“Have you been in such a hurry that you’ve come to the Siren Duke’s residence since morning?”
Reneb turned her gaze away, ignoring Lucius’s hand.
It was embarrassing enough to reach out. There seemed to be no one to reject his kindness. Nevertheless, Lucius began to walk ahead with an air of nonchalance, as if nothing had happened.
“While strolling in the imperial garden, that flower caught my eye. I rushed here, thinking of you.”
The nonsense was overflowing.
Reneb clenched her fist, looking at Lucius’s familiar back and nape. She felt an urge to smash his nape with a pot right then and there.
Then Lucius looked back slightly at Reneb.
“Your Highness?”
“Thank you for the flower, Your Imperial Highness. I’ll decorate it in my room.”
“It’s nothing but a small gift, so don’t think too highly of it.”
A satisfied smile crept onto Lucius’s face.
He wandered around the Siren Duke’s garden, making various remarks. He had undoubtedly come to persuade Reneb, who had chosen Bashuker over the princess.
As they walked, a small, unused cottage appeared.
Lucius’s step stopped in front of its quaint appearance, like something out of a fairy tale.
It was a cottage built for Reneb’s late mother by the Siren Duke.
“I didn’t know there was such a place in the duke’s residence.”
In her previous life, Reneb had shared her first kiss with Lucius here. Back then, Reneb had been so excited she couldn’t sleep, honestly, because Lucius’s beauty was indeed extraordinary.
“Your Highness?”
Lucius woke Reneb from her momentary reverie.
“The sunlight is getting strong. Your Highness, shall we return?”
Reneb turned her gaze away from the cottage to Lucius.
“……!”
And was slightly startled. Lucius had approached right in front of her.
“……Your Imperial Highness?”
Their eyes met, and Lucius’s head tilted slightly towards Reneb. The blue pupils between his slightly narrowed eyes stared at Reneb’s lips.
‘Ah, instead of words, shall I persuade you with my body?’
Reneb looked at Lucius’s soft eyes for a moment.
And,
“Heh, choo!”
She averted the situation with a forced sneeze. Lucius’s forehead narrowed instantly, perhaps because of the suddenly ruined atmosphere.
“You seem to have caught a chill. Let’s head back to the mansion.”
“That is wise, Your Imperial Highness.”
Reneb bowed slightly with a blushing face.
Lucius, who was still leading, suddenly stopped.
As she tried to pass him by, Lucius suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“Reneb…….”
“Don’t touch me!”
Reneb reflexively raised her voice and shook off her grabbed wrist.
She felt regret at that moment. She had exposed her feelings, forgetting to hide her claws at a time when she should have.
But Lucius being close to her, even his breath felt like a trial, she was at her limit now.
“Reneb. Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
Lucius asked, looking somewhat tired, squeezing the hand that had grabbed Reneb’s wrist.
“Eh…….”
“Three years. It’s not a short time, you know that too?”
“Why shouldn’t I go to Bashuker, Your Imperial Highness?”
Reneb answered Lucius’s question with another question. Lucius spoke, running his large hand down his face.
“Reneb, you know that royal engagements happen earlier than ordinary nobles. Can’t you understand my position? Ah….”
He squeezed Reneb’s wrist harder as he spoke, anger rising.
“Ah!”
Though she didn’t want to show weakness, her grabbed wrist hurt too much.
There was a stark difference in strength between fragile Reneb and Lucius, who had practiced swordsmanship.
“Let… let go.”
“You can never escape me, Reneb.”
With those words, Lucius pulled Reneb’s wrist and kissed her.
‘This, crazy, bastard.’
Reneb twisted her body to resist Lucius as he crashed into her roughly.
But it was not easy, as Lucius held her tightly.
He violently grabbed Reneb’s chin. Reneb’s lips parted slightly.
“Ugh…!”
Reneb did not miss the opportunity and bit Lucius’s lip.
Though her brain was peppered with rage, she controlled her strength. She didn’t want to die for injuring a royal in this life. Nevertheless, a drop of red blood clung to Lucius’s lip.
“Reneb. What is this…!”
With a twisted expression, Lucius raised his hand. It was the moment when Reneb was reflexively about to kick Lucius in the groin.
“……?”
Something flew between the faces of Reneb and Lucius. Lucius, who found a small pebble rolling on the ground, shouted.
“Ruin! Ruin!”
Soon after, the royal knights rushed over.
“Did you call, Your Highness?”
Lucius bent one knee and sat down to pick up the stone. Then he turned his head in the direction from which the stone had come.
“Search the surroundings.”
“Yes!”
The royal knights quickly surrounded Lucius. Some knights dispersed to search the area.
“Your Highness, we will escort you by carriage!”
The knights, who judged it to be a dangerous situation, urged Lucius to return to the royal palace.
“Reneb. You better be careful. This insolent transgression is the last I’ll tolerate.”
With a low warning, Lucius slowly licked the red drop that had clung, then quickly left the place with his knights.
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.
