Tame or Be Captured (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 038
Asha asked with a sour expression.
“If you prefer dining alone, why are you having a meal with me?”
Karaf lifted his gaze briefly.
“Are you really asking out of ignorance? Aside from a flower being with a butterfly, what else could possibly be better…?”
At those words, Asha coughed sharply, covering her mouth—feeling as if she might vomit up what she’d just eaten.
Seeing that, Karaf frowned slightly and asked,
“I’m asking just in case… is my presence truly that unbearable for you?”
Asha wiped her mouth with a napkin and replied demurely,
“…It’s not that. But I must remain watchful, mustn’t I? To see just how sweet the honey hidden within the Empire’s Black Rose truly is—and whether I dare taste it myself.”
At her audacious reply, Karaf burst into hearty laughter.
“You are the first person who has dared to openly judge and test me like this…!”
Passing servants, startled by his laughter from within the room, soon assumed the two were sweetly and enjoyably chatting like newlyweds and smiled contentedly.
After a while, Karaf stopped laughing and gave her a deep, meaningful look.
“Fine. I’ll strive hard to earn the butterfly’s choice. I’ll show you right now just how extraordinary I am. Follow me.”
He abruptly stood from his seat and strode ahead, somehow seeming even more flustered than she was.
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.

No way…did Karaf set up this situation with the assassin or kidnapping attempt to earn points?
Not practically, it is a form of torture. Jackel didn’t jump into the water on his own while tied to the boulder.
It seems backward that the Empress is invited to a Duchess’ tea party.
