The soft glow of fireflies created a mysterious atmosphere. Amidst the ambient sound of softly resonating firefly chirps, Geon looked at Yeon-ho with eyes deeper than a silver abyss, then uttered a solemn voice.

“I like you.”

At Geon’s words, a quake shook Yeon-ho’s heart. Words sweeter than any honey seeped into Yeon-ho’s heart, melting him like never before.

Yeon-ho couldn’t hear the enchanting melody of fireflies in his ears. The subtle glow of the fireflies was also invisible.

Only Geon’s voice, only Geon’s figure, stood distinctly before Yeon-ho.

Only today did Yeon-ho realize that someone’s presence could make a heart pound like this, that someone’s existence could have such a profound impact.

However, as Yeon-ho’s feelings for Geon grew, a heavy burden of guilt weighed down his heart.

Despite earnestly desiring to hear those words, Yeon-ho couldn’t provide the desired answer.

The person Geon desired was the woman Hong Yeon-ho, and Yeon-ho couldn’t become the woman Geon desired.

Since deciding to live as a soldier, Hong Yeon-ho had abandoned the life of a woman.

Therefore, feeling any excitement or emotion towards a man was not something Yeon-ho should experience.

Meeting Geon as Hong Yeon-ho was also a farewell after today. So, Yeon-ho had to say that the meeting with Geon was ending today.

He had to say there would be no more encounters, that he couldn’t accept those feelings.

However, his lips refused to move, and Yeon-ho slowly moved his hand instead.

As the hands that were once held together slowly separated, ripples spread through Geon’s calm gaze like a thrown pebble.

Although Yeon-ho’s heart wavered at this sight, he could no longer postpone it.

Originally, this meeting should not have started. Coming this far was a luxury for Yeon-ho.

Deceiving Geon further would be an act he couldn’t commit, both for himself and for Geon.

This meeting, with a predetermined conclusion, needed to come to an end today.

“…It seems it won’t work out.”

As if a large rock was placed on his lips, they did not easily move.

However, Yeon-ho managed to force out the words that his heavy lips seemed reluctant to form.

“It seems our meeting ends here, Nari.”

“…May I ask why?”

Did the melancholy in Geon’s voice stem from mere sentimentality?

Before, Yeon-ho had never sensed such an emotion, but now, it seemed to transmit through Geon’s voice, drenching even Yeon-ho’s heart in sadness.

Nevertheless, Yeon-ho, suppressing the perceived sadness, responded to Geon’s question.

“I don’t want to disappoint you. I don’t want to let Nari down.”

Meeting Geon as Yeon-ho would eventually expose his true identity. Even if that didn’t happen, the day Geon discovered Yeon-ho’s true self would render their current relationship untenable.

If Geon found out that Yeon-ho, who claimed to be a woman, had deceived him, what would Geon’s reaction be?
Certainly, one might think that he deceived her. The sense of betrayal Yeon-woo feels will be significant, as much as she believed in him.

It was clear that the day Geon found out Yeon-woo’s true identity, he would be disappointed and leave her.

For Yeon-woo, Geon was already a special existence beyond anything else.

Yeon-woo was afraid of losing someone like Geon.

On the day her identity was revealed, even this existing relationship would crumble.

Therefore, she had to stop here.

But Geon, with confidence in his response, seemed to disagree.

“Why would you think that way? There’s no reason for Nari to be disappointed in my 낭자.”

Yeon-ho couldn’t comprehend Geon’s words.

She had already saved his life. That alone put Yeon-ho in great debt to Geon.

Furthermore, what could be disappointing about Yeon-ho to Geon?

She slowly shook her head.

“Nari doesn’t know about me.”

“Then isn’t it something to learn about from now on?”

“No. I… I’m not Hong Yeon-ho.”

Unable to say, “Because I’m not Hong Yeon-ho,” Yeon-woo simply bit down on her lips.

Geon thought that Yeon-ho spoke this way because she didn’t know her own identity.

The hand that clutched at the edge of her skirt with an inexpressible sense of frustration tightened.

The more Geon learned about her, the more he was sure to be disappointed in her.

Yeon-woo let out a deep sigh. As she did, the tension in the hand that clutched at the skirt also eased.

“I… I’m not the woman you think I am.”

Geon read fear in Yeon-ho’s eyes.

But he didn’t know where that fear was coming from.

All Geon could do was reassure Yeon-ho, who seemed afraid, as much as possible.

“I will accept 낭자 no matter who she is.”

Geon gazed at her with unwavering eyes.

“So, there will never be a moment when I’m disappointed in 낭자.”

Geon’s gentle voice comforted Yeon-ho’s heart.

His touch was so tender that it hurt.

“Just having 낭자 by my side is enough for me.”

Geon cherished the sight of Yeon-ho before him as if she might fly away at any moment.

If he could move Yeon-ho’s heart just by confining her with his gaze, how wonderful would that be?

He would have done it hundreds, thousands of times.

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.
