“It seems the word is slow to get around. What happens if you casually collect tolls on this street, I thought it was already wellknown.”
“What?”
“What is that woman saying? Hey, noble lady. Didn’t they tell you not to walk alone in such alleys at home?”
Olivia grinned.
“Hey, don’t you hear my, ah!!”
The man was thrust against the wall before he could finish his words. He was right.
Nobles never traveled alone wherever they went. Especially not Olivia, who was a princess and the fiancée of the crown prince.
Olivia spoke lightly.
“Send them to the police.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The knight, Sir Rein, entered the alley with a wide stride. The remaining men were taken aback and cried out, pulling out their jackknives, aiming them at the hooded person as if to stab.
“Do, don’t come near!”
Oh dear. Olivia clicked her tongue. Sir Rein was really sensitive to knives.
“Don’t, don’t approach, ah!”
“Ah! Do, doing this won’t, ah!”
As Sir Rein approached, the frightened men swung their knives wildly at him, but to no avail. In no time, the men were subdued, and the knights led them away in chains.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Not at all.”
As if it were expected, Sir Rein and his partner, Sir Derobon, bowed. Then, looking at Olivia, they glanced down the alley.
At the sign asking what to do next, Olivia looked into the alley. The hooded person was still standing there.
Olivia headed inward. Sally, who was behind her, was surprised and spoke softly.
“Miss! Are you going in person? It could be a dangerous person!”
“Or would you like to go?”
Teasingly matching her rhythm, Sally spoke as if betting her life.
“Yes! I will, I’ll go!”
Olivia smiled faintly and moved forward. Sir Rein and Sir Derobon followed as if they had expected it, and even Sally hurried after her.
Noble one, indeed. Even if I hadn’t intervened, they wouldn’t have collected much toll. Up close, the man’s robe was adorned with beautiful patterns, but it was not the kind found on highquality products.
“Are you all right?”
“…I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks to you,”
The man’s faint words were suddenly cut off. Although his face was not clearly visible due to the robe, it seemed he was staring intently at her.
What is it? In the strange silence, Olivia chuckled, and soon the man slowly approached her. One step, one step. The moment he was getting close.
Suddenly, the man staggered and leaned toward Olivia. Startled, she instinctively supported him.
In the blink of an eye, Sir Rein and Sir Derobon rushed forward, but the man immediately pulled away from Olivia as if he had regained his senses.
“Miss!”
Startled, Sally blocked Olivia’s way. Derobon Kyung took off the man’s robe, and the furious Sally suddenly fell silent.
It was not unreasonable for this to happen.
The man was truly beautiful.
With black hair like raven feathers, white skin, dark eyebrows, and slender, deeply curved eyes with twinkling red pupils.
Even down to his wellshaped lips beneath his aristocratic nose, his elegant yet beautiful face was as if sculpted with perfection by a god.
But what silenced everyone at that moment was not merely the man’s beauty.
Despite his unfazed voice after being threatened by the knife, the man was trembling. His red eyes, quaking with fear, met Olivia’s.
Various emotions crossed over his pale face as if he had met his savior for the first time, like a newly born deer. A little fear, relief, and gratitude when he finally smiled.
His slender eyes closed, and a single tear that had been caught under them dropped.
Everyone lost their words at that tear, as the man spoke with a slightly trembling voice.
“…My legs gave out. I was really dizzy. Thank you. How should I repay this debt?”
The man’s eyes slowly reddened.
All, including Olivia, who were bewildered by his picturesque beauty, had forgotten two facts.
The single tear that the man shed was squeezed out, only as big as an ant’s pee, and,
Contrary to his red eyes that seemed about to overflow with tears, his pupils were solely fixed on Olivia.
These two facts.
…
…
…
“Thank you once again for helping me.”
Apparently, the man seemed no threat, as both Reine Kyung and Derobon Kyung backed away.
Finally calming down a bit, the man grasped the end of his robe and dabbed his eyes. He smiled shyly, but his voice was splendid, and his gaze clear.
With a beautiful face, a noble demeanor flashed whenever he smiled. Olivia looked at him for a moment.
Who is he?
If he is a noble of the Empire.
…He would not smile at me like this.
Olivia, who memorized the Imperial Noble Directory perfectly at the age of twelve, had never seen this man before.
If he was a noble missing from the directory, he must have been executed, or,
It must be… Duke Vicander.
Black hair and rubyred eyes tinged with red. Someone came to mind with those features, but Olivia shook her head.
No way. That Duke Vicander came to mind.
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.
