“Don’t make trouble just because of the disappearance of a single countryside village. How can you succeed me, so concerned about such an incident?”
The village, now turned into a pile of ashes, held nothing. The knights approached to take Theodore away again. Theodore, shaking as if greatly shocked, picked up a bucket of water nearby and sprinkled Celine, who was wrapped in cloth. Seeing this, Heir’s eyebrows rose.
“What are you doing? You…?”
Before Heir could finish speaking, Theodore turned around and threw himself into a pit of fire. The startled knights tried to follow him, but his figure had already disappeared.
“…….”
In the cold underground prison, the two who reunited after several years maintained silence for a moment. The atmosphere was far from pleasant. Celine looked at Theodore with trembling eyes, and eventually, as if realizing something, she murmured.
“Theodore, the Crown Prince who left the palace and hid himself…”
“…….”
“And the reason why the Emperor massacred all the people in our village. It’s all because…”
Only now did Celine, who had realized everything, tremble. Theodore bowed his head, saying nothing. Soon, Celine looked at him and asked in a trembling voice.
“Was it because of you that all this happened?”
“…….”
“How, how could you…”
Even then, Celine noticed the burn marks covering half of Theodore’s face and the scars scattered throughout. Eventually, Celine recalled. She remembered lying in a cave in the forest for a while, waking up to the sound of her own crying.
Mom, Dad…! Lena! Gio!
And the desperate words she had called until the end.
Teacher!
Theodore slowly raised his head and met eyes with Celine.
“Sorry, truly sorry, Celine.”
“…….”
“I couldn’t be by your side after that day.”
“Then… Then, were you the one who brought food when I was alone in the village?”
Theodore nodded quietly. Celine exhaled as if out of breath.
“So, your father burned down our village, and you saved me?”
“…….”
“To the nobles we hated so much. I… I…”
Emotions surged, and tears welled up in Celine’s eyes.
“Why you? Why, why are you a Crown Prince? And because of you, because of you…!”
Celine’s scream echoed in the underground prison. Delina, who had been watching from behind, suddenly heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
“……!”
Soon, Ashed’s figure appeared as he descended the stairs. When Delina looked at Ashed with surprise, he responded briefly.
“I came after hearing the news.”
Having descended all the stairs, Ashed looked at Celine and Theodore. Then, Theodore slowly approached Ashed, prostrating himself in front of him.
“I greet His Highness the Crown Prince.”
As Theodore bowed to the ground before Ashed, Delina and Celine’s eyes widened. However, Theodore continued to speak with his head down.
“I dare to plead with His Highness the Crown Prince. Please, have mercy and spare Celine’s life. The wrongs were done by me, showing the tragedy to the child. If you spare the child, I will offer my humble life in return. So, please… I beg you.”
Ashed couldn’t say a word. At that moment, Celine spoke with a trembling voice.
“……What are you doing?”
“……. ”
“You’re the Crown Prince. The son of the Crown. But why are you bowing like that? Get up quickly.”
Tears welled up in Celine’s eyes.
“Don’t. Don’t do such useless things because of me. Please, please don’t do that…!”
Celine’s sobbing once again filled the underground prison. Tears finally fell from Theodore’s eyes, and Delina and Ashed, who were watching him, remained silent.
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.
