold and mocking gaze?
For a moment, Jungkook was stumped for words because he was stunned by his cold and arrogant countenance.
Based on the progression of events in the novel, Kim Taehyung had not consummated their marriage because the female lead had refused to, but Kim Taehyung had still treated the Main character with tenderness and consideration in the bridal chamber.
The way things had just unfolded gave him a sinking feeling.
Seemingly having noticed the confusion in Jungkook's shiny, black eyes, Kim Taehyung stepped forward and bent down slightly. His eyes were like a frozen lake, without a shred of warmth or joy, and the ice seemed to extend for immeasurable depths below the surface. He watched the pretty omega before him closely, as if he were looking for something within his gaze.
After seeing the omega panic, the corners of Kim Taehyung's lips suddenly lifted, revealing a smile that could send chills down anyone's back. He was clearly a handsome and extraordinary man with an awe-inspiring righteous aura. However, when he smiled like that, it added on a hint of devilish charm.
Jeon Jungkook was so entranced by Kim Taehyung's looks, he couldn't react fast enough.
So, when Kim Taehyung raised his hand and slowly poured the nuptial wine all onto the floor..
Jeon Jungkook could only watch his actions in disbelief as that small cup of nuptial wine left a dark, wet stain on the bright red Persian carpet.
He subconsciously mumbled,
Jeon Jungkook
What are you doing?
Without waiting for Jungkook to react, the cup of nuptial wine in his hands was also sent flying. The wine scattered all over his red wedding dress. In the next second, his wrists had been captured in a bruising grip and a voice so cold it could freeze bone rang in his ears.
Kim Taehyung
Can't you tell what I'm doing? My dearbride!
What the heck!? What was going on? Why weren't they going by the book anymore? Jeon Jungkook was inwardly wailing amidst his shock and anger.
However, before he could speak, Kim Taehyung roughly pulled off his phoenix crown and threw it to the ground. Some of the strands of his black hair were yanked out along with the headdress, leaving an aching pain in their wake.
Kim Taehyung kept his voice low as he roared in anger,
Kim Taehyung
You're not fit to wear this phoenix crown!
Jeon Jungkook tried to push away the man before him, but unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough. His hands were just like kitten paws in the face of a alpha's strength, lacking any bit of might.
When Kim Taehyung saw that he was trying to fight back, his eyes bled with anger and he wrapped his hands around Jungkook's tiny, snow-white neck. Even the veins on his slender hands were popping out; his hate for him was clearly reflected in his eyes!
Jeon Jungkook could feel every bit of that murderous intent!
However, Jeon Jungkook had never experienced anything like this before. He only felt the unyielding grip on his neck, squeezing like a noose, forcing him to cry from the pain. He couldn't breathe; it felt like he was going to die in the next moment!
His fair face had already turned blue from suffocation. Kim Taehyung thought he only had to exert a little more strength before he could finally be free from this 'wicked omega' forever!
However, the thought of his grandmother and his brothers, who he knew wished only the best for him, popped into his mind. Kim Taehyung didn't think he could bear watching as their hopes were dashed.
The reputations of both the Houses of Duke of Baekje (Jeon's) and Count of Silla (Kim's) were also at stake if he were to kill this omega. Thus, he could only dejectedly let go of his neck and glare instead, his hatred thick and cloyinglike miasma. He would leave this 'bitch' alive for now
After the grip around his neck loosened, Jungkook touched the bruises left on his neck, his face pale as a sheet. Air was finally free to flow into his throat, causing him to cough uncontrollably.
If he had really been killed by his new husband just now, he would have become the most tragic transmigrator ever.

Jeon Jungkook's throat was unbearably dry, and he couldn't even speak. All he could do was hold his chest and pant for breath.
Kim Taehyung's expression turned even more overcast and ugly.
Kim Taehyung

Sixth Miss of the Jeon Family, don't assume that everyone else is stupid!

Wedding Night³
____________________________
Jungkook frowned and stared at Kim Taehyung's tall figure. His brows were furrowed as his gaze took on a tinge of a probing glint when he looked at him.
He was very confused. The Kim Taehyung in the novel was supposed to be easygoing and open-hearted. He was a rare stalwart gentleman. However, the person before him had nothing in common with the male lead who had been described in the novel. Apart from his looks, his personality was completely different.
If the Kim Taehyung in the novel was like a noble, unsullied bright moon, then the Kim Taehyung before him was like a cold wind cutting through the night, bringing chills wherever he went!
Jeon Jungkook thought long and hard, but he still couldn't understand. Everything had gone exactly like the novel had described, except when it came to Kim Taehyung!
As for the newlywed groom standing with his hands behind his back, he tossed his sleeves and heartlessly walked right out of the bridal chamber. It was as if gazing upon his pretty bride for a moment longer would make him blind, so the only answer left was to leave!
After Kim Taehyung had left, Senior Servant Gui and Jeon Jungkook's personal maidservants rushed in.
When they saw Jungkook sprawled on the ground, eyes blank and hair a mess, the phoenix crown unceremoniously lying on the floor, Senior Servant Gui's eyes reddened as her mind filled in the details of the events that had just occurred in the bridal chamber.
Senior servent Gui
Sixth Miss, please stand up. The floor is cold; you have to take care of your body.
Senior Servant Gui discreetly wiped the corners of his eyes and pulled Jungkook up with the help of Jingyan, letting him rest on the bed.
After sending Xiyan to the bathroom for hot water, Senior Servant Gui gently asked,
Senior servent Gui
Sixth Miss, what happened with Young Master just now? Did Sixth Miss suffer any grievances?
Jungkook finally regained his senses. He still couldn't wrap his head around how Kim Taehyung's personality had changed so much.
Raising his head, he took a look at the nursemaid and maidservants who had accompanied 'Jeon Jungkook' when he had left his maiden home. Jungkook bore with the pain in his neck and the doubts in his heart to smile at them, trying not to look so pitiful. He knew that these servants cared for 'Jeon Jungkook' wholeheartedly.
Jeon Jungkook
It's nothing. You don't have to worry about it, momo.
Jeon Jungkook
Let Xiyan and the others prepare some hot water. I want to bathe and get out of this cumbersome bridal dress.
It seemed like he wanted to hide what just happened by changing the topic, so Senior Servant Gui felt that she shouldn't continue pursuing her line of questioning.
However, she couldn't stop worrying and urged.
Senior servent Gui
Sixth Miss, don't forget. You have this servant and these few girls by your side!
Jungkook nodded absentmindedly, making Senior Servant Gui anxious.
While Fuyan was helping Jungkook wash in the bath, she discovered the bruises ringing his fair neck. Fuyan jumped in shock, but with a quick turn of wit, she didn't ask Jungkook how he had gotten those bruises. Instead, she went to report this matter to Senior Servant Gui without Jungkook's knowledge.
After having a hot bath and changing into a thin, red nightgown, the lighter weight on his body fnally helped dispel the rest of the fright Kim Taehyung had given him.
When he came out of the bathroom, Mingyan had already tidied up the conjugal bed. Fuyan supported him as he walked to the dressing table and helped him remove his makeup. By the time Jungkook finished drinking a small cup of fragrant tea, it was already 9pm.

The groom should have returned to the bridal chamber by now.
Although Jungkook didn't understand why Kim Taehyung's personality had changed so much, he still waited patiently.
Finally, a maidservant dressed in green came..
The maidservant passed on a message:
Maid servant
Third Young Madam, Third Young Master drank too much at the banquet just now because he was receiving toasts from a few princes and close friends.
Maid servant
He was afraid of disturbing Young Madam with the smell of alcohol, so he's already settled in the study. He says to let Young Madam rest earlier.
When Senior Servant Gui and the other maidservants heard the green-clad maidservant's words, all of their expressions turned blank in shock!
Kim Taehyung wasn't going to enter the bridal chamber!?
If this were to spread out of the estate, how would their young miss be able to raise his head outside?
Jungkook sat on the side of the bed and ran through everything that had happened in his mind, trying to recall some details that he had read in the novel.
Then he removed the white handkerchief hidden under the bedsheets. Using a silver needle that he had found, Jungkook pricked his ring finger, letting the blood well up and drip onto the white handkerchief. Finally, he stored the handkerchief away.
He had been orphaned at an early age in the modern world and had grown up poor. After a period of hardship and hard work, dueling back and forth with the schemes of others on his career path while learning how to be two-faced, he had finally made a better life for himself.
Thus, Jeon Jungkook wasn't naive at all. In fact, he was rather smart and tenacious. He knew how to wait and observe the situation.
Although he had been hoping for a perfect and genuine romance, it didn't mean that he was an absolute fool.
Everything that had happened just now was already enough food for thought. He was even starting to suspect that the current Kim Taehyung could be in a similar situation as him, and was no longer the original Kim Taehyung.
Jungkook believed in himself. He wasn't a softie that someone could just trample over.
The most important thing right now was to make sense of the situation.
