I Decline the Ex-Boyfriend of the Regretful Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 163
Hearing my call, Serdis closed his book. He slowly lifted his gaze. His trembling eyes met mine.
“Anette….”
He called out to me with difficulty. Then he rose to his feet and knelt down right there.
“I know I don’t deserve forgiveness. But… even if it’s far, far in the future, will you forgive me?”
For a brief moment I was flustered by his sudden apology, but then Serdis, lowering his head pitifully, finally let tears fall.
“I… I didn’t mean to cry. I’m sorry.”
His hands, braced against his knees, shook helplessly. Seeing him—someone who always tried to appear perfect before me—now broken like this made my heart ache.
Truthfully, I already knew.
‘Serdis was a victim too.’
I knew it had been the High Priest’s scheming, yet I had still been harsh toward him. Because what he’d done to me had been cruel. My own pitiful, wretched state—fleeing in fear—had made me turn a blind eye to his punishment.
‘Meanwhile, the one who truly deserved punishment passed away peacefully….’
Because Serdis had been part of those painful memories, I’d hated him.
“I should apologize too. I knew it wasn’t your fault, Your Highness, yet I still made a mistake.”
“No… it happened because of the sins I committed against Violet. It really was my fault.”
I’d thought so too.

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.

Perhaps because I’m certain he’ll never love me.
Lol girl. You don’t know anything about him. He is obsessive 😂
- Nobodynobodyma Chapter 1 — Paragraph 145
‘When Anette smiles, dimples form on her cheeks… You don’t smile prettily.’
Wow this kind of trash. He is a real fool. I hate him
- Aelthia Chapter 123 — Paragraph 146
‘That way, both Hertian and I will be safe.’
What type of twisted logic is this? ‘It has no enchantment on it, so any magic could be stored within it’, yes but currently it’s empty like any other jewel. Then Annette reasons, ‘if Violet is casting strange magic on Serdis, perhaps this enchantment could offer him some protection’. How is an empty or blank enchantment supposed to offer anything? So the author wants Hertian to be affected as Serdis is by whatever magic is going on when he activates the ring, yet the author couldn’t come up with a better solution than having our typically intellectually/academically intelligent fl have a devastatingly illogical thought process. Or was there an error in translation?

“You’ve only loved her for three years. I’ve loved her for five.”
Now why would they were competing in who had long loved her 😂
She always lost consciousness with him. I wonder why???
I can understand parents won’t send their precious child to bad man but they are noble. Their society are political. They were too for a noble.
