My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 25
Coon closed his eyes tightly, as if trying to recall that day.
With the blood-red jewel gone, his once endlessly resolute face had grown distinctly more beautiful.
Her beauty was enough to steal the breath of any onlooker, yet it meant nothing to Chloe.
Her eyes and ears were fixed solely on the other’s lips; her tiny ears had grown so hypersensitive they nearly burned.
Whenever Coon took a breath, only then would she finally inhale.
“…The kingdom persistently sent knights to persuade me to end the war. Even up until the very day before I decided to conclude it.”
She didn’t need to hear the rest. It was surely about how Kalis had become that fortunate knight.
“…I heard Duke Arhen persuaded Your Majesty.”
Her voice was so weak it was impossible to tell whether it was a question or a mutter—Chloe’s murmur, spoken as if she couldn’t believe it.
“Persuasion, you say. As I recall, that foolish knight, overwhelmed by fear, could barely speak—let alone persuade anyone.”
Though he’d met countless knights, this one lingered faintly in his memory—not because he’d been an important messenger meant to convey his own will,
but because, among knights who came to save their homeland, he’d been the weakest and most foolish of all.
“P-please, spare me.”
“You speak as though I’d kill you.”
“P-please, spare me. Couldn’t you… end the war?”
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
Someone sure is still smarting from the previous day’s smackdown!
That’s an interesting turn of phrase. Quite neat; I like it.
Doesn’t one slice the meat beforehand? It’s weird to only start slicing when it’s already on the bread.
