Seven Times I Came, Seven Times You Didn't

Summary

There's a rule in Pine Ridge—women are only allowed to leave the mountain seven times in their lives.

If they aren't able to marry a foreigner who's not from Pine Ridge, they can only marry a local mountaineer and become a guardian of the mountain.

Because of that, I've borrowed some cosmetics from my grandma seven times in a row. Every time, I'm often wearing my prettiest dress and waiting for the man, who has promised to whisk me away from Pine Ridge, to marry me.

But despite having crossed the mountain and reached the same town seven times in a row, Joseph Kingsley is never there.
