“It’s nothing.”
Idrish looked out the window again and replied icily. The maid, sensing the mood, quickly picked up her teacup and left the room.
Idrish couldn’t take his eyes off the well-matched couple outside the window.
“What are they talking about that’s so interesting when they’re not even coming in?”
Even Terminus had lightly touched Cecilia’s hair.
Seeing that, Idrish’s mind became as sticky and confused as if it had been doused in pumpkin soup.
He eventually found himself resenting even Cecilia.
Isn’t that going too far?
It was only about a month ago that Cecilia said she liked him.
Is a feeling of liking someone so easily reversible?
Was your heart so light when you said you disliked me?
So much so that lifting the curse became secondary? Of course, he never neglected it yesterday or the day before, but somehow that was the mood.
It felt like he had been pushed to the back of Cecilia’s mind.
It felt like he was nothing in her eyes, as she was only looking at Ternya.
It felt like there were at least three snakes living in his stomach.
Idrish immediately went outside. His steps were almost like running.
He saw Cecilia and Terminus from a distance.
Terminus was the first to notice Idrish. He opened his mouth wide in a smile.
“Oh, Idrish. My friend. It’s been a while.”
Idrish did not register the warm greeting.
Instead, he walked straight up and stood between Cecilia and Terminus. Cecilia looked up at him in surprise.
“Idrish? What’s wrong? What happened?”
“Where have you been?”
“Ah, we were on our way back from breakfast together.”
Lies.
You also shopped for clothes, touched each other’s hair, and bought shoes and shawls. You showed off these clothes in front of that guy like you did to me.
Idrish swallowed the words boiling inside him.
He knew he shouldn’t be like this.
Even so, it was hard to hold back.
How could you like me and then like a guy like that for a long time!
Yes. That’s it.
Cecilia was too frail and delicate, innocent and beautiful, and Ternya was sinister.
If Cecilia said later that she would meet a really good person and leave, then I would let her go…
For now, the certain thing was that Terminus was not that person. Cecilia was too precious for a guy like that.
Rationalizing like this, Idrish tugged at Cecilia’s wrist. Her brown eyes widened at the rare contact. Even her uplifted eyelashes looked adorable.
“We have something to do, don’t we?”
“Ah, that.”
Cecilia instantly realized that Idrish was talking about the curse.
Of course, she couldn’t understand why it was so urgent.
Terminus, who was standing beside them, looked confused, not understanding their conversation.
“Do you need my help?”
“No, it’s something Cecilia and I can handle alone. So, you stay out of it.”
Idrish cut off Terminus’s words.
Terminus scratched his forehead, uncomfortable under Idrish’s hostile gaze. His forehead furrowed beneath his benign expression.
“Just the two of you? What’s so urgent?”
“It’s a secret. Make sure no one comes into the room.”
Deliberately making it sound ambiguous, Idrish gently tugged Cecilia’s wrist again. Cecilia trotted behind him, keeping up with his quick pace.
“Has it suddenly become too painful? Did it get worse? Does it hurt a lot?”
Cecilia’s round eyes drooped like a puppy that had been caught in the rain. Idrish, without realizing it, felt relieved seeing her worry about him.
Seeing her worry, she must not dislike me. Surely, she can’t be compared to a wolf like that.
“Yes, it hurts. That’s why I need you right now.”
“That’s strange, what happened when I wasn’t there? Why did it suddenly get worse? Yeah, let’s go quickly.”
Cecilia tightly gripped Idrish’s hand, as if trying to alleviate even a bit of his pain, and led the way.
“From now on, I’d prefer if you didn’t go out alone without saying anything. We never know when it will get worse.”
“I’m sorry, I won’t do it again.”
Idrish glanced back at the remaining Terminus and secretly smiled triumphantly.
“Ah, it hurts.”
“Please endure just a little longer. We’re going to the banquet soon.”
“But it’s already been several hours. I might faint before even reaching the entrance of the banquet hall. Don’t laugh, I’ve actually experienced it.”
“I’ll make sure you won’t faint. Could you please just stay still? I’ll take care of the rest.”
“Staying still is hard too.”
I argued with the maids.
An important gathering where the leaders of all the tribes gather, so we need to start decorating with flowers early in the morning? Alright, I get that. I’m convinced.
But isn’t this too much?
The maids woke me up even before sunrise. They pushed me, still crusty-eyed, into a bathtub filled with hot water.
Up to that point, it was good. My tense muscles relaxed, and more importantly, I agreed with going to the banquet after a clean bath.
But that was just the beginning.
They scrubbed my entire body, then applied and wiped off some fragrant oil that had a strange smell, over and over.
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.
