Rather Than Be Taken, I Will Take (12 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 63
Aden’s steps halted on his way back to his room in the annex when he spotted Ludmila quietly asleep in the sunroom, now cloaked in darkness.
Against the deepening twilight, a vivid moon hung just behind Ludmila, who lay immersed in peaceful slumber.
Soft moonlight streamed through the window, casting lattice-patterned shadows across the floor.
Seeing her asleep within those crisscrossed shadows, bathed in light, Aden let out a bewildered smile.
No matter how trustworthy the servants stationed here might be, could anyone really be this defenseless?
Aden couldn’t understand Ludmila’s behavior.
Her usual demeanor—calm, cold as glass, and unforgiving of mistakes—sometimes made her seem obsessive.
Yet at other times, she appeared like a devout believer, carefully avoiding crossing the invisible boundary between them, or even like a martyr willing to sacrifice her life to accomplish something.
Just when he grew accustomed to that image and began taking it for granted, she’d reveal a gap like this, as if teasing him.
The woman who had insisted coming to the capital was dangerous and that she’d be extra cautious now showed such a flaw—it was both disheartening and absurd.
How could he simply nod along every time she told him not to worry, only to then expose herself like this?
Aden moved slowly inside.
In the utter silence, he approached Ludmila and glanced at the documents she’d likely been reading just moments before.
They were complex papers related to the contract she couldn’t let go of, even here.
Though he’d already done far more than what their agreement stipulated, Ludmila seemed to believe it wasn’t enough and threw herself into it even more blindly.
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.
