Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 263
Ariadne was surrounded by her friends, receiving their praise about how perfect tonight’s ball was. Gabrielle, who had secured a seat in the VIP section not thanks to her parents but her own connections at Duke Cesare’s ball, smiled at Cornelia, who wore a displeased expression.
“I told you, didn’t I? Duke Cesare isn’t bad at all.”
There was a hint of pride in her voice, stemming from her own foresight in backing Cesare over Alfonso during their rivalry.
They had gathered only among the girls, shooing all the men to the adjacent table. Though close enough to overhear, their male companions were all gentlemen—none would stoop to eavesdropping on ladies’ conversations.
Thus, they spoke freely, each holding a glass of Acireto sparkling wine, thoroughly exhilarated.
“Isn’t this ball absolutely magical?”
As the daughter of a northern magnate, Gabrielle was accustomed to luxuries and indulgences so grand that they barely moved her. She had grown up surrounded by extravagance of such magnitude that little could impress her anymore.
Yet, even Gabrielle was deeply moved by the ball Cesare had prepared for Ariadne today.
“It must have cost at least three thousand ducats.”
Camellia, technically a baron’s daughter but effectively a merchant’s child, chimed in agreement. But Gabrielle waved her hand dismissively.
“No, no—that’s not what I meant at all.”
“Then what?”
“The thoughtfulness is flawless!”
Gabrielle praised how the venue separated the second-floor VIP seats from the general seating on the first floor, eliminating unnecessary encounters. She admired the conveniently arranged circulation paths and the impeccably trained staff of Villa Sorotone, who executed every protocol without a single misstep. Indeed, nothing felt out of place.
“I’ve attended countless balls, but Villa Sorotone is the first estate I’ve ever seen with servants of such caliber! It truly felt like being in the royal palace.”
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.
