I grabbed by Idrish’s wicked hand and was immediately headed towards the room.
He shoved me into a cage as if throwing me in. I curled into a ball and rolled around the cage. I quickly extended my arms and legs and stood on all fours. Through the closed iron bars, I saw Idrish’s face filled with rage.
His yellow eyes glared at me, burning with anger. I felt like I was going to wet myself again or even faint. So I desperately hid my body in the furthest corner and looked away from him.
But, still, seeing that he’s locked me in here, it seems like he’s not planning to kill me right away…
It really was the first time I felt safe inside a cage.
But that sense of security was shattered when Idrish took out a small, sharp dagger. He twirled the blackbladed dagger and then tapped the cage’s iron bars with it.
The sound of the blade hitting the iron sent shivers down my spine.
“I don’t know how you did it, but you must have used some trick.”
What trick? I did lead him on a bit, but…
Reading my thoughts, his eyes flashed like lightning across the dry sky. Far from accepting any excuses, it seemed he might stab me at any moment. As if to prove it, the blade slid along the bars, getting closer and closer to me. I shivered and scurried away, trying to avoid where the blade might touch.
“My words must seem like a joke to you.”
I timidly shook my head.
How could they be…? I’m so scared I’m about to faint…
“This is the last time I’m showing leniency. If this happens again, I’ll cut off your head on the spot.”
Eek! No. My head. It’s small, but I can’t lose it.
I crouched down and kept still, trying not to look defiant.
“And you’re grounded here.”
Bang!
The iron bars closed with a loud noise, and a thick black cloth was thrown over the cage. Only after the pair of yellow eyes disappeared did I slump down in my spot.
Ha, I’m alive for now, but what do I do now?
If I don’t escape, I’ll be fuel for the villain’s fire. If I’m caught escaping, it’ll be straight to the gallows. Why do these things always happen to me?
(This is a time separator.)
Idrish, surprisingly, released us when the grounding period ended.
I returned to Idrish’s bed.
The first day back, I really wanted to bite Idrish’s ear off in his sleep and run away.
But what would that do to that big human?
So I held back.
Surely a better opportunity will come. An opportunity to escape…
So for a few days, I spent my time thinking only about escaping.
Suddenly, the door opened.
I had been lying on my back, napping, and I quickly rolled back to my proper place. I was definitely not lazing around; I was lying down, planning my escape. Really.
“Thorny Demon King!”
Oh, the kid’s back again?
Rodriro often came to see me, and Idrish allowed it, though I’m not sure why.
But there was a condition that I was not allowed to go outside.
It was as if he knew I was planning to escape.
“Thorny, that friend you kept wanting to see—I finally brought him. Don’t be lonely anymore.”
My eyes lit up.
Rodriro pulled it out.
The clever thing! It’s finally time to start the escape plan!
This plan, named “Create a Hedgehog Boyfriend,” had begun a few days earlier.
That day, Idrish had taken me outside.
In the reception room were the tailor, Zeros, and Rodriro. He said he was going to order clothes.
Rodriro had already been measured and was swinging his legs in a soft chair, smiling cheerfully at me.
They measured Idrish, took some of his fur for the clothing material. Apparently, when mixed with the fabric, the clothes transform along with him when shapeshifting.
Why did they bring me? They’re not making me clothes.
I was growing bored when it happened.
“Thorn, this looks just like you.”
Rodrigo held out a pincushion filled with needles to me.
Do all thorns look alike? Then you look like a big mop. Because the white hair is similar.
“Why? Don’t you like it? You can be friends.”
Then, like a bolt of lightning in my head, the thirtysecond escape plan occurred to me.
I need that pincushion to escape. How can I get it?
I racked my brain.
Okay. This is the best way.
I braced myself, and approached the pincushion gingerly. Then I rubbed my nose on the pincushion.
“Do you like your friend? That’s a relief, after all, you’re alike…….”
Yes, yes. I really like it. So give it to me.
I rubbed my body against it even more fervently, licking the head of the pincushion (as I presumed).
For some reason, Rodrigo’s eyes grew wider and wider. Why? He seemed utterly shocked.
Not understanding his expression, I continued to rub and lick the pincushion.
“Idrish! Look at this. Thorn King is acting weird.”
Me? Why me?
Idrish strode over. He too looked at me and frowned.
Idrish snatched the pincushion from beside me. I tumbled sideways, exposing my soft pink belly. Embarrassed at showing what I shouldn’t, I quickly got back up.
I looked at the fallen pincushion forlornly, then glared at Idrish.
Why are you being spiteful again?
“Depraved mushroom. This is confiscated.”
Me? Depraved?
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.
