The flustered merchant glanced at Hyacinth, wondering whether to cover the sculpture again.
“Hmm.”
Hyacinth also seemed to think the title and the sculpture didn’t quite match, raising his eyebrows.
“It’s very lively. I don’t know if it’s the God of Beauty, but it seems that Menelang is indeed a genius. It doesn’t look like a living person.”
“Th, that’s right.”
The merchant stammered in response, signaling his assistant with trembling eyes. What’s this? Where’s the Blight sculpture and why is there this strange one?
The assistant shook his head vigorously, indicating that he knew nothing. His behaviour looked suspicious, but it couldn’t be questioned here.
“But, merchant.”
“Yes, yes, Your Majesty!”
“Even if ‘God of Beauty’ is in the title, why is ‘Smile’ included? This sculpture is not a smiling face.”
“What?”
At Emperor Hyacinth’s question, the merchant feigned calmness and examined the sculpture’s face. As the emperor said, the sculpture’s expression was ambiguous.
If anything, it was a smiling face, but it was closer to a painful expression screaming ‘I’m laughing so much that my jaw is about to fall off’.
“That, that is…”
In the midst of the merchant’s floundering, Hyacinth alone seemed to reach an understanding and nodded.
“I see. The socalled God of Beauty and the smile he wears are ultimately created by people’s illusions, right? In order to wear that smile, the person within suffers so much that their muscles ache. Is that the meaning? Profound.”
It was a ridiculous explanation, but the merchant agreed enthusiastically and clapped like a seal.
“That’s, that’s right! Of course!”
He didn’t know what was happening, but he was grateful that the emperor interpreted it in his favor.
At that moment.
“Hmm?”
Hyacinth suddenly furrowed his brows and leaned forward. Following his gaze, the merchant’s heart dropped.
“Merchant.”
“Yes, yes, Your Majesty!”
The merchant answered hastily, trying hard to hide his desire to weep. Hyacinth pointed to the statue with his finger.
“That statue.”
“Yes.”
“Didn’t it just move?”
“Excuse me?”
The merchant was already on the verge of madness because the statue had changed. Did the statue crack? Was it moving to break? The merchant further panicked, vehemently denying such a possibility.
“No, I’m sure it moved just now.”
But Hyacinth believed in what he had seen and approached the statue, while the merchant dragged his feet behind him, continuously lodging silent protests at his assistant and the laborers who had transported the statue.
In the meantime, Hyacinth, who had approached right in front of the statue, stared at the statue’s arm, which looked like a human’s even though it was completely white, and pressed that part with his finger, mumbling to himself in wonder.
“It’s made so realistically.”
At that, the part he pressed sunk in as if it had flesh.
“!”
Startled, Hyacinth jerked his head up. Why does the statue have flesh…?
At that moment.
“It’s me, Latil.”
The statue muttered. This time, Hyacinth looked up at the statue with a startled face.
‘Latil?’
Of course, Latil, who was disguised as a statue, couldn’t answer.
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.
