Surviving as the Adopted Daughter of the Genius Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 38
“How did you know? That there was wine on the necklace?”
At my question, Hith’s face stiffened slightly. After glancing briefly toward the lounge, Hith smiled faintly, as if nothing had happened.
“I saw the waiter spill the wine.”
He was smiling, yet there was something oddly subdued about him, and I couldn’t bring myself to ask further.
“That’s a relief. If it really hadn’t been Hith, things could’ve turned out badly.”
Hith said nothing and merely smiled quietly.
Kirian, having once again slipped away from people’s notice to find a suitably secluded spot, watched as Hith gently steadied Reina’s head—and his eyes sank into unfathomable depths.
It was clearly a situation where she had no choice but to ask Hith for help.
Telling her older sister was out of the question—Mother’s eyes were always fixed on Reina, ever watchful lest anything happen to her precious daughter.
There was only one person close enough to Reina, holding a position trusted by others, who would readily step forward to help even in an unfavorable situation.
Thanks to that, what could have easily become a noisy incident was smoothly resolved.
She’d even asked Hith to keep it secret that he’d come, worried her sister might fret.
Yet seeing her sister thank someone else filled her with a dark, heavy feeling deep in her stomach.
Unable to bear watching any longer, Kirian slipped back out onto the terrace and roughly ran his fingers through his hair.
He’d hoped the cold wind might soothe his churning stomach, but it only made him feel worse, not better.
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.
