Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 138
“Evan Knox, publisher of ‘Etiquette for Gentlemen and Ladies,’ receives visits of protest from nobles.”
“Evan Knox remains silent under pressure to reveal the author’s identity. Who truly wrote this controversial book?”
“‘Etiquette for Gentlemen and Ladies’ enters reprint amid strong support from the middle class.”
“Is Evan Knox selling his honor for money? Fierce criticism branding him a vulgar slave to capitalism continues, along with efforts to expel him from high society.”
Jacqueline quietly swallowed a breath at the final sentence. The situation was far more serious than she had anticipated. The nobles barked like dogs with stepped-on tails, and every arrow pointed squarely at Evan Knox.
Yet, Evan remained silent to the very end. Even when talk arose of expelling him from society, he never once uttered Jacqueline’s name.
While she attended the royal banquet and enjoyed sweet moments with Windsor, Evan bore the heavy burden alone—just as he had promised her.
Jacqueline slowly moved her throat as if swallowing the surge of emotion rising within her. Her heart sank heavily, as though weighted with lead.
What exactly was this restless feeling? Guilt? Remorse? Or gratitude?
Whatever it was, one thing was certain: her conscience would not let her rest. Though keeping the author’s identity secret had been part of their contract, was it truly right to place all the blame on him alone in this situation?
She felt utterly cowardly for hiding behind Evan’s shadow while living a peaceful, ordinary life. Then, suddenly, she recalled having once felt something very similar.
The trial to appoint Benjamin’s legal guardian.
She couldn’t bear to sadden her beloved mother, yet she couldn’t betray Windsor either. So, she chose to remain neutral and simply watched the situation unfold.
Only later did she realize how cowardly that had been.
This time was no different. If she left all the responsibility to Evan, she would forever be tormented by guilt—unable to forgive herself for her own cowardice.
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.

Yet it was the truth. Evan felt happy simply for having the chance to do somethi
Well, it’s not quite that romantic; he knew the book would be a hit and bring in a lot of money, and he was aware of all the risks.
There was only one reason: Evan's soul belonged to her.
I highkey feel bad for Evan’s future spouse. To have your husband so devoted to another woman 🙁
Suddenly, he felt as if the ground beneath his feet had begun to tremble.
I feel pity for him.😭 He suffered so much too and endured much just to be with her
