“Ah….”
A sigh from an unknown source resonated in the silent reception room.
Evelia Caroline blinked her eyes, her face flushed. She barely exhaled each time her breath got caught, even that cautiously. Her heart pounded so wildly it felt like her whole body was reverberating.
Hot breath cascaded down from above her head, making her, already flustered, even more so.
Evelia bit her lower lip. Although her mind thought she should distance herself from his embrace, her body remained motionless.
She could neither push him away nor escape from him. The wrist he had seized felt so hot it seemed as if it could turn into ashes.
Her heartbeat quickened, and she started to feel nauseous. It felt as if the ember on her wrist had moved to her heart.
Uncontrollable emotions filled her entire body like a smoke from burning incense. Breathing had become humiliatingly difficult.
Evelia laboriously took a step back. Between the space only a step wide, her wrist still dangled precariously, clutched by him.
She couldn’t take her eyes off it. Realizing her gaze belatedly, he hurriedly released her wrist and retreated. Then, he muttered in an uncharacteristically flustered voice.
“….Ah, I made a mistake.”
“….”
“Old habits from the battlefield are still with me… back then, I had to eliminate everyone who approached me to survive.”
His rambling excuses didn’t suit him at all. He probably interpreted her gaze in a negative way.
It’s not that she disliked it. Just that her heart had trembled so much that she could only react that way.
Evelia was suddenly reminded of a few days ago, after the victory party had ended and she was on her way to the prince’s palace with him.
[Your Highness, I regret to say, but I wish you would give me another chance to respond.]It was an offer she had impulsively made.
The time spent with him at the banquet hall was so delightful. The time walking side by side with him after the party was also the same.
Even as she couldn’t get Relia’s rude words that she had only borrowed him out of her mind, her time with him made her heart swell. Therefore, she had been greedy, despite knowing she shouldn’t.
[When I desperately want to hear Your Highness’s story, I will speak again. Then please share your story with me then.] [….] [I wish I could spend time with Your Highness just like today until then.] The reason Lirelia could be so forthright before me was because of the political reasoning that fully occupied the space between Liurian and me. She didn’t need to say it; I knew it better than anyone.He returned from the battlefield after a year and unexpectedly showed me affection, indicating a will to love. Nevertheless, the insurmountable obstacle remained our relationship with Liurian.
He stood as the son of the empress, wielding influence over various factions. Being the daughter of the Caroline duchy, it was an inescapable dilemma for me.
Therefore, I acted on impulse more and more. I wanted to enjoy it just a little more. I wanted to be happier for just a bit longer. Just a bit more, even if for a very short time, I wanted to prolong the moments spent with him.
Even if we were to revert back to being less than strangers because of the political reasons that fully occupied the space between us, I continuously rationalized that it was okay to act on impulse for just a moment.
However, Evelia slightly regretted that day’s decision at that moment.
“……”
“……”
She carefully gazed at the spot where Liurian’s hand had touched moments before. Even after quite some time had passed since he withdrew his arm, a warm heat still lingered on her skin. Moreover, the distinct shape of his large hand remained as if branded.
Somehow, she felt that even after a long time had passed, and even after becoming less than a stranger to him, that mark would still be vividly present. That’s why her heart ached, yet that too was a form of happiness. A trace that allowed her to remember him had been formed.
“I heard that the flowers in the Crown Prince’s garden have fully bloomed, Your Majesty.”
“……”
“The weather is also perfect for a walk. Would you walk with me?”
Evelia once again made what might be an impulsive suggestion. It didn’t matter. Even when time passed and we reached an irreversible relationship, even if today becomes overwhelmingly regretful, Evelia wanted today to be happy.
She didn’t want to think any further.
That was the answer Evelia chose at this very moment.
Evelia politely clasped her hands and took delicate steps. As she walked alongside Liurian, rows of various blooming flowers stretched before them. The warm sunlight pouring from above was beyond beautiful.
Adding Liurian, who stood next to me, to this scene, it felt like there couldn’t be anything more perfect.
Except for Liurian’s expression, which seemed vaguely uncomfortable for some reason.
“Your Majesty, are you still not feeling well?”
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.
