“In the sky-blue dress, this white corsage seems to suit much better.”
“Oh, really?”
Lina touched the corsage Mei had put on and looked at herself in the mirror. Whether it was due to the treatment or not, her hair, now softer than before, matched the sky-blue dress quite well.
“I like this too. Thank you, Mei.”
Today was her first social gathering as Lady Lina, as a daughter of the Dartmouth Viscountess.
‘Tea party of the Dartmouth Viscountess’s daughter.’
Lina, who had been staring into space blankly, recalled the words of the Melbourne Viscountess a few days ago.
[It would be good to participate in a small social gathering before the upcoming hunting competition to make your face known.] [The hunting competition is not far off… Will there be any social gathering I can attend?] [Coincidentally, my granddaughter Michelle is hosting a tea party two days from now. It would be good for you to go there and reveal yourself first. Build friendships with your peers. Michelle is a bright child, and if you get close to her, you’ll adapt to the social scene more quickly. Think of the tea party as a practice run and attend it with a light heart.]“Hoo [sigh].”
Although the Melbourne Viscountess assured her granddaughter that she had already talked to her, the sense of burden was significant as it was her first appearance in aristocratic circles.
‘But it’s fortunate to have such an event before the hunting competition.’
Even a tea party gathering young ladies was tense. How nervous would she be at a big event like the hunting competition?
Without the advice of the Viscountess, she might have made a big mistake at the hunting competition.
It was when Lina, exhaling evenly, was easing her tense body. Mei, who was adjusting her clothes, muttered in a locked voice.
“Miss, do you know how much I wished for this moment? Even just a few days ago, when you disappeared in the forest, I couldn’t have imagined a day like today…”
Now almost stammering, Mei looked momentarily bewildered at Lina, who smiled faintly.
“There won’t be such a thing anymore.”
“Yes, I find it quite unbelievable too.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll always be by your side.”
Lina embraced Mei, patting her back.
“Shall we go now? We can’t be late for the first appearance.”
“Yes…!”
With Mei, who quickly regained vitality, Lina stepped outside the mansion. However,
“Huh?”
In the place where the coachman should be standing, a familiar silhouette caught her eye.
“Marquis?”
“Lina.”
Bellige, who had been leaning against the carriage door, stood up when he noticed Lina.
“Why is the Marquis here…?”
‘Yesterday, the butler clearly said the Marquis was going to the royal palace early in the morning.’
Lina looked at the Marquis with a puzzled expression. However, as if it were obvious for him to be here, Bellige reached out his hand towards Lina.
“Did I not say I’m Dartmouth Viscount? I happened to have some business, so I passed by. Since we’re going in the same direction, shall we go together?”
She stared at Bellige, who spoke in a gentle tone.
‘Lies.’
While the palace the Marquis had to go to was in the central part of the capital, the viscount’s mansion Lina had to visit was on the outskirts of the capital.
Therefore, Bellige’s words about passing by were false. It was probably just an excuse he came up with because he wanted to accompany her.
However, pretending not to know anything, Lina smiled at Bellige and extended her hand.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
The Marquis also drew a careful line on her hand with his lips, forming a smile.
“And today is an important day for you, so let’s go together.”
“Actually, I was a bit nervous. Thanks to you, the journey won’t be lonely.”
Lina responded with a grateful smile to the Marquis’s consideration.
At the entrance of the Dartmouth Viscount’s mansion, carriages of young ladies attending the tea party were lined up.
As the ladies, one by one, got off the carriages and gathered to head to the garden where the tea party was taking place, at that moment.
When a black carriage entered, the steps of the ladies heading towards the garden came to a halt.
“Look at that carriage.”
Starting with one young lady’s words, the attention of the ladies began to focus on one place.
“The carriage entering now, isn’t it the Fermannes family’s carriage?”
“Judging by the engraved pattern, it seems so.”
“If that’s the case, the person in the carriage…”
Could it be the Marquis’s fiancée, whose rumors were buzzing about? As everyone was glancing around to see the lady getting off the carriage, it happened.
Dash.
As the figure revealed between the open doors of the carriage came into view, everyone involuntarily held their breath.
“Oh my.”
Jet-black hair that seemed to swallow even the sunlight and a tall figure.
“Is that person by any chance…”
A decent appearance that was hard to believe had wandered on a battlefield for a long time.
For a brief moment, the ladies who hadn’t recognized the man who got off the carriage seemed to realize something, as they let out short gasps.
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.
