With her beautiful face, Elzer had killed her and with that bright expression, she had pushed her sister into a corner…
‘I must bring hell to you and them. Only then can I feel less wronged.’
Fiddling with the necklace around her neck, Sesenia tried to calm herself and hastened her steps.
“Let’s hurry to father. He hates being kept waiting.”
“Even if we’re late, just act cute to father. Then all men will like you.”
Elzer always said this. Even if she did something wrong, acting cute would make all men like her. There’s no man who wouldn’t fall for this.
‘Elzer must have seduced the Emperor this way too.’
“Really?”
“Sesenia. You’re too lacking in charm. Why make life so difficult? Just act like this, and everyone will follow your wishes.”
“Sister.”
“Yes?”
“I really hate solving everything with such superficiality. I hate that you think everyone moves according to your wishes.”
In a moment, Sesenia’s suppressed instincts burst out.
‘I know this person is not the one who betrayed me in the future. Maybe this is just my resentment for what I’ve experienced. But my heart keeps twisting.’
Feeling regretful about her outburst, Sesenia tried to change her tune, but Elzer scoffed disdainfully.
“Sorry, my words just…”
“That’s why you’re unpopular.”
“What?”
“Living like this, no one will want to marry you. Even though you’re my sister, you live such a joyless life. Be careful. Even though the crown prince is maintaining the engagement with our family now… he might get tired of your attitude and break it off.”
Sesenia then realized her sister was blatantly belittling her. Not just the woman who betrayed her in the future, but Elzer had always looked down on her since they were very young.
Elzer’s actions made her doubt if this was the same sister who would later betray her.
‘It must be her true nature. Really… you’re just making it easy for me to take my revenge, sister.’
The corners of Sesenia’s mouth twisted slightly, a chillingly cold expression on her face.
“I think my life is quite interesting.”
“What?”
“My life. I find it quite interesting.”
Unaccustomed to Sesenia talking back, Elzer’s face hardened.
“Sesenia. You’re unusually unyielding today. Almost like a different person.”
“That can’t be. I’m just speaking my mind. Now, let’s quickly go to father.”
Annoyed by Sesenia not following her lead, Elzer released Sesenia’s arm and headed towards their father’s room.
In Sesenia’s memory, her sister was a kind and good person, always doing everything for Sesenia. But now she realized how misguided her memory was.
How could she ever have considered such a person good? Or had Elzer changed from the past to the present?
Sesenia watched Elzer walk ahead for a long time.
“Are you not going, miss?”
Urging Sesenia was Lizbeth, standing a step behind with a worried expression.
“Yes… I should go.”
“Don’t worry too much about Miss Elzer’s words. She’s always been someone who needs things to go her way to be satisfied.”
“Is that so?”
Sesenia’s gaze naturally shifted to Lizbeth.
“When things go her way, she’s like an angel, but if they don’t, she speaks thoughtlessly. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Yes.”
Finally, Sesenia remembered. After hearing Lizbeth’s words, she realized why her memory of Elzer was so fondly preserved. Sesenia had always been a good sister who listened to Elzer too well, rarely ever conflicting with her.
Elzer was especially cherished by Sesenia. After their mother passed away when they were young, Elzer was like a mother, sister, friend, and the most trusted person to Sesenia.
‘But in reality, it wasn’t so.’
It was somewhat amusing. Looking back, Elzer did cause a few scenes with the servants over trivial things, like her dress not being ready or the lack of a car she wanted.
Suddenly, a memory resurfaced.
‘Sister. You were never really a good person, were you? An angel, indeed.’
If Elzer’s true nature had been genuinely angelic, if her public image was her truth, she wouldn’t have killed her sister to achieve her goals.
Finding the situation more amusing than expected, Sesenia resumed her walk.
‘Well, I’m about to become devilish too. How fitting. Sisters with twisted personalities.’
“This will be interesting.”
“What?”
Lizbeth, who was beside her, looked at Sesenia with surprised eyes.
“Nothing. Let’s go.”
Sesenia decided to put on a facade.
Suddenly, the 25-year-old version of her, who had seen and experienced the worst of the world, was not the 20-year-old Sesenia. She had to pretend to be an innocent, inexperienced Sesenia.
‘I am… 20 years old.’
“Father, I apologize for being late.”
Elzer, who had entered the Duke’s room first, was snugly beside him, smiling at the late Sesenia.
“You should come earlier. Is it right to make your father wait?”
“Yes, Sesenia. Try to be more like your sister next time.”
“Yes.”
“Anyway, now that we’re gathered today, there’s something I need to discuss. As my only two children, I’ve been pondering over whom to pass the family legacy. Now that Sesenia has come of age…”
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.
