“Huh?”

Before and after visiting the restroom, they were different.

Pity’s gaze had completely changed.

Just like a newborn horse.

“Snort!”

Pity seemed ready, blowing a breath through his nostrils.

Atia gaped at the suddenly changed Pity.

“What? Did you eat some remedy and awaken?”

This feeling is completely different.

Atia mounted Pity’s back once again.

The fellow who was pawing the ground and rolling his foot, ran out like an arrow as soon as Atia pulled the reins.

Thud. Thud.

The sound of horse hooves differed from the time of departure.

A powerful footstep echoed across the earth.

Atia drove the horse along the white line of the C course.

“Wow? Absolutely amazing!”

Atia was amazed.

He was very fast.

Even without much effort, Pity ran quickly on his own.

In no time, Pity jumped over the obstacles in front of his eyes.

As if there had been no obstacles from the beginning.

“Snort.”

Thud. Thud.

Among the obstacles, there was also a seductive muddy puddle to tempt the horse.

Pity bypassed that temptation too and ran quickly.

Casus had overlooked something.

Pity had tasted Atia’s handiwork.

The moment he had a taste, nothing else enters his eyes.

It was a frightening talent that she had.

.

.

.

“Wow, you’re really fast.”

“Snort!”

“If you participate in a horse V App, you seem like you’d rank first. Unbeknownst to us, you were a powerful horse.”

“Snort!”

Pity, pleased with Atia’s compliment, snorted loudly.

To think he had such strength hidden.

The reversal charm was no joke.

‘If a warhorse like Red Hare from actually existed, it would feel like this.’

Atia ran quickly, facing the cool wind with Pity.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Casus, who was sitting and waiting in a chair, tapped the table with his fingers.

Most of the sand in the upper part of the blue hourglass fell to the bottom, indicating that there wasn’t much time left.

Kesha was restless, only staring at the hourglass.

‘It’s over.’

Casus was sure of his victory.

It was a test that Atia could not win anyway.

There were plenty of obstacles tempting horses on the C course.

Even if she bypassed the obstacles, it was virtually impossible to arrive in such a short time.

Moreover, the horse that Atia chose was not in a particularly good state.

Casus was about to stand up from his seat and tidy up the situation.

But then.

Something passed very quickly.

At a speed that was just blink of an eye.

“Huh?”

It was Atia.

Waving her hand while riding the horse at the exit of the C course.

“Ah, I’ve arrived!”

“…….”

“Has the time passed?”

At that moment.

The last grain of sand in the hourglass fell to the bottom.

Casus stared at Atia with his mouth open.

“…H, how?”

Am I seeing a mirage?

“Did the time pass?”

“My lady!”

Kesha, who had been waiting anxiously, shouted as she rose from her seat.

“You arrived in time! You arrived just in time!”

Casus, raising an eyebrow, assessed the situation.

Surely, it was the same horse that Atia had chosen earlier.

However, the horse’s gaze and momentum had completely changed, as if the horse’s soul had been switched.

Casus chuckled.

“What did you do to the horse?”

“Huh?”

As Atia wiped the sweat trickling down her forehead, she blinked.

“I mean that horse.”

He pointed at the horse.

Atia shrugged her shoulders and answered.

“I didn’t do anything.”

“…….”

“All he did was eat the organic bait that the Duke had set as a trap.”

“…….”

“When you eat something delicious, you gain strength, right? So this beauty ran well.”

“Bait…”

“I was surprised too. I didn’t expect Pity to suddenly become Red Hare.”

“Red… What?”

Casus asked again with a face that didn’t understand at all.

“It just means he’s fast. Anyway, he ate well, so he’s in a good mood.”

Atia stroked Pity and smiled.

In the meantime, Pity had accepted Atia as his master and was rubbing his face against her chest.

Casus examined the horse carefully to confirm whether it was really the same horse as before.

Casus, who had captured the horse’s characteristics at a glance, remembered the horse’s appearance clearly.

White with black spots.

Definitely, it was the same horse.
There had been no switch to another horse in the middle.

Neither was there time, nor were the other horses anywhere but in the nearby stable.

There was no room for doubt.

Casus’s mind was in a whirl.

‘Did he use black magic?’

Or else.

How on earth did he do it?

Regardless, the result was a victory for Atia.

Casus slumped into his seat, chuckling to himself.

‘Ugh.’

Sitting askew caused pain in a place he had injured long ago.

However, his shattered mental state seemed to hurt more.

“Ha ha.”

Now, he had no choice but to let Atia into the training ground.

In an attempt to soothe his complicated feelings, Casus swept up his flowing black hair.

He was certain he would win.

His eyebrows narrowed in between.

Casus, with a cold face, looked at Atia and opened his mouth.

“Fine, I allow you to enter the training ground.”

“Wah!”

Atia, wiping her sweat, cheered.

“Ma’am!”

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.
