It was a few years ago.
Kei had a conflict over a relic with a chancellor of a certain country.
The chancellor, a sly and cruel man, didn’t want to hand over the relic he had acquired to Kei. He had tried to secretly end Kei’s life because of his cunning nature.
In dealing with such a cunning man and eventually opposing the king of that country by ending the man’s life, Kei could confidently smile.
But now, Kei was in a situation where he couldn’t laugh or cry, with his mouth dry, throat parched, and his mind blank.
In the calm gaze and tone of Rishi, which he had never seen before, Kei didn’t even feel his heart trembling.
It was difficult.
Soothing his wife’s anger was more challenging than fighting against a king of a country.
“I…”
Still, feeling the need to say something, he moved his lips.
“There’s no one else but you.”
“From what I saw earlier, it didn’t seem like that when you hugged the princess.”
His breath got stuck.
She saw that!
Kei missed Jamie. If Jamie were here, she would have ridiculed him or harassed him to ease Rishi’s heart.
“I’m a bastard who deserves to die. There’s no one as bad as me.”
“Not to that extent.”
“I understand getting angry.”
“That’s right.”
“But… I really have no one else but you, Rishi.”
“Of course, you should say that.”
Wondering if her anger had eased, Kei examined her face, but the coldness still lingered on her beautiful face.
“How should I soothe your anger?”
“Should I tell you the way?”
“Oh, no, Rishi. Should I go and drive Princess Maeri away right now?”
“Or you could do that.”
“Alright, Rishi.”
If he could relieve Rishi’s anger, Kei could do anything.
Even though there was a lingering burden in his heart for the time when Maeri saved his life when they were young, Rishi was more precious.
Even if it meant not letting Maeri stay for a day and causing a rift between King Minasarik and himself, that would be fine. Kei just wanted to see Rishi’s smile again.
As Kei turned to go to Maeri’s room to chase her away, Rishi called him.
“Wait, Kei. You don’t have to do that. It won’t be good for relations with King Minasarik if you drive her away.”
“Do you think I want to kiss the King of Minasarik?”
A faint smile appeared and disappeared on Rishi’s lips.
Kei felt a bit relieved of the frustration pressing on his chest, but he didn’t let his guard down.
The crucial part was from now on.
“What about Princess Maeri?”
“Rishi, I guess I never told you before. You’re the first woman I’ve wanted to kiss in my entire life. You’ll be the only one from now on.”
“I see.”
“Can I kiss you now?”
“Not yet.”
Kei lowered his eyebrows.
“Making that expression won’t help. Oh, and turning into a wolf is cheating.”
Coincidentally, Kei was about to transform into a wolf. Rishi found the wolf Kei to be vulnerable.
“After finishing tonight’s dinner, if you come back, sigh, and wake up, then you can kiss me.”
“Then what about things other than a kiss?”
When Kei looked down at Rishi’s chest, Rishi blushed.
“You’re like this lascivious wolf.”
“Why? I was asking about things like patting shoulders or giving hand massages… What were you thinking, Rishi?”
With a wrinkled nose, Rishi picked up a cushion from the sofa and threw it at Kei.
Kei caught the cushion with a grin.
“It’s good that my wife’s mind is filled with naughty thoughts.”
“I’ve never had such thoughts!”
“No one believes that just because your face turns red when you say that, Rishi. Well then, let’s get ready for dinner at the appropriate time.”
Kei placed the cushion back on the sofa.
As Kei was about to leave the room, he turned back as if he had remembered something.
“Is blowing a kiss okay?”
Before Rishi could answer, Kei pressed his lips to his palm and blew a kiss towards Rishi.
At his playful gesture, Rishi barely managed to suppress a laugh.
+++
The dinner went smoothly.
Maeri didn’t make rude remarks and didn’t show an attitude of trying to outdo Rishi by only speaking to Kei. When Rishi spoke to her, she replied properly and even initiated conversations with Rishi.
Oddly, that weighed heavily on Rishi’s heart.
If Maeri continued behaving like this, it would be fortunate, but if she had other intentions and behaved like that, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
It was easier to deal with someone like Britney, who had short thoughts and charged forward straightforwardly.
After finishing dinner and getting up, Maeri called Kei.
“Kei, I have something to talk about.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
“Not here. Just the two of us. You understand, Lady Green Countess?”
Maeri smiled gently at Rishi.
Rishi also smiled gracefully and nodded, but Kei spoke first.
“If it’s something I can’t discuss in front of my wife, Princess, it’s better not to say it. I have no secrets from my wife.”
In response to the polite refusal, Maeri seemed embarrassed and blushed.
Seeing tears welling up in Maeri’s large eyes, Rishi internally bit her tongue.
If Maeri continued this act, it was truly an extraordinary performance. To handle facial expressions and tears so skillfully.
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.
