Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 63
Since she had already abandoned the Pendleton name, it didn’t matter, but she had friends who genuinely cared about her.
She took out paper from her trunk. And she began writing letters to her friends. It was a brief message to let them know about her situation without causing too much worry.
She wrote letters to about ten close friends. As she was sealing all the letters, Ian Dalton’s name floated through her mind. But she skipped it, thinking he would naturally find out since she was also sending a letter to Mr. Fairfax.
She went out again and mailed the letters at the post office.
On the way back. The sun was already setting. Shops were starting to close. Laura walked among the crowds pouring out of the train station and the passersby returning home after work.
Countless people passed by her side. Shabby middle-aged men with mustaches and women carrying children. And occasionally carriages passing by her side.
She was now mixed in with the scenery of ordinary people she had only observed from inside luxury carriages until now. It was an unfamiliar and strange sensation. It felt as if she had plunged into a painting she had only ever admired from beyond a frame.
Unfamiliar and lonely. But also a fresh feeling of elation.
By the time she returned to the inn, the dining area was once again bustling with people. She went straight to the dining room. Having skipped lunch, she was in need of a snack. She ate a bland fish dish with a plate of salad, then quietly went up to her room.
The room was already dim. She struck a match to light a candle that was only a finger’s length long. The room brightened a little. She filed away the receipts from the bank, and spent the remaining time organizing her trunk, which had become messy from taking things out.
The sound of people walking in the hallway gradually diminished. Night had fallen.
She sat quietly at the desk. There was one notch left on the candle. She gazed at the candlelight, reflecting on the day. Waking up in an unfamiliar inn room, wandering around London, eating meals with slightly strange tastes.
Most situations had unfolded in a worse direction than expected. The meager salaries of governess positions. Selling jewels for less than a quarter of their original price. Walking the streets of London until her calves ached to save on transportation costs.
It would be a lie to say she hadn’t felt intimidated in an environment so isolated from anyone she knew. There were many moments of fear and tension. Mental disappointment and physical fatigue had worn her out.
But sitting in front of the candle, her mind was in an extremely peaceful state. Why? She had been anxious, disappointed, and tired all day, yet oddly enough, she wasn’t the least bit gloomy.
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.

It’s progressing a bit slowly, but nicely… I hope there won’t be unnecessary distances between them due to misunderstandings.
I think this trip to Bath will be good to Laura. Meeting these women will inspire her to be more confident. I just hope her ex and Mr. Dalton don’t ruin it.
Each chapter leaves me in suspense for the future. Although the readers are given assurance from Laura’s feelings since the carriage kiss, I can’t help but doubt the next steps for this couple! Ian’s feeling are deep and tumultuous like waves against a cliff. I can only hope that when the two finally meet, he will remain level headed.
