This wench is for real.
I involuntarily cursed. She should mind her own test; why the fuss over me!
“You……, got a blank score?”
I barely exhaled the breath I’d held.
When I avoided her gaze, Misha came right over and sat next to me. She must think I’m her friend now.
I said in a placating manner.
“Misha, it’s better not to tell anyone about this. Because, no matter how shameless I am, getting a zero is embarrassing, so…”
“It was because of your mother? It was because of your mother, right? You don’t have to say no. I know it all. Your mother wouldn’t just leave you!”
I tightly closed my mouth. Even you, Misha, I wanted to twist and smack the mouth that had cheered me on.
Misha leaned back, as if my expression was enough of an answer.
How to shut this wretch up, I thought, and Misha whispered.
“I know how much you wanted to go to the academy. You wanted to leave this house by going to the dormitory, right?”
“…….”
Looking at Misha’s innocent eyes, I felt jealous for some reason. She lived in a clean world where my kind of worries didn’t exist.
Yes, you wench. If you know, why don’t you just let me go?
“I have no responsibility for what my mother did. I didn’t ask for it, and I didn’t even know. But I feel sorry, so I’ll give you a gift.”
Hey, you……. I also feel like grabbing your hair, Misha.
I held back something bubbling up inside me, but Misha was walking on clouds.
She leaned towards me with a happy face and whispered in my ear.
“Your mother has been sending letters here every year.”
“……!”
Perhaps at that moment, my eyes trembled as if they were shattered. Mother. Letter. I heard the sound of a corner of my heart breaking.
Misha whispered very quietly, glancing at the door.
“Your mother started sending letters a few years before you came to this house, but our mother burned them all. Father doesn’t know about it.”
My heart was fluttering like a bird fallen from a tree.
Misha said.
“Mother paid the people Father hired to find your mother to lie that they failed. You know our family is connected to the commercial side, right? Even to mercenary groups and such.”
“…….”
“And yet it’s amazing how Father found you, you know? The reason I’m telling you this is to let you know that Father didn’t pretend not to know you on purpose.”
I was confused.
“You acting so standoffish with Father, I think Father’s secretly hurt by it too……. You know this is a secret, right?”
Misha suddenly stood up and said this as she left.
“Now I’m a student at the Imperial Academy. There won’t be a chance to see you again……. I’m telling you this as a commemoration that our tiresome relationship is finally over.”
I slowly stretched out on the sofa, gazing at the ceiling, muttering feebly.
“That wretched luck, right until the end…….”
The reason Earl had come to me, who had been living on Mount Tunbar, all at once entered my mind.
Mother thought she couldn’t raise me in such an environment any longer. Perhaps since the time I’d come back bleeding from beatings and becoming a foulmouthed brat.
She must have feared not knowing when she might die, leaving only me behind. Mount Tunbar was notorious for hating people. It often took people and never returned them.
So, Mother risked danger and contacted the Earl, but there was no reply.
Mother gave up after several years like that. If that is your will, then I will not search any longer, and she sent flowers and a ribbon as a sign of severance.
Without a single memo, only the Earl’s sole gift that she had kept.
The farewell bouquet reached the Earl’s hand safely as it wasn’t marked with the sender’s name. The Earl recognized that gift, even after a decade.
But by then, it was all too late.
How sorrowful must Mother have been to be abandoned again by the Earl.
If the Earl had received even one letter, would our mother still be alive……?
I cried for the first time in 7 years.
Everyone thought I had failed the exam, so fortunately, there was no need to excuse my sorrow.
(This is a time separator.)
The notice of the results of the Imperial Academy entrance examination also arrived at Duke Kaidel’s residence. There, it was brought directly by Academy staff rather than a courier.
Duke Rocard Kaidel was frowning as he looked at the notice on the sofa.
“So am I the top student, or not?”
“The highest score is another student. Even including the music practical score that the student did not take.”
“Who is that?”
“It’s Labori Siha.”
“That’s a strange name.”
The Duke standing nearby asked.
“Is there no ‘Siha’ family in the nobility list? Is it a commoner?”
“I can’t identify the origin.”
The staff member said to the Duke, seeming embarrassed.
“We have discussed this internally. Even if Labori Siha appears, we have decided to invalidate the score based on the fact that he is not on the applicant list. The top student will be announced as Duke Kaidel’s son.”
“I see. Thank you.”
As the staff member left, Rocard flipped through the notice with a nagging look on his face.
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.
