I Have A Terminally Ill Duke As My Husband (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 38
Several days later, the incident in which the Crown Prince had attempted to kill the Prince on his wedding day stirred up both the Imperial Family and the capital of the empire.
The capital’s newspapers simultaneously published articles about the Crown Prince’s actions and about Luan returning alive, despite having already held a funeral for him.
The people of the capital were even more astonished by Luan’s return from the dead than by the Crown Prince’s crime, and everyone offered their blessings that he had survived.
***
“I’m innocent! I was tricked by the Duke! Pretending to be dead when he wasn’t even dead—what a coward! I swear I’ll never let this go!!”
Imprisoned by Luan, Damon desperately cried out that he had been deceived by both Luan and Harmon, claiming his innocence—but no one paid him any heed.
As Viseluke had ordered, Cassel and Tablo began a thorough investigation into the incident involving the attempted murder of Prince Harmon.
And this incident became the catalyst that brought down House Grafft—the fortress-like Duke’s household that had seemed so unshakable and invincible until then.
Because a corpse had been discovered in his territory, Caimen had already been ordered to remain confined within his estate. Now it was revealed he had lent knights to Damon for the Prince Harmon incident, making him an accomplice as well.
He protested that he had no idea Damon was plotting such a scheme, but everything turned against him.
Caimen, who had wielded more power and influence than even the Emperor himself, now watched helplessly as everything he had built started crumbling—all because of Damon, whom he had so desperately wished to protect.
Meanwhile, Damon was also exposed as the perpetrator of the entire affair: alongside the ongoing investigation into his plot to frame Harmon for treason, evidence linking him to the crime—including a button and fabric scraps from the corpse found in Caimen’s territory—was uncovered.
Throughout the investigation, Damon continuously protested his innocence, but the Emperor-aligned nobles, who had already lost all trust in him, turned their backs on him completely.
“This absolutely cannot be overlooked.”
“Of course not. It’s outrageous enough that he tried to kill the Prince at his own wedding—but then to abduct innocent women, beat them to death simply because they displeased him? If His Highness the Crown Prince remains in power, how can any citizen of the Empire continue to uphold the Imperial Family? This is a matter of the Empire’s very survival.”
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.
