“You know, Edna. Do you remember what you said to Adel before?”
“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Adel spent time with Stebain Youngsik, with whom you have a secret engagement. He used to boast about it in front of you. When I expressed concern about Adel spending time alone with Stebain Youngsik, what did you say at that time?”
Yurisien spoke in her characteristic quiet and calm voice. Edna blinked, suddenly not understanding why Yurisien was saying such things. Yurisien responded with a face devoid of laughter.
“It was amusing.”
“…!”
Edna’s eyes widened for a moment.
“Amusing? Are you saying it’s amusing that your friend becomes close to a man involved in your engagement?”
“No, I think… Adel didn’t fully understand the situation.”
“Oh, so she dares to covet Stebain Youngsik… Is that what you mean?”
The nobles murmured. This was not good.
“If this continues, it will be revealed that I have been ridiculing and deceiving Adel all along.”
Then, the kind and compassionate image that Edna had built up in high society by carrying Adel around and acting like a gentle aristocrat would completely disappear.
Edna let out an awkward laugh.
“What, what… are you saying, Yuris? You’re too expressionless, so I can’t tell if you’re serious or joking. Did I do the same thing last time? That you’re unpopular with men because of that.”
Haha, Edna laughed and said, looking around at the nobles.
“This is Yuris for you. She’s so great in the world, maybe because she’s a great lady or something. She’s a little clueless, thinks everyone likes her, and because of that, sometimes she misunderstands things…”
“So, are you saying that I misunderstood everything I heard directly from you, Edna?”
Before Edna could plainly present evidence that she had made such statements, Yurisien took the lead.
“Then explain, Edna. So that everyone can understand. Why did you speak positively about the engagement with Stebain Youngsik at that time, only to hide it from Adel?”
“What?”
“Why did you stimulate Adel by saying that you and Stebain Youngsik were positively considering engagement, when all you did was give him a room as part of the family’s invitation and spend the night together?”
“Y-Yuri! What are you saying to me like this?”
“Just curious, Edna.”
Yurisien took a step closer to Edna.
“Why did you, who ridiculed Adel like that, want to do the same things as Adel?”
Edna’s face turned bright red. That statement was not merely about spending the night with Benjamin yesterday, it meant something else entirely. Without knowing that, I became a wicked woman trying to cover Benjamin in front of people!
“You deceived me!”
With that shout, Edna suddenly closed her mouth. It was an admission.
“Oh my…”
“In the world…”
At the same time, the faces of the nobles turned red and pale respectively. Adel was common, so it was understandable, but Edna was none other than the illegitimate daughter of Count Calypso.
“Deceiving a friend’s man…”
“Deceiving a friend and having an engagement with Youngsik…”
The nobles murmured. Edna felt the sharp gazes, trembling while holding the edge of her skirt.
One thing Edna overlooked was that Yurisien was, in one way or another, a great lady. Yurisien knew how to bend people to her will in high society, how to take control of a conversation, and how to maintain it.
“Darn it, Yuris!”
Edna realized that the reason Yurisien had been quiet until now was because she didn’t feel the need to intervene.
Yurisien was a tiger ruling the region. Even when staying still, her subordinates brought her prey, so she never hunted herself, always being a well-fed and leisurely predator. However, once that tiger moved… the surroundings turned into chaos.
Just like Kendall, who had held control over Windsor for a whopping 3 years, disappeared in an instant.
“Yeah, I should have found that strange from the beginning.”
How poisonous must the beast, which had been silent, have become? Edna felt terrified.
She hadn’t realized that the beast could turn its venom towards her. She had been enduring others’ attention towards Benjamin, waiting for the right moment to use him as an example.
Yurisien tilted her head slightly. Her cool gaze became even more intense. The crimson pupils seemed to pierce through, leaving no room for any gaps. She spoke as if tightening her grip on Edna’s throat.
“Could it be that I misunderstood everything?”
Enough, stop it now. If you touch my affairs any further, you should be prepared for the consequences.
In that moment, all the nobles who witnessed this scene couldn’t help but think unknowingly.
‘Maybe it’s the prince’s affair…’
‘And the fact that the person involved is none other than Raphenein…’
‘Kendall’s daughter, who fled from Windsor and hid in the imperial city, has been exposed…’
All of it might have been dice rolled in Yurisien’s hands.
It was the moment when Yurisien Agathe Windsor, the great lady of Windsor, splendidly returned to high society.
A while later.
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.
