Oh No, I Possessed a Male Character! (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 25
Rumi and I must never be seen meeting—it absolutely cannot become known to anyone.
But both Rumi and I were famously beautiful and handsome in this capital, so unless we met in a truly secret place, we were bound to catch someone’s eye.
Her coming to the Imperial Palace or me going to Duke Mecklinger’s residence—both were entirely out of the question.
That left only one solution: conceal our identities.
That was precisely why I now stood before the wardrobe, deep in thought.
“Something suitable for disguise…”
I rummaged thoroughly through the wardrobe in search of appropriate clothing, but this dreary wardrobe contained nothing but men’s clothes—there wasn’t a single usable item.
What choice did I have? If it wasn’t here, I’d simply have to go out and buy it.
I headed straight for the bustling district. The weather was cold, and every passerby had their collars pulled high and scarves wrapped tightly around their necks.
I too pulled my hat low over my face and wound my scarf around until only my eyes showed—killing two birds with one stone: shielding myself from the cold and hiding my face.
Deciding how to disguise myself wasn’t actually that difficult.
Everyone here knew me as a man, so the best way to reveal my true self was the opposite—to meet Rumi as a woman.
“Shall I start by buying clothes?”
But there was one problem: I was too tall for a woman, so I couldn’t wear ready-made dresses from dressmakers’ shops.
The fashionable skirt length here reached down to the tops of the feet—at best, just barely exposing the anklebones.
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
“If he had never learned that Muzel was a woman, he might have mistaken it for deep friendship”
I had this thought, and this semi confirmed it for me: Klaus seems to like Muzel no matter the gender. He maybe bi, but it maybe only for Muzel. Like Shang from Disney’s Mulan
I get that Rumi’s parents are upset about losing their daughter in the main world, but at some point, FL needs to stop babying her and leave her be.
I understand Rumi character completely. Stuck being sick, barely ever going outside, going to die at any moment, it is COMPLETELY reasonable for her to want to stay.
And FL wants to bring her back because…her parents are sad?
When Rumi tries to explain how miserable she is over there, FL basically counters with “Yea, but your parents are sad and your feelings are invalid”
FL needs to just leave Rumi alone. She is an adult and she knows how to get back home for when she’s ready. As far as we know now, if it gets too bad, Rumi can dip! FL can already see the cracks, so she just either need to honestly stop trying to yank her home before she’s done, or just wait for it all to implode in her face.
I will say, I like Rumi. Yes she’s selfish and naive, and it really adds to her character. She wanted to enjoy this experience because she is dying in the other world, and I have no problem with that. She wanted to experience this alone. Muzel/Jin Yi being there wasn’t part of the plan. She didn’t drag Muzel along and the only reason she’s forcing Muzel to help her is because if she were to actually tell Muzel how to get back home, Muzel would drag her back too (which, i still stand by is a horrible friend move. Muzel as Jin Yi is a bad friend. Muzel as Muzel is at least giving suggestions and trying to explain what Rumi did wrong, but once she switches back to Jin Yi thoughts of forcing Rumi home, she’s very-close minded).
Back to Rumi, she is very naive as we can see by her snubbing the OGFL at the party, and the charity suggestions. She doesn’t know or understand the implications of what she did. She only thinks in the now, not in the future and probably because she’s on borrowed time. She’s rushing and impatient and not thinking of the consequences of her actions, just the results they should bring.
I really like her.
And Jin Yi is a hypocrite. She’s annoyed/ disappointed/ doesn’t like that Rumi has immersed herself into her role and calls the Duke Father, but she’s allowed to live her life solely for His Highness and is going out of her way to snitch on Gretchen immediately after her slip up because rules are rules and that is what she is supposed to do? She is just as immersed, if not more. If she wasn’t, she would have at least given Gretchen a chance to fix her mistake, like I’ll let this slip once and won’t tell on you and it’ll be our secret. That’s someone not immersed. Immediately alerting the Head Stewart and not in a way of just doing it because it’s her role but because of how serious it is is full immersion.
I know it’s only for the time they are there, but still, she’s so negative about Rumi and anything she does. Like a parent waiting on the their kid to mess up badly just so they can say told you so instead of letting them make their mistakes and grow from it without the taunting.
Even with all this, I still really like all of the characters, especially Lutz. He’s a cutie.
