Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 88
Ippolito thought there was a hint of mockery in the other person’s voice. A surge of anger rose within him.
But Ippolito took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his temper.
‘Stay calm, Ippolito. What good would come from fighting with a trivial little girl?’
Since he had gone through the trouble of restraining himself this once, things needed to go smoothly. Ippolito urged Ariadne in the gentlest tone he could muster.
“Didn’t Mother send you an additional 23 ducats (approximately 23 million won) separately from the usual 15 ducats?”
“Oh, you mean that.”
Ariadne opened an old ledger, found the relevant entry, and drew a long red line beneath it.
“So this is the ledger Mother prepared herself. 15 ducats—allowance for Ippolito. 23 ducats—overseas study expenses for Ippolito.”
She waited just long enough for Ippolito to read Lucrezia’s handwriting before closing the ledger.
Thud—the sound was unusually loud.
“Now that your studies abroad are over, the study allowance will no longer be paid. You’re no longer paying rent, and since you’re eating at home, there’s no separate food expense either. Excluding that, the budget allocated to you, older brother, is 15 ducats per month.”
Ariadne believed she had treated Ippolito with the respect due to the eldest son.
Technically, this ledger wasn’t something Ippolito should be looking at. Only because he was the eldest son—the future head of the household—had she exceptionally allowed him to examine the mistress’s household accounts.
Yet Ippolito felt that Ariadne was unjustly blocking his rightful inspection of accounts he, as the eldest son, was entitled to review.
But there was no bargaining in the face of gold. Since he’d come today specifically to collect money, he took another deep breath and held back his frustration once more.
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.
