Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 38
The evening banquet was splendid.
The heads of the northern noble houses, invited to celebrate the Grand Duke’s marriage and solidify unity in the north, vied with one another in praising Sir Dakua’s cuisine—the only chef from the Imperial Palace kitchens ever granted a noble title.
Centerpieces adorned with colorful flowers grown in the garden and elegantly flickering candles further brightened the banquet hall’s atmosphere.
Yet, above all else, tonight’s undeniable highlight was Duchess Yuriella Eelheim—the Grand Duke’s breathtaking bride—whose beauty seemed like the crowning masterpiece crafted by the maidservants and housekeeper.
Beneath delicate lashes shimmered clear, vivid crimson eyes.
A silk dress dyed in the same deep red as those eyes gleamed with a soft luster.
Rosy cheeks and lips as crimson as blooming flowers.
Unlike her fairy-like appearance at the wedding that had drawn gasps from the guests, tonight she appeared enchanting and alluring—even as her clear, innocent impression remained untouched.
The rugged northern gentlemen, usually so gruff and inexpressive they often seemed angry, flushed noticeably red—not merely from the orange-tinged candlelight.
Each time the Duchess let out a clear, bright laugh, a few strands of her mystical strawberry-blonde hair, left loose over her slender neck, shimmered and swayed against her smooth, pale skin.
Her attendants gaped in awe as they watched their lord, utterly entranced by the beautiful bride.
Some rubbed their eyes in disbelief; others dropped their forks in shock; still others struggled to hold back tears of emotion.
Though each reacted differently, they all shared the same thought: Good heavens—our lord has finally kindled in his heart the blazing flame capable of melting eternal, unyielding ice.
Watching their reactions, the Grand Duke’s servants swelled with pride—a feeling of fulfillment for having roused Her Imperial Highness the Duchess from sleep at dawn despite her exhaustion.
Surprisingly, the loudest among them was not the head maid Rosalynne, but Sandra, the Duchess’s new handmaiden—none other than Cassandra Cabeza, the dark sorceress concealing her true form with an illusion spell.
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.
