Lady Devil - Chapter 163
163.
Inette’s face was that of someone who had been uprooted. Her lowered eyelids and unfocused pupils showed no sign of life.
Johannes felt a momentary pang of sympathy as he stood with his back to the door, staring at Inette who was standing motionless. His guess that she had been shocked by the events of the day seemed natural at first glance. Johannes pulled her hand and comforted her.
“You look very startled. Understandable. Its fangs were like daggers and its body was comparable to my riding horse. It was big, big, I’d heard about it a few times but I thought it was just a large cat. To think it was that size…”
Did she get scratched from falling backwards? The shallow cut on Inette’s hand was rubbing against his palm. Johannes interlocked his fingers with Inette’s and pulled her hand to his lips.
Inette’s shoulder swayed lightly before clinging to his. Johannes kissed the back of Inette’s hand cupped in both of his, then pressed his forehead against it as if giving thanks to heaven, only shifting his deeply lowered gaze sideways to stare at Inette.
“That you’re… safe. How fortunate.”
His voice, softly exhaled from within, sounded just like a sigh he had deeply buried all day. While not minding the wound on his own arm at all, he whispered as if unconsciously asking to be embraced right away, like someone more gravely injured. He looks at his sister with eyes holding back thirst.
But Inette remained silent.
She stiffened her mouth like a wooden carving. She didn’t properly meet the gaze of her brother who was desperately seeking her comfort. She only fluttered her even paler eyelids and lowered them further. Meanwhile, her cheeks that had lost color took on an inexplicable flush.
The face of a young girl.
Why is she acting so uncharacteristically shy?
That was what Johannes initially found strange when he witnessed her unusual reaction. Is she unable to follow the topic? Suddenly something occurred to him and he lifted his forehead from the back of Inette’s hand. Gently looking down at her face pressed against his ear, he spoke soothingly.
“That beast from earlier, they call it a black leopard. Father brought it back during the last hunting season, I hear.”
“…I know.”
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.
