He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 38
If even one of those who remain betrays her, Laila will be helplessly dragged before Isabella.
Then, like her other siblings, she would surely be sold into slavery in a foreign land. That much was certain.
Or perhaps, since I possess no talent for mediation, she might even be killed to eliminate the seed of discord.
In any case, it was clear from every angle that if captured by Isabella Fitzroy, Laila would meet no good end.
No matter how many scenarios she considered in her mind, there was no happy ending for her. It was merely a question of when misfortune would arrive.
Yet Laila did not want her inner turmoil to show, so she struggled to appear calm.
“That’s meant to reassure me, isn’t it? Thank you, Sir Brian.”
It seemed Brian had no more words of comfort left. He merely bowed his head silently, and Laila told him she wished to be alone.
“Then please rest, Your Highness.”
“…….”
Brian wasn’t even from Wessex, nor was he someone with whom she shared a true bond. Yet should she thank him for still calling her “princess”?
As she heard him outside instructing his subordinate to stand guard again, Laila rose from her seat.
Careful not to make a sound, she opened the window and looked down. Her lodging was on the second floor—but the first floor’s ceiling was high enough that jumping recklessly wouldn’t be safe.
Glancing around the room, Laila noticed the thick curtains flanking the window. Resolved, she tore them down.

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.
