“Wow… that’s an unbelievable fa, face.”

Ollentia was amazed and fascinated by her husband’s face.

“Since my lady has shown me her sincerity.”

Her husband’s dark eyes focused solely on her. There was no trace of impurity in them.

It was beyond the description of mere beauty, and her heart felt so full it seemed it might burst.

How wonderful it would be if such a person were really my husband.

With that thought, Ollentia fainted right there.

After waking from a vivid dream, everything seemed clearer.

The vile Count Sokor and the cunning Countess Kikojelia.

It seemed it was time to let go of all the lingering attachments to them.

Returning to her room, Ollentia, with fiery eyes, said to Bobbie.

“Let’s pack up immediately! We need to leave this wretched place.”

Bobbie, looking out at the now darkened window, shook his head.

“It’s too late. Lady, it would be better to move in the morning.”

“Ah… Right, that makes sense.”

“What are you planning to do? Surely you didn’t get a special marriage permit.”

“Doesn’t it seem ridiculous even to you?”

Ollentia wandered aimlessly around the room before collapsing onto the bed. She felt as if all the moisture had been sucked out of her body, leaving her physically and emotionally parched.

Despite knowing that Sokor would do anything for his own benefit, she realized that not having severed ties with him was a fault of her own.
Ollentia pushed her sadness deep inside.

Now was not the time to wallow in sorrow.

She resolved never to marry the Duke of Luxus as the Count and Countess intended. If she had to marry, she wanted it to be with someone she truly desired.

Ollentia firmly made this resolution and lay in bed, pulling the soft blanket over herself. She needed to sleep quickly and wake up at dawn to leave the Count’s mansion she had grown fond of.

The Apricot Tree Family of Armeniaca.

The grand and beautiful Count’s mansion that sheltered the people of Armeniaca.

She had to leave that place to find a new path.

Ollentia closed her wet eyes and tried to fall asleep.

Bobbie looked at her with pity, turned off the light, and left the room.

Ollentia was left alone in the vast room.

Early dawn.

Several carriages were parked in front of the mansion for Ollentia. One was a luxury carriage, and the others were for luggage.

Surely, Sokor had prepared these, knowing Ollentia would leave the Count’s mansion.

Ollentia gritted her teeth.

“He’s made up his mind to mock me.”

Sokor preparing the carriages was probably his last semblance of kindness.

With the help of the servants, Ollentia loaded all the luggage that the maids of the annex had packed at dawn onto the luggage carriages. She planned to travel with only the essentials, so there wasn’t much.
Bobbie, having checked the luggage, said to Ollentia.

“Everything is almost ready, Miss.”

“Good. Let’s go quickly. I want to leave this place as soon as possible.”

Ollentia harbored deep resentment towards Sokor, who had put her in this situation. Though it was Kikojelia’s plan, it was ultimately his doing.

Moreover, the Count’s mansion of Armeniaca was a place filled with memories of her parents. Leaving like this was not ideal.

Of course, she had to endure this brief separation to move forward.

Ollentia pulled Bobbie’s hand towards the luxury carriage.

“Let’s ride together. It’s lonely otherwise.”

While it was unheard of for a servant to ride in the same carriage as nobility, Ollentia wondered if such distinctions were necessary.

Bobbie reluctantly nodded.

“Alright, Miss. I’ll always be by your side.”

His words were more comforting than he could know.

Just as Ollentia was about to bravely step into the carriage, she heard voices from behind. It was the steward and the remaining old servants of the Count’s mansion. When Sokor became the Count, he had almost expelled the long-serving servants, bringing in new ones, so there weren’t many old servants left.

“Lady Ollentia!”

“Are you really leaving, Miss?”

Their voices were laden with deep sorrow, a feeling that resonated in her heart.
Ollentia turned her head and looked at them, saying,

“I’m leaving. Take care.”

“Miss, you will come back, won’t you? You must return.”

“Do you all know why I’m leaving?”

“Yes. But I will stay at the Count’s mansion.”

“That’s right. We will stay and wait for your return, Miss.”

Their decision to stay at the Count’s mansion felt like a commitment to her.

Indeed, it seemed better for the steward and the servants to remain steadfastly at the Count’s mansion.

Ollentia felt their profound loyalty and nodded.

Now it was truly time to leave the beloved Count’s mansion.

“We will see each other again. I will make sure of it.”

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.
