The village chief quietly sighed, then glanced at Sharti. The old man’s gaze continued to test Sharti.
“Teacher, do you understand now? The moment we receive help from the outside, we will all die with our mouths sealed. Wouldn’t it be better to die while keeping the secret?”
It was a question of choosing a better death.
Sharti slowly nodded her head.
“…I don’t need to understand the death others have chosen.”
“But you still want to save us.”
Even though they shared the secret, Sharti’s attitude remained unchanged.
In the eyes of the village chief, it seemed as if she couldn’t empathize with the dangerous and massive secret the village held.
“…”
With his eyes closed, Ashu’s grandfather slowly brushed his long white beard.
“Following the teacher’s intentions, let’s cooperate with treatment and interact with the outside.”
“Father.”
“That is a more terrible risk than falling ill. Risking our lives for something more dreadful than illness, unlike us, there is a place to return to, an outsider doctor. It doesn’t matter to us.”
“…”
“Why are you trying to save us, after all?”
The old man gazed at Sharti with a silent look.
“Even saving a life comes with responsibilities. Especially when saving someone who is willing to die. Does the doctor teacher have the determination for that?”
It was a profound question laden with the feeling of the years.
“Engaging with others haphazardly might lead to a price to pay.”
Strangely, at this moment, the one that came to Sharti’s mind was Ren.
Sharti squinted her eyes reflexively.
“Teacher, are you prepared to pay the price?”
It was a weighty question that resonated with ‘price.’

“Teacher, are you prepared to pay the price?”
It was a weighty question that resonated with ‘price.’
It’s someone else. A completely unrelated outsider, literally someone who can just return home.
In a village that remains unconvincing and uncooperative, striving to save people seemed to be a burdensome presence.
“I get it.”
Even Sharti, when faced with hostile gazes, felt an unexpected sense of guilt.
Why put effort into something that brings no benefit, dealing with a village that refuses to cooperate?
Sharti fidgeted with the hem of her robe.
“…Because it reminds me of myself.”
She might not have realized that she was identifying with herself from five years ago.
“If you are going to show burn marks like last time, it’s unnecessary.”
The village chief raised his head towards the contemplative Sharti.
He had already guessed the reason why she covered her face, noticing the burn scars on her right leg and arm that she had shown before.
When thinking rationally, the idea of a fire victim hiding and living seemed much lighter than their own secret.
“Father, I’m not forcing you, nor am I. So…”
Sharti slowly removed her hood.
Jet-black hair that had been hidden tightly flowed down.
As she raised her gaze, deep crimson eyes were revealed.
“…”
“…”
Facing the two people who were silenced by the identical face, Sharti slowly began to speak.
“If the reason for hiding an unscarred face is to have an equal secret, would that be sufficient?”
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.
