Noah looked at the ring on Delina’s finger.
“This is a bit unexpected, though.”
“I told you. We are lovers…”
“To be honest, I can’t believe that.”
“Why?”
“I heard you seemed to be affiliated with the Ulphirim Ducal House. If so, I might have given it to you just for a simple deal with the Ducal House. Besides, most importantly…”
Noah’s hand held Delina. When Delina’s body trembled slightly, Noah’s mouth curved upward.
“Your reaction doesn’t seem like that of lovers who’ve been together for a year.”
“What, what do you mean?”
“You said it’s been a year, but you’re this surprised by just holding hands?”
“Well, that’s… I mean, it’s awkward because you didn’t recognize me and treated me like a stranger.”
“Is that so? But isn’t that a bit strange too? Your lover doesn’t recognize you, and you don’t seem particularly curious about that part.”
“…”
“You know, where we came from and who we are.”
After hesitating for a moment, Delina nodded slightly. Noah’s face showed that he had expected this.
“Yeah, that’s another thing you found out with your special skills?”
“You could say that.”
Delina continued to ask, “So, are you… Is Celine the one you prefer now?”
Even as she said this, Delina clasped her hands nervously. Noah answered, “It’s more like capturing attention, and I do like her. So, it’s fun.”
‘As expected…’
Delina, having heard Noah’s response, awkwardly raised the corners of her mouth to hide her disappointment.
“Well, was that question too obvious? Celine is probably more important to you than me right now.”
“True. That’s right. But…”
Noah’s face approached Delina’s until they were almost nose to nose. The eyes of the two met closely.
“It’s oddly okay even without Celine around.”
“…”
“It seems like my attention is drawn more towards you.”
Noah winked as he spoke. Despite what he said, Delina raised her lips awkwardly, trying not to show her disappointment.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have asked such an obvious question. Right now, Celine is probably more important to you than I am.”
“Yeah. That’s right. However…”
Noah’s face came very close to Delina’s. When the two looked into each other’s eyes at such a close distance, Noah said, “Strangely, it’s okay even without Celine around.”
“…”
“Moreover, it seems like my attention is drawn more towards your side.”
Noah laughed, twisting his eyes. Delina, wanting to say something in response, bit her lip when she felt the warmth near her ear. Then Noah chuckled.
“Perhaps I’m doing something funny again. Being a clown and all.”
“…”
As Noah spoke teasingly, Delina glared at him without saying a word. Noah continued.
“Alright, enough with the jokes. Tell me quickly. What is this ring, really?”
As Noah casually swept Delina’s hair behind her ear, her ear, which had become warm, was revealed.
“This reaction is more like that of lovers who haven’t been together for a year rather than… Do you, by any chance, like me?”
“What?”
“Did you confess and start dating? It hasn’t been that long?”
“No, but… I mean, that… You confessed to me first?”
“I confessed to you first? I wouldn’t do that.”
With a face that seemed to say that it was absolutely impossible, Noah made Delina feel unfairly frustrated. Delina raised her head with a face that seemed to say it was unfair.
“No, no! You did it completely differently! You confessed to me with eyes full of honey. You said you can’t live without me, grabbed my apron and even begged me, holding on to my skirt, saying you’ll reveal the answer later. Why would you do that if you didn’t confess to me?”
At Delina’s exaggerated and truthful words, Noah laughed.
“As expected. We haven’t been lovers for a year.”
“Yeah! But the ring you gave me is true. And, you gave me the ring after you confessed ‘first.'”
Delina emphasized that Noah confessed first until the end, as if her sense of injustice wouldn’t be alleviated. Then Noah, with a still amusing expression, asked.
“So, what’s your answer?”
“……Huh?”
“I begged like that, saying I went through all that trouble. So, after I did all that, what’s your answer to that confession?”
The answer to the confession.
Noah stared intently at Delina, as if to say he would listen to that.
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.
