Seeing Jinwol being called to the middle palace, Heekyung seemed to have called him knowing that she had received the imperial order.
Could it be that she called him to exert pressure, having received the imperial order? Tense, Jinwol swallowed his saliva.
“Look here. Bring what you’ve prepared.”
“Yes, Mama.”
When Heekyung gave instructions, palace maids brought a dessert table.
The pastries on the table were extraordinarily extravagant, not something an ordinary palace maid would encounter.
Seeing the appearance of the pastries for the first time in his life, Jinwol opened his mouth in surprise, and Heekyung, with a benevolent smile, spoke.
“I prepared this for you, so eat comfortably.”
“T-Thank you, Mama!”
Jinwol began to eat the pastries on the table hastily.
Heekyung offered tea with a gentle smile.
“How is it? Does it taste good?”
“Yes, I’ve never tasted such delicious food in my life.”
Is the taste of heaven something said about the teeth? The taste of the pastries he was eating for the first time was beyond imagination.
As Jinwol began to receive Heekyung’s affection, she tried to entertain her in every way.
After finishing all the pastries and having a light snack with the remaining tea, Heekyung spoke.
“How is your body?”
“What?”
Jinwol replied with a puzzled expression.
Why ask about her health in this situation?
“I am always in good health.”
“Really? It’s quite strange. It seems that the poison is spreading slowly.”
“……?!”
Jinwol, who had turned pale for a moment, dropped the tea cup she was holding.
With a crisp and breaking sound, the fragments of the teacup scattered around.
Heekyung casually uttered harsh words with a calm expression.
“This is the first time I’ve used such a large amount all at once. It seems I made a mistake in the formulation.”
Heekyung continued to speak in a calm and leisurely tone.
“Shall I clench and unclench your hand once?”
“……!”
Following Heekyung’s words, Jinwol clenched and unclenched her hand.
From some point, her hand began to feel numb, and eventually, there was no sensation in the moving hand.
Jinwol’s voice began to tremble softly.
“M-Mama, I can’t feel anything…!”
“The reaction was slower than I thought, but it seems the mixture didn’t fail. Soon, blood will be vomited.”
“Cough!”
As Heekyung’s words ended, Jinwol forcefully vomited blood.
Only then did Heekyung smile in satisfaction.
“The poison will gradually rise from your fingertips and toes. Once it reaches your heart, your pitiful life of four years will come to an end.”
“Mama!”
Jinwol prostrated herself in front of Heekyung, fervently begging and rubbing her hands together.
In her eyes, tears resembling chicken droppings rolled down.
“P-Please spare me, Mama!”
“Do you want to live?”
“Yes, I’ll do anything!”
“Anything?”
“Yes! I’ll do anything if you spare me!”
Upon Jinwol’s promise to do anything, Heekyung took out paper and a brush.
“Write.”
“W-What is this…?”
Jinwol looked puzzled at the paper and brush placed in front of her.
“Write that you voluntarily left the palace.”
“Are you telling me to leave the palace?”
“Do you want to live, or do you want to write a will?”
“I-I will write!”
Following Heekyung’s instructions, Jinwol wrote a letter stating that she had left the palace due to personal reasons.
After finishing writing, Jinwol, trembling, showed the paper to Heekyung.
Whether she liked the contents of the paper or not, Heekyung, with a satisfied smile, tossed a palace emblem (used as proof when leaving the palace) to Jinwol.
“Tonight, at Hashi (9-11 PM). Once you cross the Gilmajae Pass, you’ll see a hut. You can meet a man with an antidote there.”
“Thank you, Mama…!”
Suddenly, Heekyung collected her benevolent smile and slashed Jinwol with a sharp gaze.
“If you return to the palace or leak this information to others, then you will truly have to write a will.”
“Where would I go to say such things…”
“Then go out.”
At Heekyung’s dismissal, Jinwol, with a swollen face full of tears, left the chamber door.
As soon as Jinwol left, Kim Taeseok entered.
“You called, Mama.”
“You came at the right time.”
Heekyung, glancing at the chamber door Jinwol had left, spoke softly.
“Tonight, Hashi. Go to the Gilmajae Pass.”
Her voice was cold and emotionless, revealing no emotions.
“We must handle it discreetly.”
“I will handle it properly.”
Kim Taeseok didn’t need any special explanation; it seemed familiar to him.
Since the day Jinwol left with the palace emblem, no one had seen her.
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.
