Erwell of the Lutek family, a lineage known for producing many renowned scholars.
Krishna of the prestigious Ferni family, known for its lineage of artists.
Lisie was fond of the two of them.
Erwell was of a similar age to Lisie, a young lady with red hair, green eyes, and adorable freckles on her nose.
Krishna was a married woman with a child, possessing hair as dark as pitch and sapphire eyes.
Erwell had offered to stay in the green mansion, while Krishna had mentioned that she had to return home two to three times a week due to her child.
“Thank you for coming all this way, given your prestigious lineage.”
“It’s nothing, Countess. I consider it an honor to be able to see the flower of the famed Wittlo family in person and to serve by her side.”
At Krishna’s words, Erwell widened her eyes.
“The flower of the Wittlo family? Oh my, was that the real Iris?”
Krishna nudged Erwell’s ribs with her elbow.
“El.”
“Oh! I apologize, Countess. I was so surprised that I was impolite.”
Erwell quickly bowed her head.
Her voice had calmed considerably compared to when she was asking if it was the real Iris.
“So you two are acquainted.”
“Yes, we’ve had a connection with the Lutek family for some time, and have been interacting with this child since she was young.”
Erwell kept her mouth tightly shut, and Krishna answered instead.
“Erwell tends to be silent, so if I happen to answer on her behalf from time to time, I hope you’ll forgive me, Countess.”
Krishna’s added comment was curious.
Silent?
In Lisie’s eyes, Erwell looked as if she wanted to ask a bunch of things but couldn’t, which seemed a little uncomfortable.
But she didn’t point out that part.
As it was their first day, they simply exchanged pleasantries and left the parlor. Jamie, who had been waiting in front of the parlor, quickly approached Lisie and whispered.
“Miss Jilette will likely be waiting in Iris’ room.”
Lisie nodded slightly and instructed the two new maids to guide them to their rooms.
As she walked to her room, Lisie’s eyes cooled.

After Jamie had shown Erwell and Krishna their rooms, she told them that they could rest in their rooms until they received further instructions from Lisie.
As soon as Jamie left, Erwell looked at Krishna and opened her mouth.
“Wow, it’s amazing. Wow, seriously. Awesome.”
“El….”
“No, it’s seriously amazing. Wow. The flower of the Wittlo family, Iris. I thought it was an exaggerated rumor… Wow, she was really pretty. I was taken aback. Did you see her smiling at me? Wow, seriously. I almost melted. My heart almost stopped.”
Krishna sighed.
“El, please change your way of speaking. A woman who’s already twentyfive shouldn’t talk like that. That’s why no man shows up wanting to take you with him.”
“Ah, forget it. I don’t need a man who wants to take me with him. I can’t live pretending to be elegant, even if it kills me.”
At the sight of Erwell sprawling on the sofa and putting her feet up on the table, deep wrinkles formed on Krishna’s forehead.
Despite wearing a beautiful dress, she behaved like that.
If the elegant Countess saw Erwell behaving like this, she might faint.
“Erwell, I don’t know about anything else, but I have one request.”
“What is it?”
Erwell asked, scratching her head.
“Please, get rid of those ugly tattoos hidden under your dress!”

As soon as Lisie entered the room, she noticed Jilette comfortably sitting on the sofa.
Jilette appeared to be the owner of this room.
Even though Jilette must have heard Lisie coming in, she didn’t stand up. She just turned her head and stared up at Lisie.
Without a word, Lisie walked over and sat down across from Jilette, staring at her silently.
With her rich brown hair, pale skin, large eyes, and green irises, the compact features scattered over her small face were harmonious.
With a face as pretty as Britney’s, Lisie could understand why Jilette was so arrogant.
Initially, Jilette received Lisie’s gaze with a scornful expression, but as Lisie didn’t speak, it seemed difficult for her to endure, and she started fidgeting with her fingers.
In the end, Jilette was the one who broke the silence.
“Why did you call me?”
“It seems the Merdi family, being poor, entrusted your education to a street urchin.”
“Huh?”
Jilette raised her eyebrows.
Jilette turned red, belatedly realizing that the comment was a criticism.
Lisie didn’t say anything, just watching her.
Jillet seemed to want to refute Lishi’s words, but it would be hard to find the words to do so. After all, it was a fact that she had been rude to the mistress of this mansion.
Jillet clenched both fists, biting her lower lip. So much force was put into her hands, which had been casually placed on her thighs, that they turned white.
‘She must want to hit me.’
Lishi had already figured out Jillet.
If Jillet had been wise, she would have discreetly courted Kevrant’s favor, while showing respect to the mistress of the mansion.
But Jillet was revealing all of her emotions. Such an opponent was easy to handle.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
