Most people think that the ending of such a common story would be a happy ending.
Anyway, since the princess had her thoughts, she wouldn’t have proposed a contract marriage by choosing a ‘suitable partner.’
Until the early days of the marriage, the princess believed that her married life would be successful.
The relationship with her husband wasn’t bad, and her husband’s stepmother, the only family member in the husband’s family, also liked the princess.
At least until the early days of the marriage.
“It seems like I misjudged you. I thought you would treat Louis well and make him suitable for me. Instead, every time you praise my husband…”
“Mistress, it’s not like that. I…”
“Noisy! You can’t even bear a child, and you can’t even manage a single household duty. What use do you have in this house?”
Even after marriage, her husband’s stepmother had always despised her grandson, who continued his extravagant lifestyle, and her anger was all directed at the princess.
Unable to properly manage her husband and unwilling to produce an heir, the princess began to face constant criticism, being told that she was only good for cooking.
The princess, having grown fond of her new family, initially made continuous efforts to please her stepmother.
“Louie, are you coming to the family dinner tomorrow? I already told the mistress that you’re coming. You must come.”
“When will you have a child? The mistress seems to be quite concerned about the succession issue.”
However, neither her husband nor the stepmother changed.
The stepmother continued to criticize and harass both the princess and her grandson, and the more she did, the more the husband distanced himself.
He would only get angry, claiming that the princess was trying to ‘confine him’ whenever she called him home.
“I don’t want to see your pathetic face! I can’t even eat when I have to look at your face. From now on, you’re not needed, so don’t show your face.”
One day, while enduring the usual scolding from her stepmother at the dining table and forcefully swallowing the food pushed into her mouth.
The princess realized that something was wrong.
This wasn’t the life she wanted, leaving the imperial palace and living like this.
But what exactly was wrong?
Her husband wasn’t a bad person. He was busy with his business, but he would apologize for his absence by buying the princess gifts.
Her stepmother wasn’t a bad person either. She just found the useless princess unpleasant.
‘Then maybe it’s me who is wrong?’
The princess questioned, but there was no one to answer.
In this way, she withered away in the emptiness where echoes of her questions lingered.
The thought of living thin and long like roadside grass had long since disappeared.
The princess was losing places to lean on little by little.
Her stepbrother, who had been of some help, was found dead one day, and a close friend had left far away due to an unavoidable marriage.
However, that didn’t mean there was no one extending a helping hand.
“If you need help, you can ask me. …Your older brother asked you to rely on me.”
There was a man who spoke somewhat swaggeringly, staring at her with eyes that couldn’t bear her.
He said he would help the princess, make her happy.
However, the princess was already exhausted to hold his hand.
The idea of taking a liking to someone new, the fact that her misfortune might trip someone else up, she couldn’t bear it.
The result of seeking help from someone else to escape reality was this.
“Will the next one be any different?”
If she had been a bit more mentally stable, the princess would have somehow come up with a reasonable answer.
She was intelligent and possessed notable abilities, enough to be considered outstanding.
However, once a person falls into pessimism, no one can rescue them.
In a situation pushed to the edge, with the death of her close ones, the princess’s mind was already shattered.
Unhappiness had relentlessly consumed her.
Sometimes, even though she thought about abandoning everything and leaving, the imperial family wouldn’t accept the divorce of the princess, who had no backing.
Truly, a completely failed contractual marriage.
The princess slowly and surely deteriorated, and eventually, one day, she jumped off the balcony.
It was a death that wasn’t particularly impressive, not remembered by many.
Except for one person.
The one who had silently loved her for a long time.
“Your Highness, are you here again?”
Instead of turning around, Valtter stabbed the sword into what was under his foot.
Squelch.
A pool stained with blood splattered red liquid, and the sound of flesh being cut echoed sharply in his ears.
To Valtter, it was a sound that held no more surprises.
And to Russell, the one who called him.
Russell licked his lips, looking around Valtter.
The place, which originally seemed to be a small outpost prepared for an ambush, was already in a state of complete desolation with no signs of life.
The scattered corpses around only indicated that someone had lived here, but that was it.
In other words, there were only those who had already lost their lives, yet Valtter was inserting his knife into the heart of each corpse as if confirming that each one had perished.
Thanks to this, the once snow-covered forest had been red for a long time.
It was cruel, and also a persistent cruelty.
Russell sighed and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, offering it to Valtter.
“Haven’t you said there won’t be any battles for a while? They are still human, and it’s not good to oppress them too cruelly.”
“I’ve heard enough lectures.”
“Isn’t it because your body is injured, Your Excellency?”
As if irritated, Russell sighed from his chest.
Since the death of the Fourth Princess, his master, Valtter, had completely changed as a person.
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.
