Because she had given away all the medicines in her possession in Sephia Village, her bag now only contained anesthesia powder and sleep powder.
Sighing deeply, she blew her breath to melt the chilly feeling in her stomach.
Why is the rain pouring like this again? Whether it continued or stopped, the temperature was bound to drop sharply at night.
‘If he gets a fever like this, what should I do?’
Shalti glanced around the cave.
Although visibility was difficult due to the heavy rain, the melted snow made the grass around the cave quite visible.
While she would have to step on the ground and check one by one, she could distinguish between herbs and weeds.
Shalti sneakily observed Ren’s reaction inside the cave.
‘He’ll probably oppose it again.’
Ren wouldn’t allow Shalti to venture into the mountains in such heavy rain to find herbs, especially considering the dangerous situation.
‘He probably won’t understand.’
Given Ren’s personality, he seemed likely to blame himself.
‘…I have no choice.’
Rubbing her sore arm, Shalti stood up in the pouring rain.
The rainwater followed the path she had dug, avoiding pooling, and flowed towards the bushes. Since there was a slope, it would serve as a makeshift solution.
Hastily returning to the cave, Shalti took off her damp robe.
“Sha, I’m sorry. I said I would help, but…”
Ren handed her a towel, bowing his head as if admitting defeat.
His complexion still wasn’t good. It seemed that his fatigue was gradually intensifying.
“No. I know you tried your best. And if anyone should apologize, it’s me.”
“What do you have to apologize for?”
Instead of answering, Shalti looked at Ren with a compassionate gaze.
“I feel sorry for not taking care of you. Since you must be tired, it’s better to rest early today.”
Shalti avoided Ren’s confused gaze and vaguely mumbled, making eye contact difficult.
Even if she explained the cause of his fatigue to Ren, he would surely deny it. His lingering sense of consideration was disheartening.
“Ren, lie down here.”
“You lie down first.”
“If you say so, the master will refuse…”
“….”
Using the title of ‘master’ on herself, Shalti spoke vaguely, and Ren obediently lay down on the blanket. It seemed uncomfortable for him to lie alone, so he tossed and turned.
Shalti coughed lightly and took a water bottle from her bundle.
“Drink and get a good night’s sleep.”
After adding a small amount of sleep powder, she shook the water bottle and handed it to Ren. He reluctantly took the water bottle.
Ren, despite saying he would endure without drinking, felt his body gradually becoming heavier. It would be better to borrow the power of the sleeping pills and get a good night’s sleep.
By that time, wouldn’t the annoying sound of rain subside?
“Then I’ll stand guard at night.”
“Yeah. I’ll wake you up if I get sleepy.”
At Shalti’s words, Ren let out a deep sigh. He slightly raised his upper body, finishing the water bottle completely. A bitter taste lingered on his tongue and disappeared. Ignoring the irritating sound of rain, he lay down again.
Looking up at the damp cave wall, Ren slowly closed and opened his stiff eyes.
“…Sha-.”
“Yeah?”
Ren turned his head to look at Shalti.
Deep turquoise eyes in the darkness were flickering profoundly.
“I think I’ll fall asleep quickly if you make a knee pillow like you used to.”
“….!”
As he mentioned the past, a flush spread across Shalti’s face.
Shalti, with a red face, looked at Ren and neatly folded the fur coat.
“Sleep well.”
The fluffy fur pillow was complete.
It wasn’t the Shalti who would easily fall for such a transparent trick.
Ren, smiling slyly, moved his arms this time and extended his hand to her.
“Your hand?”
In a plain tone, Shalti fumbled with her hands and took his.
“…Well, if it’s your hand.”
Holding Shalti’s cold hand firmly, Ren closed his eyes.
As long as he held this small hand, everything, nightmares, a sense of infinite gloominess, would be okay.
-As long as he held Shalti’s hand, everything would be okay.
His body felt heavy.
The sound of rain echoed in his ears.
Had his body gotten wet in the rain?
His body was so heavy that it felt like he couldn’t open his eyes even if they were soaked like cotton in water.
A nightmare.
The ringing in his ears sent shivers down his spine.
He reluctantly opened his eyes.
Darkness.
It was nothing but endless darkness.
There were no boundaries between the sky and the ground; there was only darkness.
Syaah-.
Unfailingly, the sound of rain reached his ears.
He wet his head, but the rain didn’t come.
Only the sound of rain without a visible form reached him.
‘What is this?’
While exploring the surroundings, he found something in the pitch-black place.
His legs moved.
And it appeared.
‘People?’
People were gathered like ants, and the back view of the swarming crowd was eerie.
Syaah-.
Run.
It was the moment he took a step back to run.
Thump-.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
All the shadowy people turned their heads simultaneously.
Only eerie mouths were visible on their shadowy faces.
The corners of their mouths rose grotesquely.
‘Don’t let them catch me.’
Sooner than he thought, his legs moved.
He fled from the hands reaching out like crazy.
But the darkness continued endlessly, and no matter how much he ran, the black hands gradually approached.
Catch.
Catch.
Catch.
And the moment he was caught by the black hands, his body was pierced.
‘…Huh?’
He was being stabbed, stabbed continuously.
Holes started to appear in his body, one by one.
‘Li-live…!’
The moment he shouted in the darkness, the black hand covered his mouth.
In the immediate fear that it felt like it would shatter his subordinates, he grabbed the black hand.
‘… A child?’
It was the small hand of a child.
At that moment, the mouth of the black figure widened, laughing.
The black figure kindly raised one finger, pointing around.
‘….’
There were corpses.
One, two, countless bodies were scattered beneath his feet.
Suddenly, instead of darkness, red was filling the surroundings.
‘… Blood?’
Unconsciously uttered words, and at the same time, there stood only one fully grown adult in that place.
Stepping on the red liquid flowing on the ground.
Syaah-.
Was it raining red?
At that moment, numerous mouths appeared on the red liquid, laughing towards him.
It was a moment of blocking his ears from the seemingly insane laughter.
Have you forgotten everything?
“…Huuk!”
As his eyes opened wide, the suppressed breath burst out.
Ren swiftly sat up, grasping his chest and exhaling rough breaths.
Syaah-.
Ren, who turned his head abruptly, looked outside the cave with a pale, horrified face.
His vision was dizzy.
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.
