Take It Out On You

,

Summary:

Beautiful Monster. Cold Demon. Ice Queen.

These are just some of the words that describe Lee Irene. For being part of SM, a secret organization that opposes the Royal Family, and by causing thousands of deaths in The Queendom, Irene was inevitably sentenced to death and executed by her wife Seulgi.

As she was engulfed in the flames of her beloved, Irene wholeheartedly knew that she deserved nothing less than this outcome. So it comes as a shock to Irene when she opens her eyes and finds herself back days before her wedding with Her Royal Highness Queen Kang Seulgi. This time, Irene vows that things will be different as she finds her way to keep everyone safe, and live this life without regrets while reclaiming who she truly is:  Bae Joohyun. 

Notes:

Hi,

It's been a long time since I have written anything for the sake of just pure fun and pleasure, just glad that I'm getting the hang of it again.

I've had this Seulrene idea since last year and it took me a long while of daily grinding to fix a lot of details in the plot but ultimately I really just decided to go for it.

I ask for patience with the updates but I hope you'll like this, and I would appreciate if you can give your comments down below uwu

Each chapter has a particular song that can help up set the tone/mood the story. It might be a good idea to listen to them while you're reading.

Chapter 1: Notes

Chapter Text

Hi, 

Gwyndolyn here! 

It's been a long time. The past 2 years have been a real ride. Life got in the way of my writing, and things have been hard. Especially now that I am jobless, and struggling so hard. 

Honestly, things have been so rough now that I feel so lost with my life.  But I know I need to do something for myself where I could feel a bit better and slightly fulfilled at least in one aspect in my life, and that's actually writing. Specifically going back to updating Take It Out On You.

I never really abandoned Take It Out On You. For the past 2 years, I've had some ideas here and there, written some random scenes in future chapters. But for some reason I just couldn't get these next few chapters right.  I was trying to write the updates but I just couldn't get the chapters and storyline right. 

As time have passed, I know my writing style has gone through some changes, and every time I return to the piece there were some details that I know I needed to change for what I am planning especially in the latter chapters.

Sometimes, I even think that the characters themselves were demanding me to do it. That's probably one of the many reasons I couldn't proceed beyond the 13th chapter.   

I am following my gut. That is why I am doing some revamping from the first Chapter to the latest Chapter. I hid all of the published chapter as I'm undergoing through the changes, but look, the first chapter is out! I hope you're still here to continue this journey with me and enjoy this version. 

 

With love, 

Gwyndolyn.
