“I’ve brought Mayana.”
“Bring her in.”
The door opened, and for a moment, it seemed like no one would appear. However, Mayana’s figure soon came into view. But the moment Cedloy saw her face, he involuntarily stood up from his chair.
“What’s wrong with your face?”
He raised his voice, then realized the study’s door was still open. He walked over, closed the door, and turned back to her.
“Mayana, show me your face.”
Cedloy’s hand gently grasped Mayana’s cheek. The area below her eyes was dark, her lips were downturned, and whether it was pain or exhaustion, her complexion was deathly pale.
The vibrant Mayana had disappeared somewhere, replaced by someone who looked exactly like her.
“Are you in pain?”
Despite the consecutive questions, Mayana, who had been maintaining silence, opened her eyes slightly.
“You’re asking if I’m in pain right now?”
“Ah, thank goodness.”
Mayana let out a forced laugh, as if amazed.
“What on earth do you mean by ‘thank goodness’?”
“It’s fortunate that you still have the energy to get mad at me.”
This man!
Mayana, exhaling deeply, rubbed her stiff eyelids with the hard part of her palm. Although her vision seemed to clear a bit, it didn’t mean the problem was solved. No, not at all!
“If you have a conscience, My Lord, you shouldn’t ask me if I’m in pain. You know better than anyone else why I had to spend the entire morning in bed today.”
“I…”
Cedloy, momentarily hesitating at Mayana’s unexpectedly sharp tone, coughed.
“…Yeah, sorry. I apologize. I was a bit… harsh.”
“A bit? Did you really just say ‘a bit harsh’? Did I hear that correctly?”
“…Quite a bit.”
Mayana, who glanced at the closed door, lowered her voice as if tightly closing it.
“You tormented me all night long. And you call it ‘quite a bit’? I almost screamed trying to get up in the morning. Do you know that?”
“To be precise, it wasn’t ‘all night’ long.”
“It was right before dawn!”
“I fainted as soon as I touched the towel, but at least I knew the time.”
A wry smile appeared on Cedloy’s lips. Even that was irritatingly unbearable! Though he felt like he might find relief if he punched him in the face, he restrained himself since assaulting the Viscount was out of the question. Moreover, this was not the time for such trivial banter.
Upon hearing Jemero’s statement that he was looking for her, Mayana had only one thought in her mind. How could she pass off last night’s incident as a one-time mistake?
Perhaps she could do that herself. It wouldn’t be easy, but if she tried hard not to see Cedloy for a few days, she might be able to forget. However, Cedloy was the problem.
[I love you.]It couldn’t be. Mayana thought. It was sincere. It couldn’t be.
Why would someone like you love me?
Who knows where you came from, whether you’re a local or a ghost, you, with your ambiguous existence.
“Mayana.”
“My Lord, please listen to me first.”
“Mayana.”
“Please.”
Cedloy’s expression slowly sank. He seemed to already know what Mayana was going to say, even before she spoke. No, he knew for sure.
She was trying to make last night’s incident nonexistent, attributing everything to the interruption of reason due to desire.
She couldn’t do that. Still, Cedloy decided to silently listen to Mayana’s story.
“Fine, you speak first.”
Mayana’s fingertip, clenched in front of her, trembled slightly. Perhaps more than last night, even more. It was the first time he had seen Mayana so frightened.
“Last night, I truly… made an unimaginable mistake with you, My Lord. So it shouldn’t have happened. Really. If you forgive me, I won’t make such a mistake again, I promise.”
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.
