Sharletti rubbed her cheeks.
The pounding of her startled heart was still echoing in her ears.
‘There were no signs of the hood being removed.’
The first thing she checked after entering the bedroom was the hood and robe, which were not much disheveled.
Of course, there was a moment of fear thinking Len might have secretly checked while she was asleep, but if he had touched her, she would have woken up immediately.
Due to the trauma of being taken to the Kriannet royal palace five years ago, Sharletti still had a habit of waking up instantly if someone touched her while she slept.
‘Besides, he even relaxed the muscles in my legs.’
Her upper body was a bit stiff, but the legs massaged by Len felt surprisingly light.
‘When Len said he would massage me, I was so alarmed I thought of refusing.’
The massage Len started while watching Sharletti’s reactions was cautious and meticulous.
His careful kneading of muscles naturally led her tired mind to fall quickly into sleep.
Not waking her up from the sofa could also be a form of consideration.
‘I should have also written a thank-you note.’
The note she left in the kitchen only contained a message to eat the meat soup she had prepared well.
Realizing her gratitude too late, Sharletti was overwhelmed by a sense of self-reproach.
‘Let’s return as early as possible today.’
She was concerned about Len eating alone. It’s said that food doesn’t taste as good when eaten alone.
She hoped Len would enjoy and be satisfied with the hard-earned meat.
Sharletti hastened her steps for an early return.
‘I need to visit the herbalist first.’
Upon reaching the village, Sharletti went to the herbalist to sell the herbs she had picked the previous night.
The basket full of herbs fetched only 20 bronze coins.
“Well done.”
In the mountain village, the rates for herbs and wild greens were relatively low.
She got a generous price considering she brought a lot of rare herbs.
“Didn’t you make more ointments for the soldiers you treated yesterday?”
She only had extra ointment for the soldiers.
The herbalist, who wanted to sell Sharletti’s ointment to the soldiers, clicked his tongue in disappointment.
With 20 bronze coins, Sharletti headed to a clothing store.
She hesitated to enter the store she had always passed by, but the shopkeeper greeted her warmly.
Entering the store, she saw various clothes on display.
‘The sizes…’
All the clothes visible seemed too small for Len.
‘…Trousers for 5 silver?’
Sharletti’s mouth fell open at the price tag.
She hesitated and checked other clothes.
Although there was a range of prices, none were affordable for her.
“These clothes that just came in are waterproof and durable. Perfect for living in the mountains.”
Since it was early, the shopkeeper chatted with Sharletti, who was the only customer.
Noticing that she was only looking at men’s clothing, he looked surprised.
“What, getting a gift for someone?”
Everyone in the village knew the doctor who wore a hooded robe, hiding her face, and lived alone in an old log cabin in the mountains.
Sharletti, not flustered, gave her prepared excuse.
The shopkeeper, with sparkling curiosity, nodded understandingly.
“Then choose from those over there. They are well-ventilated and light. Good for indoor use.”
He pointed to clothes suitable for indoor use, light and inexpensive.
But she couldn’t buy just indoor clothing forever. Soon, she had to consider outdoor clothing for Len, especially since the soldiers would leave the village soon.
Given her budget, she had to give up on ready-made clothes.
Instead, Sharletti purchased thick fabric suitable for the chilly weather.
“I can make a top and bottoms with this, and I need to remove the buttons.”
Thinking of the buttons that kept popping off Len’s chest, Sharletti chuckled to herself.
Being gloomy wouldn’t help. She decided to think positively.
In reality, Sharletti’s schedule was tight, with her time spent roaming the mountains to collect herbs and making ointments. She didn’t have time for sewing.
“Just a bit more diligence, a bit less sleep.”
Sharletti felt motivated thinking about making clothes as a return favor for the massage.
Holding the thick fabric, she left the clothing store and went to fetch Tain.
“Teacher!”
She ran into Tain, who was on his way to the inn.
“I’ll help you again today, teacher!”
Tain declared confidently.
Sharletti, hand in hand with Tain, arrived at the inn and immediately encountered Tristan.
“You’re early today.”
Tristan looked tired under his eyes, probably from setting up search parties with the soldiers all night long. Thankfully, his expression was bright.
“Yes. I only used it for soldiers who complained of severe pain, and advised the others to endure as much as possible.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
