Long Live the Emperor, Minus Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 118
The next morning. Count Griff, who came to my room, gasped sharply at the sight of my swollen cheeks.
“You should have asked the kitchen for ice.”
Yet what came from her lips was a reproach toward me. I lowered my eyes as if cowed.
“It was late at night.”
Count Griff let out a suppressed sigh and quickly called a maid to bring ice.
“I shall inform them that I’ll take breakfast in my room due to lingering fatigue. The swelling should subside by lunchtime, and makeup will cover it well enough.”
The count’s attitude wasn’t surprising at all.
Taking advantage of the fact that the count knew nothing about His Majesty, I’d spent the past year spreading the lie that His Majesty had a violent disposition.
And the count’s response to that had been, “If Your Highness behaves well enough, His Grace the Grand Duke will have no reason to resort to violence.”
“A true noblewoman never lets household matters show outwardly. That, too, is part of her virtue.”
After confirming the swelling had gone down, Count Griff applied heavy makeup to my face while gently admonishing me.
It was a phrase I’d heard so often it felt like nails hammered into my ears.
Come to think of it, I’d heard those very words in my previous life as well.
Though back then, it hadn’t been called a noblewoman’s virtue—it had been phrased as a virtue expected of someone born into a distinguished family.
No matter how you were treated within the family, you must never let it show outside and tarnish the family name.
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.
