Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 113
Ippolito stared wide-eyed at his father, thinking he’d just heard him suggest pinning the murder charge on his mother. What startled him wasn’t guilt—but the panic of being discovered.
‘Father already knows I was involved?!’
But Cardinal de Mare was speaking in a different context altogether. He hadn’t the slightest suspicion that his son was the true culprit. He simply intended to cast aside his wife—or rather, his concubine—for the sake of the family’s honor.
“You’re still young, with your whole life ahead of you—barely more than a sprout. You haven’t even secured your position yet, let alone married.”
Cardinal de Mare spoke while gazing at Ippolito.
“Your mother has already been conclusively branded a murderer in the marketplace. At this rate, someone—Scampa or whoever—will soon file a formal accusation against Lucrezia before the ‘Royal Court.’”
“What?! The ‘Royal Court’?”
It was precisely the kind of situation every noble desperately avoided. The “Royal Court” was an emergency tribunal where a temporary judge, appointed directly by the king, arrived on-site to investigate the matter from multiple angles before delivering a verdict.
If the king happened to appoint a judge who held a personal grudge against the accused, the consequences could be disastrous—humiliation was guaranteed, and any notion of fairness would be thrown to the dogs.
Even in less extreme cases, these temporary judges often used their investigative authority as an excuse to dig into irrelevant matters—such as the household’s financial ledgers or property holdings—despite having no connection to the crime itself.
Those findings were then reported directly to the king. Subsequently, the royal court would either impose penalties based on those records or, even if nothing incriminating surfaced, routinely pressure the noble family into making “donations.”
“If your mother becomes a formally accused murderer before the Royal Court, do you really think your future still looks bright?”
Ippolito remained silent.
“Who would ever entrust their daughter to the son of a murderer? You know better than anyone—you need a wife with a title.”
More precisely, he needed an only daughter of a noble family who held a hereditary title—and preferably an earldom or higher.
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.
