I Accidentally Imprinted On The Wolf Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 11
He likes men? Is this really the best I can do?
But the words were already out. Now I had no choice but to push forward with this.
From cross-dressing to now even pretending to be a man who fancies other men.
Life is hard.
“What?”
The Duke blinked at Chloe, as if he’d just heard something unbelievable.
“To be honest, I’ve never been interested in women. Truthfully, I like men. That’s why I wanted to leave this mansion.”
“What… what do you like?”
“I’ve actually admired you, Your Grace, for a long time. You’ve never had a woman by your side, nor did it ever seem likely—and you even granted me, someone so inexperienced, the position of your personal attendant.”
The lies flowed effortlessly from her mouth.
Just as the Duke had fitted every circumstance neatly into his own misunderstanding and delusion, she too skillfully slotted each detail into her web of falsehoods.
Strangely enough, everything fit together perfectly.
Although, as she kept talking, she desperately wanted to slap her own mouth shut.
“What? What…?”
The Duke stammered like a broken machine.
“Rumors have even circulated that you, Your Grace, favored men. Didn’t you place my room right next to your study? And every time I took leave, you gave me extra money for expenses—wasn’t it only natural for me to believe you thought of me as someone special?”
As she spoke, she became so immersed in her act that her words came out brimming with soulful conviction, as if she truly believed every word herself. The pieces clicked together so seamlessly there was nothing left to question.
“What? Are you spouting nonsense now…?”
In the end, the Duke’s face turned deathly pale.
Her performance had gone so far that she worried it might be excessive.
“If that’s not the case, I sincerely apologize. It was all my fault for letting my feelings run away with me.”
“Ha!”
The Duke looked utterly speechless.
“Yes, that’s right. I heard you slept with a woman, so clearly you’re not like me—you don’t prefer men. Especially since you’re now searching for her. That’s why I decided to give up my admiration and leave this mansion. I wanted to leave before you brought her back. I simply couldn’t bear to stay and watch that happen…”
“Nonsense! Lies! How shameless!”
The Duke’s face flushed crimson as he shouted. His usual composed demeanor had vanished completely, and seeing him so flustered made him seem almost childlike.
“I really have no idea about that golden hair. Could Your Grace perhaps be mistaken? Or maybe someone secretly entered my room without my knowledge?”
“Do you honestly think that makes sense?”
There was no logical way to explain the hair. When logic failed, she had to press on irrationally without giving him time to think.
“Recently, haven’t you been constantly telling me to come closer one moment and stay away the next? Do you have any idea how torturous that was for me? One moment filled with hope, the next plunged into despair. You couldn’t possibly understand that pain.”
Chloe felt as if she’d just discovered an unexpected talent for acting. Her mouth moved on its own, bypassing even the most basic restraint from her brain.
“You even claimed the woman you slept with smelled just like me—said I resembled my mother and asked if she was beautiful! Why on earth would you say such things?”
“…”
The Duke opened his mouth as if to say something, but closed it again without a word.
“Yes. That’s right. I… I… love you, Your Grace.”
She’d finally thrown out that word. Love.
But even for a mouth this reckless, uttering that word wasn’t easy.
To make my first confession of love like this…
Sigh… Life.
What made her want to cry right now was that, despite it all being a lie, her face had flushed as if she’d genuinely confessed her love.
She could feel the heat spreading across her cheeks even without looking in a mirror. Of course, this blush came not from excitement but sheer embarrassment.
Still, the Duke would probably think it was from excitement, wouldn’t he?
“Those absurd words…”
The Duke looked utterly dazed.
His expression was perfectly understandable.
He disliked women, after all—how could he not be horrified that a man, no less his own attendant, claimed to love him?
“That’s why I wanted to leave. To let go of these feelings. I truly didn’t want to go, but I couldn’t possibly burden you any further, not when I… love you so much.”
It was strange.
Her sense of self seemed to be crumbling, yet even as it vanished, her mouth kept chattering away flawlessly.
Yes, this is who I am. So please, be horrified and throw me out.
“I’m sorry for serving you with impure intentions. But I only ever… felt that way in my heart. Not even once did I…”
“Please step back a few paces. You’re too close.”
Overwhelmed by psychological discomfort and revulsion, the Duke waved his hand dismissively.
That was a good reaction.
“I apologize for making you uncomfortable. So someone like me should just…”
As Chloe stepped backward, she kept speaking,
“…Leave.”
The Duke cut her off before she could finish, saying exactly what she’d hoped to hear.
Success!
“Leave at once.”
“Yes, right away.”
Chloe quickly bowed, afraid the Duke might change his mind.
“Farewell, Your Grace.”
She turned immediately after her parting words.
Just then, a breeze blew in through the window—as if even the wind was bidding her goodbye.
Thanks to her intense performance, which had left her palms sweaty, the breeze felt refreshingly cool.
“…Wait!”
A dark cloud suddenly rolled over her refreshed mood.
Why again!
“You!”
“Yes?”
“What do you mean, ‘farewell’?”
“Huh?”
“I told you to leave this room—not the mansion.”
“Huh?”
“You’re not stepping a single foot outside this house until I find that woman.”
What did that even mean? Weren’t you just looking utterly revolted?
It sounded exactly like “Get the hell out of my house right now!”
“But I love you, Your Grace…”
“Shut up! Stop spouting those ridiculous lies and go back to your room! You won’t be allowed to leave on your own until you properly explain that golden hair. Bringing a woman into the house violates your employment terms, and you must take responsibility for that.”
“…!”
This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. Why the sudden change of heart? I even went so far as to pretend to be a man who fancies men!
How could anyone act like this?
A male attendant who’s been living right next door, coming and going day and night, confesses his love—and you, who hates closeness from both women and men, should be utterly repulsed and kick him out!
Why do you just assume it’s a lie? What if I really did love you!
“Get out of my room right now. When I call, you come running.”
The Duke firmly nailed down that she wasn’t to run away.
Don’t come near me, but don’t leave either. What kind of nonsense is this?
Why is he acting like this!
Chloe wanted to tear her hair out in frustration, unable to follow the Duke’s intentions.
It couldn’t possibly be the wig.
[This is the timeline separator]Klein Reeden left the room, his face deathly pale—utterly white.
Was that brat’s face always that pale? So white, small, and… cute?
What?
I’m insane.
Absolutely insane, Hughgray Ulphaz! You’ve gone completely mad.
Cute? That attendant who just confessed his love to me—cute? This isn’t imprinting; it’s a mental illness.
Shocked by his strange claims of liking men and loving the Duke, I nearly let the very person I’d just brought in slip away again.
Thankfully, a sudden gust of wind carried that attendant’s strong scent right into my senses, snapping me back to reality.
I must find my imprinted partner, and that brat is clearly connected to that woman.
That’s precisely why I absolutely cannot let him go—I must find the woman I imprinted on.
Yes, that’s the only reason.
To find that woman.
There’s no other reason. Of course there isn’t!
His claims of liking men or loving me are nothing but blatant lies—desperate fabrications to hide his connection with that woman.
Infuriating brat.
Daring to lie about loving me while reeking so strongly of that woman’s scent?
Loving me? Ridiculous. A man liking another man? What nonsense.
And yet… of course, there are men like that in this world. Could it be… that he truly does love me?
No! What am I even thinking, Hughgray Ulphaz!
What does it matter? Why should his sexual preferences be so important to me?
Hughgray kept spinning the same thoughts over and over again, endlessly.
Klein Reeden was only being kept because of his connection to the imprinted woman, and his confession of love was certainly a lie.
Even if it weren’t a lie, all he needed to do was find the woman clearly connected to that attendant.
He repeated this to himself like self-hypnosis, over and over.
[This is the timeline separator]Two hours after Chloe returned to her old room—the one right next to the Duke’s study—the Duke pulled the bell cord.
Out of habit, Chloe hurried to his room.
The Duke calmly instructed her to prepare tea, as if nothing had happened and completely ignoring her earlier attempt to quit as his attendant.
Now that she thought about it, it was indeed teatime in the afternoon.
Did those words earlier just mean he wanted her to resume her duties as an attendant?
“Um, Your Grace… does this mean I’ll continue serving as your attendant until you find that woman?”
Chloe asked cautiously. If she couldn’t run away and was stuck here anyway, this absolutely needed clarification—after all, she deserved her wages for each day worked.
Tap tap tap.
The Duke stared straight at Chloe’s face and tapped his index finger on the desk.
“You really think I’ll find her that quickly?”
“Huh?”
“I’m talking about finding my woman. Why not just explain the hair already? You said you needed to go home.”
“I truly don’t know anything about it.”
Tap tap tap.
The Duke tapped the desk again.
“Then either keep serving as my attendant—or if you dislike that, tell me what you know about that woman.”
Clearly, he didn’t believe her claim of loving men—let alone loving the Duke himself. He still thought she was secretly meeting the woman he’d slept with, which must be why he wanted her to continue as his attendant.
“I truly know nothing about any woman or that hair.”
“Are you really not seeing anyone? Look me straight in the eyes and tell me.”
“I’m not. As I said earlier, I….”
Chloe answered, staring directly into the Duke’s eyes. Since she truly had no secret lover, she had nothing to fear in meeting his gaze.
“Just bring the tea.”
He had seemed ready to press her further, but unexpectedly, the Duke looked away first.
When did his ears turn so red?
The Duke’s bright red ears stood out vividly as he turned his face aside.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
***
Synopsis:
Before transmigrating, Shen Yaoxing only wanted to find a reliable man to spend her life with. Who knew that after transmigrating, she would become a reliable woman herself…
A forced misandrist, highly skilled, and reliable female lead
vs.
An initially aloof and arrogant, later morbid, obsessed male lead

Reallllllyyy hoping Carcus isn’t the 2nd male lead!
At this point, the Duke is willfully not realizing his “male” servant is a woman. He figured out that Carcus is probably the missing prince just based off of the name but can’t figure out his male servant is actually a female?
If the mom didn’t like Carcus at first, I wonder if he might be evil or something?
Also, will the Duke feel bad making her do all this servant stuff once he finds out who she is?

I hope this guys isn’t a 2nd male lead. I don’t like feeling bad for a childhood friend when we all know who the end game is.

And the misunderstandings abound! How long will it take for the Duke to realize she is the one he is looking for?
