At the End of Ruin, There You Are (56 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 88
People’s hearts were truly strange and fickle. It was rare for everyone to welcome Lady Ostein’s arrival at Lusenford, given how proud and formidable the Lusenfords were.
If it had been like this from the beginning, the people would have resented the foreign Grand Duchess for looking down on Lusenford.
Caella faintly understood that, like many noblewomen married off to foreign lands or distant regions, she would have been briefly welcomed only when spending money—so she simply hadn’t done it.
Pheon didn’t miss how Caella, perched carelessly atop the sturdy wooden box where items had been stored, looked happy yet occasionally lowered her head to brush something gently, then quietly sighed as she tried to suppress a small sob.
Sometimes she’d look at him too. Even though her gaze held no discernible emotion, Pheon smiled every time her eyes met his. He couldn’t help but smile—it simply brought him joy just to see her.
He had practically carried Caella here himself, stepping in to support her after she’d let go of everything in despair.
Left alone, she would have quietly lain down, refusing food or action, waiting only for death. Now, the woman who once wore no expression at all smiled upon seeing people she cherished. Wasn’t that enough? More than enough—it overflowed.
‘As long as she doesn’t die, that’s all that matters.’
If she smiled occasionally, ate even a little—that was enough. He never expected Caella to smile at him, speak to him, or ask him for anything. That person didn’t exist anymore. He had killed her.
He closed his eyes. Each time he reminded himself she was gone, an unbearable agony surged through him. Even locking himself in a cave and cutting off his leg, pulling out his entrails, and gouging out his eyes couldn’t overcome this pain.
Though the agony blurred everything around him, only the woman sitting quietly like a doll remained vividly clear. The pain stabbing his eyes and gnawing his brain struck without warning, bringing involuntary tears to the brink—but he endured.
It was already done. He had done it. Always too late—he’d lost Caella, and even the child he’d never known existed.
“His Grace really ordered a great deal. This color suits you well too.”
“Pack everything carefully.”
Caella seemed intent on just piling up those precious fabrics without using them. Pheon spoke up without hesitation.

Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.

Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.

There’s not much repenting going on that I can see. It’s mostly been Pheon doing what he wants and insisting Caella stay by his side even though that’s causing her more harm.

It brings tears to my eyes seeing how deeply her home people cares for her she could recover finely if she was with her father and her people.
