The footsteps of a man breaking the silence and the fast-paced steps of the woman following him echoed through the corridor.
Roderick confirmed Diana’s presence throughout his walk.
As if the wrist in his hand could be an illusion, he clenched and released it several times while checking.
He didn’t even feel that his own hand was as hot as being dipped in fire.
“Ah.”
Wobbling. She couldn’t catch up with his steps, and her steps were futile. With beast-like physical abilities, Roderick lifted Diana in his arms in one go.
“Be careful.”
“……. ”
The cold blue eyes were boiling like blue flames rising from the lowest point.
Feeling her breath from a close distance, Roderick was relieved. Holding her tightly, seemingly unimpressed, he headed towards the bedroom.
“Roderick.”
“……. ”
It was a strange experience. Sharing a body with someone else, but being a third party observing the situation was, to say the least, an unpleasant sensation.
The body responded faithfully to her, but it felt stifling not to be able to move according to my will.
He sat her on the bed, placing her on his thigh. Without saying a word, a worried expression was evident in the fixed gaze and pink eyes.
“Did it hurt a lot?”
Diana tried to touch her cheeks, where the swelling had started to subside, with her incredible recovery ability.
“Why.”
“Huh?”
Her hand wandered, heading towards the firm chest muscles. Roderick pulled her hand away and placed it on his chest.
For a moment, her body, which had lost control, felt unfamiliar even with a single muscle moving. Even her own voice seemed strange.
“Why do you keep invading my heart?”
Does Diana know?
When she collapsed in pain. When he saw her back transformed into a mess of wounds. When she tearfully looked at his back with a helpless expression. It felt like a heavy rock pressing on his chest, as if she had resigned herself.
An emotion he had never experienced in his lifetime seemed to invade his throat.
He wanted to hold Diana in his arms immediately, but his body, which had lost control, didn’t move.
Frustration, longing, confusion, pity. Everything mixed together, stirring up anger.
“Why act like nothing’s wrong? Just staying calm.”
He swept her back and was gently stroking it. It was a touch filled with concern, not a possessive gesture.
Diana looked at Roderick for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, “I’m okay.”
Roderick leaned his forehead against her shoulder to hide the contorted expression.
“You’re not okay.”
As time passed, the emotions she stirred up only became more vivid and intense.
If various colors intertwine and dye everything black, will this frustration disappear?
“Diana.”
Roderick’s raised blue eyes, as if determined to answer, stared directly at her without avoiding.
Since the moment he met her, bit by bit, like clothes getting wet in drizzle, he soaked in her presence. Each of her actions stirred his heart.
Her not crying caused a dull pain in his throbbing heart. It made him angry. His voice lowered.
“Don’t pretend to be fine in front of me.”
“……. ”
What’s he talking about? She, who was about to laugh it off, hardened her expression at his serious attitude.
How could he not know? Diana bit her lower lip.
Just an extra in a novel. Probably terminally ill. That’s what she thought until the shock of discovering whip marks and curses she hadn’t imagined.
Although she managed the aftermath of the shock, the emotions she couldn’t suppress were seeping out.
She was just holding onto her throbbing heart, trying to hide it as if she didn’t know. There were so many things to deal with immediately.
“Why does it matter?”
The sharp words that popped out were rude. However, the suppressed sorrow, just being noticed by the other, shook her greatly.
“Diana.”
The low and gentle voice stimulated her eyelashes. Unintentionally, the teardrop that fell was cold.
“What if I’m not okay?”
One drop, two drops. In the falling tears, the suppressed fear burst out.
Think about it. It’s absurd enough to recall forgotten memories, but being whipped on the back. It can only be terrifying. The resurrected memories invoked the fear of that time.
It was scary. I wanted to say it was scary. I wanted to grab Roderick’s ancestor, ask him why such a thing happened to me, and cry.
“I’m really fine.”
But the ancestral spirit to interrogate disappeared into the ring.
“I was fine.”
Diana, facing Roderick, who encouraged her to burst out the emotions she had been holding in, weakly struck his chest like venting her anger.
“I’m enduring it, why do you keep making me weak? Hoo.”
She shed tears, not holding back as he suggested. In her blurred vision due to tears, Roderick’s loosened face appeared.
“I’m fine because I’m strong.”
Her sorrow exploded even more at his casually uttered words.
“Who are you to be fine! Who are you to me!”
She was neither his fiancée nor anything else. Just a relationship that healed each other’s bodies
“Don’t hold back. If it’s scary, say it’s scary. I’ll take everything for you.”
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.
