Nathan Beatus, the third child of the Beatus family, a prominent figure in their lineage.
Known as the Red Wolf, he was as renowned on the battlefield as Roderick, participating in conflicts everywhere without discrimination between north and south.
Merciless in combat, battles led by him often ended before they could even start, with enemies trembling in fear.
The Red Wolf, carrying the heavy scent of blood, never settled in one place, making it hard to track his whereabouts.
“Roderick Schwarz. You know I hate it when people use my full name, right?”
Roderick ignored Nathan’s comment, briefly suppressing his emerging madness and opened his eyes after closing them tightly.
He took out a wrap of tobacco leaves, lit it, and inhaled deeply. The white smoke from his exhalation obscured his vision.
Lazily his blue eyes relaxed amidst the dispersing smoke.
“You’re still ignoring people. Why are you here?”
“Diana Beatus.”
Nathan’s hand, running through his red hair, stopped abruptly. His expression hardened instantly.
“What did you say?”
“I have something to ask about Diana.”
“Captain!”
Roderick raised his gloved hand, signaling his men to stop.
Don’t move. At his command, the men stepped back, hands still on their swords.
“Speak. Why are you bringing up our youngest?”
It was too quick for even the elite to follow. The blade reached Roderick’s neck, and a trickle of red liquid flowed down.
Nathan, now close, glared at Roderick with intense eyes.
Roderick remained composed, almost arrogantly so. Nathan’s temples bulged with tension at his attitude.
“Speak carefully. Say it wrong, and your head flies off here.”
Hmm, does he care for his sister? Diana’s name evoking such a reaction was unexpected. A hothead who only knew fighting.
Maybe he can be excluded as a suspect for confining Diana in the Black Forest.
Roderick calmly observed Nathan’s aggression and spoke softly.
“Get lost.”
His mouth opened wide, a smile forming as he grew angrier. Smiling wider as he got angrier was one of Nathan’s habits.
“Answer me. Roderick Schwarz.”
Who is Roderick Schwarz? His name alone could change the tide of battle, a tyrant of the battlefield.
Few dared to confront Roderick directly, but Nathan, who had rolled in the mud of war alongside him, was one of those few.
“Still can’t make sense, huh? That’s why you always lose to me.”
A comrade to trust one’s back with. Roderick had already assessed his character. Nathan could be trusted with Diana’s location. A man at odds with the Beatus family and seemingly deeply attached to his sister.
“What, you bastard? What are you…”
Roderick interrupted Nathan’s outburst after a brief contemplation.
“Your sister. She’s with our family.”
Bang! With a loud noise, dust rose like a sandstorm. Every clash of their swords echoed like thunder.
“Why is my sister in your house? Kidnapping? Is it kidnapping?”
It was a one-sided attack by Nathan. Roderick, effortlessly parrying the heavy blows that would have shattered an ordinary soldier’s arm, ignored his words.
“Crazy? Really crazy? I knew you were bloodthirsty, but have you finally lost it over a woman, too?! You bastard! Kidnapping my sister from the capital, even if she’s pretty! You’re dead!”
Sigh. A cool sigh lingered with the aftertaste of tobacco. Blue eyes briefly scanned the surroundings.
Amidst the noise they were making, the mock battle seemed to have ceased. A crowd had gathered around them, watching the spectacle with great interest.
“Wow, that’s insane. Are those even human movements?”
“I bet 1 gold on Commander Roderick!”
“Hey, but you can’t ignore the reputation of the Red Wolf. I’m betting 2 gold on Vice-Captain Nathan.”
It was like a battle of the century, with people even betting on who would win. Roderick’s men had taken the front row.
“Of course our commander’s going to win! Don’t you see that unparalleled composure, guys!”
“What are you talking about? And why are you in our area without any notice?”
“Never mind that, just place your bets. On our commander! No wait, we need to win, so bet on the Red Wolf. You’re on his side, right?”
These guys, all lacking discipline. I’ll deal with you later. But first, you.
“Die already!”
His eyes had completely gone wild. Roderick adjusted his sword as he dodged and parried Nathan’s strikes.
Noticing the slight change, Nathan also gripped his sword handle tighter.
“I won’t draw blood, since you’re Diana’s family.”
“What are you… Cough!”
Seizing an opportunity, Roderick struck with his sword and bent his waist to deliver a punch to Nathan’s abdomen.
“Oooh!”
Regardless of whether Nathan fell or not, the crowd’s response was enthusiastic.
“I won’t go down with just that…!”
Roderick didn’t give him a moment’s respite. He struck Nathan’s temple with the hilt of his sword before he could even rise, sending him reeling with a blow that felt like it could have decapitated his head.
What followed was a brutal beating. Nathan, already irate due to his madness, became Roderick’s prey.
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.
