‘What should I do?’
There was a way to let Icarus misunderstand that the book belonged to her. However, there was a concern that Icarus might mistakenly think the contents of the book matched her taste if that happened.
Then, he might act according to the contents of the book…
‘Yes. This is the responsibility of the one who secretly hid this book in my bedroom.’
Reneve quickly gathered her resolve and spoke.
“Icarus, that’s Amber and Kieren’s treasure. So, I hope you don’t dispose of it.”
“This… is considered a treasure?”
Icarus’s handsome forehead wrinkled nicely.
Amber had a sociable personality.
She was interested in people, and thanks to that, she excelled in the new role of a messenger bird, asking Reneve for various pieces of information.
As she traveled around with Reneve, her perspective on people broadened, and she came to understand the diversity of individuals.
Coincidentally, her curiosity about romance was growing day by day.
One day, after hearing about adult romance from Wendy, who had started dating the blacksmith early on, she opened her eyes to a new field.
However, she hesitated to act rashly, considering that her usual behavior might affect the reputation of the young lady she served.
Amidst the growing curiosity, what caught Amber’s eyes was a red book.
With its red cover, the book easily satisfied Amber’s curiosity without affecting the reputation of the young lady.
“Amber? What kind of book is that?”
Kieren asked Amber, who was lying on the bed, reading the red book.
“…Ah, this?”
After hesitating for a moment, Amber opened a page with an illustration in front of Kieren.
“Oh my!”
Startled, Kieren stepped back, surprised by the intertwined images of a man and a woman.
‘Was it too stimulating for Kieren?’
While having such thoughts and observing his reaction, Amber didn’t realize that Kieren’s gaze had fallen from the illustration.
Both Amber and Kieren were adults, and if they had married early, it was about time for them to have a small child.
So, she thought that Kieren should know about it.
“Is this the first time you’ve seen something like this?”
In response to Amber’s question, Kieren, with his ears turning slightly red, raised his head.
“No… that’s not it. I’ve seen my younger brother hiding one near the bedside while cleaning.”
Amber thought with a mischievous smile.
Externally pretending to be innocent, but unexpectedly, they might communicate well in this area.
“I only need a little more time to finish reading. Will you also want to see it once I’m done, Kieren?”
“…Huh?”
Surprised, Kieren quickly rolled his eyes. However, he didn’t immediately refuse.
“Okay. Okay. Delaying consideration only delays the time to read the book, so I’ll quickly read it and lend it to you.”
Amber immediately turned her head to the book.
Although it was a bit difficult to concentrate when she thought someone was nearby, the novel was so popular that she could quickly immerse herself in it.
That was the starting point where Amber and Kieren began sharing the red book.
Afterward, both of them were busy trying to acquire the latest works of their favorite author.
This continued until Reneve and Amber briefly visited Paradisium after their study period in Vasuker.
“Miss, we have a prepared gift.”
On the night of the wedding.
Reneve, who had finished preparing for the upcoming wedding night, was taking a short break.
“…A gift?”
“Yes. It was really difficult to find. Now, it’s a rare item that’s out of print, making it hard to come by.”
Reneve accepted it as a gift, meaning it was something precious.
Although it was somewhat strange for Amber and Kieren to present a book as a gift in the bridal chamber, judging from the cover alone, it seemed to be a book about Vasuker’s costumes and culture.
“Thank you.”
Reneve smiled and accepted the book that Amber offered.
“After reading it, you must share your thoughts, okay?”
“Sure.”
In response to Amber’s words, Reneve nodded willingly.
…?
However, unlike the cheerful Amber, Kieren’s expression was subtly different.
It seemed somewhat embarrassed…
“Then, we’ll leave now.”
With a slight bow, Amber and Kieren left the bedroom, and Reneve, sitting on the edge of the bed, began flipping through the pages of the book.
“…Is this a novel?”
As she continued, she was surprised by the illustrations interspersed throughout the book.
“Well, what is this…”
After looking around the empty bedroom, Reneve quickly examined the contents of the book.
After seeing a few more illustrations of men and women entwined, Reneve realized Amber and Kieren’s intention.
It seemed to be a gift prepared for her to spend her first night as a newlywed.
“…”
Licking her dry lips, she looked surprised while fanning herself.
From the corridor, footsteps could be heard.
“Is it Icarus?”
Reneve looked down at the book in her hands and hesitated.
“First of all, it’s better to hide this book…”
While looking for a suitable place to hide the book, footsteps approached closer.
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.
