Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 88
Orentia, her heart racing, tried to open the wardrobe door. But it was locked, and no matter how much she shook it, it wouldn’t budge.
“Hold on just a little longer, Jo. I’ll get you out right away.”
Seeing young Dimidius trapped inside the wardrobe, terrified, was utterly shocking. Orentia had only ever known Dimidius as confident and strong—she’d never even considered the possibility of him being fragile and helpless like this.
She tried using her holy power to break the lock, but it didn’t work. Perhaps it wouldn’t manifest here, within the nightmare Mongma had created.
Then she had to find another object capable of breaking the lock.
She was inspecting heavy ornaments and furniture for a while when—
Her eyes fell on a suitable item. It was a large music box, sturdy enough that striking the lock with it wouldn’t cause significant damage.
Orentia immediately picked up the music box and slammed it down onto the lock. Dimidius inside the wardrobe should have been startled, but he seemed completely numb, huddling tightly in on himself. The sight of James Belial’s son so obediently accepting his punishment filled Orentia with burning fury, and she kept hammering at the lock.
Yet her hand only grew sore, while the lock remained intact. Perhaps only the one who held the key could dismantle this wardrobe—this hell.
As soon as that thought struck her, Orentia risked exposure and moved to the living room on the first-floor hall. James Belial was still seated on the sofa, reading a newspaper. Seeing the adult Dimidius overlaid onto that image was profoundly unsettling.
So this was why Dimidius loathed his own face so deeply—because it resembled James Belial.
Now, at last, she understood clearly.
Orentia stepped in front of James Belial and snatched the newspaper from his hands.
“Hey. Can you hear me?”
James Belial looked around, startled, then muttered quietly,
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.
