Her body slowly stiffened. The day death arrived, Charlotte was completely forgotten.
“Your father is not coming.”
It was what her husband said as he watched Charlotte dying. Her fingertips stiffened as she feebly fumbled the bed, and her gaze looked at her husband with regret.
“The family’s disgrace dies here.”
Why me.
Why am I in this state.
“The disgrace’s death is also buried.”
“Ah, don’t do this to me. Ah… Ahhh!”
“Thoroughly hide her story of madness. Don’t let this story leak outside.”
Did they hide my death?
Ah.
Yes. That’s right. Morgens. You did. You lost half your body’s skin to burns, and in the end, ended your life with lunatic disease. Even as her lungs stiffened and her life approached its end, nobody looked back at her.
(This is a time divider.)
“Eat whatever you want. Rest comfortably, and then come back.”
Leandro comforted Charlotte’s shoulder.
“Everything will be done by then, so don’t worry and take your time.”
They began to go through the procedure to take Charlotte from her inlaws. They were going through that procedure today. And Charlotte was planning to avoid the place to minimize other noise.
“Your Highness, please take good care of Charlotte.”
“Shall I return by evening?”
“Yes. The inheritance procedure should be done by then, so please rest comfortably with the child.”
Benjamin stepped out for a moment to avoid the crowd.
Although the uncle warned him to be cautious, this time he readily supported Charlotte.
Is it really…
Is it all over? Is it over like this?
“Charl.”
Benjamin called her.
“Charlotte!”
Charlotte turned her head slowly.
“I’m listening.”
“I can clearly see that you’re spacing out.”
“I’m feeling a bit tense because people are coming from the main house.”
They had come outside before she knew it. When she looked around, it was a familiar commercial street. Ah, were they going to eat here?
She was walking without knowing where she was going, lost in thought.
Charlotte came to a sudden stop, and Benjamin carelessly reached out.
“Your complexion is a bit red.”
Benjamin touched her cheek with his hand.
“Is it typical for stress to show on your body?”
It had been common for her to get a slight fever when she was sleepdeprived or stressed since a long time ago.
“Who does this resemble?”
“I resemble my late mother.”
They ate at a restaurant. Except for their complicated emotions, the food itself was fine.
It was also a restaurant located in a bustling commercial area, and the taste of the food was all neat.
Still, the food soon became tasteless.
“Does the meal not suit your taste?”
“I usually don’t enjoy meals.”
“Who does that resemble?”
“This too resembles my late mother.”
My mother and I were similar in many ways. We resembled each other.
“What about Windsor did you hate so much?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“My father. I wonder what he hated so much that he despised it like that. I thought it was my fault when I was young.”
It was around the time my mother died in my previous life.
There was something my father said when Charlotte was dragged into a forced marriage.
‘I have done enough. You go your way now.’
You’ve done enough? What did you do enough of?
You never gave me any choice. You talk as if I had a choice, but there never was one.
Charlotte poked at her salad with a fork.
“Your expression isn’t great.”
“A little. Some unpleasant memories came back.”
The memories of the past felt like they were grabbing her ankles and dragging her down. In the end, Charlotte put down her utensils.
Benjamin also finished his meal, fiddling with his glass. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and sighed.
“……Just to let you know in advance.”
“Yes?”
Windsor will pay a heavy price to take you out. You will permanently give up your biological mother’s personal property and rip the entire business to hand over to the Tutor. Shall I just give one arm? It will be a situation where one whole leg is torn off. In return, Windsor will demand your dismissal.
Charlotte’s finger trembled slightly.
It’s only one year. Custody until you turn twenty. Windsor pays a heavy price to get that one thing.
“If your biological father doesn’t take you out, you can’t leave that family. It means your father claims your ownership.”
This was not a discussion about custody. It was ownership, dealing with possession.
“Remember that feeling well.”
Charlotte steadied her breath slowly. Her trembling stopped at her single word. She stroked her neck with a stiff gesture.
“It was expected.”
“Yes.”
“If taking you out was as light as words, it wouldn’t have come to this. Your biological mother, you, and that corner of the house.”
Charlotte fiddled with her fingertips. She remembers that rage. She has etched that injustice and etched it again.
“I kept quiet in the first place.”
Now is the time to push. Getting out of that family comes first.
Rather, I chose to be abandoned. So, I cut off the rotten root.
At that time, a few more groups entered the restaurant. Charlotte’s expression was twisted together.
Ah.
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.
