“Indeed… you’ve deceived me for the past 15 years, pretending to be my savior.”
The second day of the banquet, the Crown Prince attended for the newcomers, but no other royal family members were to be seen.
Neither Hiscliff nor Gretta, who were the hot topics, sent word of their absence. Many people clucked their tongues, considering it foolish.
“So it’s as if I’ve admitted it, isn’t it?”
“Who’s to say otherwise. Showing one’s face would at least prevent further talk.”
Those who had sided with Hiscliff in the afternoon now cursed the Queen. Yurisien shuddered at their two-facedness.
“Focus on me, will you.”
A low voice that tingled at the nape of her neck came from ahead. It was Benjamin.
“Ah, ah… I’m sorry.”
“You’re terribly lacking in manners toward your partner.”
Not-so-annoyingly grumbling, Yurisien chuckled.
“I get it. I’ll focus.”
Currently, Yurisien was dancing with Benjamin. They were dancing to the first tune they couldn’t dance to yesterday.
When Benjamin initially asked her to dance, Yurisien was reluctant.
[Why step out when we’re already the center of attention like a monkey in a zoo?]
But Benjamin had insisted.
[Either way, people will talk. Might as well make it work for us.]
The well-known tale was that Yurisien and Hiscliff fell in love when he saved her from a near-death experience as a child.
If all that was a lie and Hiscliff was intentionally deceiving everyone, public opinion would naturally tip in Yurisien’s favor. Benjamin was the one who had revealed this to her.
[How about we push this and legitimize our marriage?]
The Crown Prince, who proposed to save her from the clutches of being deceived by Hiscliff for 15 years and almost marrying an undeserving old man.
Thanks to him, the legitimate heir had completely won over Windsor, who had been maintaining neutrality. Moreover, the fact that Benjamin had enough intelligence to know something that no one else did meant he was not simply a frivolous person.
So, Yurisien had no choice but to take Benjamin’s hand and was led into the middle of the Hydrengia Hall.
“So, what will you do going forward?”
“What, get married?”
“No, your attitude towards me.”
Although she understood the urgency, every time Benjamin opened his mouth, it was about marriage, and Yurisien dismissed him. Benjamin felt a little wronged, but he didn’t show it.
Yurisien said,
“Will it be unpleasant for me to see the polite Crown Prince, um, Benjamin Ludwig Offenheid?”
“Hmm, is that your preference?”
“Compared to someone who loiters outside the terrace early in the morning, leaps up three floors, and ridicules me for smeared makeup when I’ve already seen his bare face in the cabin?”
The reason Yurisien who was lying on the mat suddenly became shy was that she was reminded of her first encounter with him. Benjamin found Yurisien, who spoke sarcastically, cute and let out a laugh.
Leaning his upper body slightly toward Yurisien, he whispered softly.
“I’ll swing it for you soon.”
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.
