The resentful gaze that seemed to wish him to be a bad person, the eyes full of resentment that believed something would change if he attended the party today.
If he went to the party today, what would change?
“…Bia. Olivia?”
A gentle voice called Olivia. Waking up from self-pity, Olivia was startled, lifting her head.
In the reception room of the Duke’s residence.
Edwin, sitting right in front, looked at Olivia with a letter in his hand. He then lowered his head after looking at her face.
“It won’t work, Olivia.”
“Yes?”
“We need to return to Bicandre quickly. There are too many people stealing my lady’s attention here.”
Sobel, who knew how strongly the Duke bit into the words under the seemingly casual remark, remained silent.
But for Olivia, it was just a somewhat amusing joke to hear.
Quickly putting on a bright smile, Edwin forcibly suppressed his surging emotions.
And speaking in a hoarse voice as if confiding his circumstances.
“It’s not something to laugh about. I’m really serious. Olivia may not know, but just know that I’m really holding back.”
“If you can’t hold back,”
Olivia, who was about to continue joking cheerfully, paused for a moment.
When Edwin’s bright red eyes, pretending to be pitiful, blinked heavily, Olivia thought that maybe Edwin’s words were only half not sincere.
“…I won’t ask such foolish questions like whether you’re holding back.”
“It’s perfectly fine to ask. I am.”
Perhaps without realizing, more than being half frustrated… Edwin’s seductive voice resonated softly.
Olivia, who was looking at Edwin with a voice so exquisite that her cheeks were about to flush, looked at Sobel with a realization.
Sobel, who was discreetly observing the rosy atmosphere, glanced down as the clock ticked.
“…After checking the letters, I will send someone immediately once you reply.”
Letters…?
Perplexed by the sudden words, Olivia just realized the existence of not only the letter Edwin was holding but also numerous letters piled on the table.
“Are all those letters for me?”
Even though letters with the emblem of the Hwangga were scattered carelessly on the floor, neither Olivia nor Edwin pointed it out.
“Yes. Well.”
Edwin, who was gazing at the letters as if it were bothersome, immediately shook the letter he was holding lightly.
“Among these, about one that Olivia might care about?”
Olivia’s face brightened as she confirmed Esella’s personal seal stamped on the delicate pink letter envelope. Edwin, who was looking at her with loosely curved eyes, smoothed his expression and casually hid the letter behind him.
Huh?
While Olivia blinked her large eyes, a subtle voice reached Olivia.
“If I give you this letter, what will you give me, Miss?”
“It’s not a letter for me anyway.”
“Right now, it’s in my hands.”
The languid eyes did not miss Olivia. The unavoidable gaze gradually became ambiguous.
The reddening cheek, the warming neck, the prominently protruding lips.
Yet, Edwin’s expression, facing Olivia’s eyes as if unsure of what to do, gradually softened.
“…It’s fatal.”
“Sometimes, it’s better to become more fatal than the lady who gives attention.”
Not uttering a word. Unintentionally, the lips extended in a tempting manner were extremely seductive to the man who turned the nobleman’s appearance upside down. Edwin, who slowly rose with a languid sway, did not forget to gesture to Sobel to leave.
With this level of petulance, it was very light for the temper lost due to being robbed of attention. Edwin swallowed the suppressed laughter.
At that moment, at the main gate of the scorching palace where the sunlight was intense.
“What, you say?!”
Katanta, the self-made monk, who had an overwhelming and ecstatic expression against the large and magnificent castle, asked in confusion.
“Look again. Princess…!”
“Unfortunately.”
With a face that showed no regret, the knight repeated the words.
“Your Highness is not on the guest list for the party.”
Katanta, the self-made monk, blushed deeply.
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.
