Ha Hyun looked at his own quarters with a blurred gaze.
Wiping his sword with a calm face, he seemed no different from usual at first glance. However, he could tell that the man was strangely moody.
That was all.
‘What’s the problem this time?’
He needed to find out what was pressing down on him in order to comfort or appease him.
The man was often in a mood like this, brooding alone. Knowing that he was a thoughtful person, Ha Hyun understood that he would exhaust himself worrying about his own problems.
Still, there was never any change in his demeanor, and since he was originally a calm person, there were few who could discern that he was in ‘that’ kind of state.
Ha Hyun was one of those few.
The problem was… he could only recognize it but couldn’t identify the cause.
Moreover, to others, he didn’t look significantly different from usual, so paying attention to it actually seemed strange.
That in itself was another problem.
He couldn’t ask what was wrong for fear of making him more upset, nor could he ask why he had been upset once he was okay again. It was a conundrum in many ways.
After staring for a long time, the man finally seemed to feel his gaze and turned his head to ask.
“Why? Do you have something to say?”
“…No.”
“I see.”
He narrows his eyes for a moment but doesn’t ask again.
That alone makes Ha Hyun realize that the man is indeed in a bad mood.
Ha Hyun swallowed a sigh inwardly. Despite knowing it would be meaningless, he slowly began to recall recent events. He sifted through incidents that had happened in the near past, trying to figure out what might have made the man so emotionally complicated.
But, as always, there had been no dangerous or complicated incidents these days.
‘He doesn’t even go outside the mountain gate in the first place.’
It wasn’t that he was being restricted; Ha Hyun had never seen him leave the mountain gate. Therefore, the only incidents that came to mind were trivial.
‘Was it because the wooden sword he was using a few days ago broke into four pieces?’
The superstition stemmed from the similarity in pronunciation between the word and number ‘four,’ which symbolizes death. Thinking about this, Ha Hyun suddenly found himself ridiculous.
It had been only a few years since he had to receive training to be used as a tool. After being virtually neglected for over a decade after taking his first steps, he had no choice but to follow that path once he was belatedly discovered.
Although he didn’t like the path, he couldn’t deny that it suited his aptitude.
That’s probably why he hated it even more.
However, ever since he ran away to the volcano, he felt a newfound sense of arrogance as even what could be called worries looked like this now.
He let out a silent, hollow laugh and slumped his shoulders.
The cause of Ha Hyun’s so-called worries, Baek Yeo Heun, was definitely a strange person.
It’s not the usual “crazy” that one might occasionally hear about.
Rather…
“It would be difficult to find someone similar to that person anywhere.”
That’s the impression she gave. It had been like that since he first met her two years ago.
Ha Hyun recalled the past.
He remembers quite vividly the first time he met Baek Yeo Heun at the volcano. He didn’t know what she thought, but for him, it was impressive in various ways.
When he saw Baek Yeo Heun, who was left alone in the training yard.
In hindsight, he had faintly thought the atmosphere was strange from afar.
“As if seeing something that doesn’t easily blend in with the surroundings… A strange discomfort.”
Baek Yeo Heun was only about 13 years old back then. Of course, he was fifteen himself, but compared to Ha Hyun, who had grown up faster than others from a young age, Baek Yeo Heun was not that big at that time.
Looking at a kid almost a head and a half shorter than himself, it wasn’t something he should have thought, but he had no intentions of taking back that impression.
It’s like seeing a small, angular box among round beads.
Then it would stand out, but if left alone, it feels faint and like it would disperse quickly.
“It’s not like that anymore.”
Ha Hyun looked over again.
A focused profile, sharpening a sword, caught his eye. The atmosphere wasn’t as uncomfortable as the first time he saw her, but when she kept her mouth shut, the aura remained the same.
Ha Hyun thought that perhaps the reason he no longer felt discomfort around her was that he had become accustomed to Baek Yeo Heun.
In any case, she had been an extraordinary person from the beginning.
He revisited his memories.
When they first met, Ha Hyun quickly retreated as soon as he confirmed that the reaction was not favorable after striking up a conversation. Either cold in nature or…
“Hostile towards me.”
He had thought it was one of the two. He had seen it as a strong possibility.
However, days later, he realized it was neither of the two he had been so sure about.
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.
