I Will Live for Your Death (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 88
The once-cold bathroom was now filled with warm steam. Lynette, who had been asking about the bathwater’s temperature and which scents to add, quietly revealed her true thoughts.
“I’m honestly torn.”
“It’s about taking Lady Alice on as a maid.”
Ilyd lowered herself into the bathtub, filled with scented oils and flower petals. Recently, she had been bathing in hot water more often. Though the maids had all insisted on it, at some point she had grown accustomed to the comforting warmth wrapping around her body.
Lynette, who had been preparing towels beforehand, placed a small stool near the tub and sat down. She had already sent away all the other maids, determined to personally attend to Ilyd’s bath.
“I can guess why Her Imperial Majesty the Empress wishes to bring Lady Alice in.”
“It’s symbolic—‘I’ve taken someone from your family as my own.’”
It was practically a declaration of war against the Diobe family, who cooperated closely with the Emperor. Would it look like a hostage situation? Others might recoil in disgust, thinking she was threatening them through their family.
“She’s tied to the Empress Consort by blood. Wouldn’t her heart naturally lean toward her father and younger siblings? What if the Diobe family orders Alice to spy on the Empress’s quarters…?”
“No, quite the opposite.”
Ilyd dismissed Lynette’s concern.
From what she’d learned about Alice, the girl had graduated with excellent marks from an all-girls’ academy. With such credentials, most noble families would have already arranged marriage talks for her.
Yet Alice chose not to marry. She missed her debut in high society, and the Diobe family gradually squandered their fortune, sliding into decline.
She was the eldest daughter who broke the age-old noble belief that one must never work, taking on any job she could find to support her entire family.
Given that, now that the family had regained its footing, they should automatically burst into gratitude whenever they saw Alice’s face. They should have felt so indebted and thankful that giving her only the finest would still seem insufficient.
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.
