For a moment, I doubted my hearing.

“You’re looking for a marriage partner?”

“Yes.”

My dumbstruck mind began to whirl.

“I have to get married due to unavoidable circumstances, but it feels like I’m committing a sin because it’s a marriage out of necessity, so it’s not easy to find a partner.”

This man. He’s in the same situation as me, isn’t he?

“Your Highness, you don’t have to take it so seriously. A suitable partner will appear soon.”

He gave a faint smile and turned his head to face me.

My mind cleared as if the fog had lifted.

How can I meet this man in such a situation? Could this be the last opportunity God has given me?

It felt as if someone was whispering in my ear.

Not to let go of this man.

I moistened my lips once and asked.

“You’re nobility, right?”

Members of the aristocracy who lacked the ability to become knights often applied to the guards. The aristocracy were primarily administrators or above. Judging from his appearance, he didn’t seem to be a mere guard. At least a junior baron or higher.

“Correct.”

I knew it.

If he wasn’t a commoner, there was nothing to be hesitant about.

“I will be that partner.”

“…..Pardon?”

His mouth slightly opened.

“I will become your wife. If there are any conditions you need, please tell me. I’m confident in anything.”

“Do you understand what you’re saying?”

I straightened my waist and brushed back the hair that had fallen.

“Whether you know or not, I will be your wife until you need.”

The man at the end of Anette’s gaze, Hertian, barely held back his laughter as he stared at her with wide eyes.

I will become your wife.

It was a phrase he heard from her not even an hour after meeting. In fact, it was a phrase he had elicited. Since he knew what Anette wanted.

Hertian acted so that Anette wouldn’t doubt him.

“Suddenly becoming my wife…… it’s surprising.”

“There’s no need to be surprised. I actually needed a husband too.”

“But…….”

In truth, he wanted to embrace the woman proposing to him and indulge in the scent buried in her hair, but he held back.

He knew all too well that she was a person who fiercely repelled if he carelessly crossed the line she had drawn.

So, he decided to satisfy his desire in another way.

“No, I can’t burden you. I will solve my problems myself.”

He furrowed his eyebrows as if troubled.

To make Anette truly want not just marriage, but marriage with him.

“No…… why bother looking elsewhere? I’ll do it.”

“I can’t put the burden on someone I met for the first time today.”

“I’m okay with it.”

“But even if you’re okay, it’s a forced marriage. I’m not the type to live in debt, so I can’t.”

Hertian flatly rejected her.

Eventually, Anette couldn’t stand it and let out a shrill scream.

“It’s not a debt! I was also desperately looking for a husband. I wasted so much time today…… No, anyway, I need you too.”

Her candidness and audacity was palpable even in the letters, but it felt different facing it directly.

“So, please marry me. You.”

Eventually, he heard the words he wanted.

Inside, Hertian formed a satisfying smile.

‘Even though all the plans I made were in vain.’

His plan to propose to her after this war had miserably failed. Precisely, it had succeeded in an absurd way.

“Just a moment.”

On top of that, Anette, fearing rejection, hastily grabbed a red chip from the dealer’s can and put it into his hand.

“What’s this?”

“I’m officially proposing to you. I don’t have a wedding ring right now, so that’s the proof of our marriage.”

Hertian stared blankly at the chip laid in his palm. Eventually, a small smile crept onto his face. Anette thought he was joking and quickly added.

“It’s not a joke? I’m proposing more sincerely than anyone else. So now, there’s no backing out…… no escape.”
She had the audacity to propose with a chip. But her body was shaking, unable to find its balance.

It was because she had been in a thin dress for a long time in the cold air. The smile disappeared from Hertian’s face as he noticed the signs.

“Are you okay?”

“……Answer first. Are you going to marry me?”

Anette clung desperately to her soontobesevered sanity and asked insistently.

“Quickly. Even though I look like this, I have a lot of money at home……and it’s not a messedup family…… I don’t mind if you treat me like an invisible person.”

Her eyes halfclosed.

“Your Highness…….”

“Answer.”

Hertian reluctantly nodded his head slightly.

“I understand.”

“You must keep your promise.”

“There will be no change in your Highness.”

“……Of course.”

With that response, Anette’s frail body collapsed.

“Your Highness!”

Hertian quickly grabbed Anette’s waist, but she had already lost consciousness. Was it because she was looking for a marriage partner? Her eyes closed, she looked more comfortable than ever. She didn’t even know that her correspondent for 3 years was Cassian.

The room where Anette fell asleep due to fatigue.

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.
