The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 38
The Astaroth Knights, upon their founding, blended Kwan-style combat techniques with the dominant Nixian swordsmanship to forge an exceptionally unique sword art.
This distinctive sword style, consisting of Forms One through Seven, resembled dancing with a blade—earning it the name “Sword Dance”—and proved the most effective method against monsters.
“Leo.”
Having calmly completed the Seventh Form, Meriem handed his sword to a young squire and approached me.
I took the towel a flustered servant had brought and gently wiped the sweat from Meriem’s brow.
Since I’d often done this, none of the onlookers found it unusual.
“Even though I deliberately wore high heels today, it’s still not easy to meet your eyes.”
“I don’t mind.”
Meriem’s voice was low, his tone gentle and soft.
He never raised his voice.
Because he remained calm no matter what happened, he had gradually become the mediator for all disputes within the order.
According to Chopin, Meriem—having no ties here except to me—delivered rulings that felt several times fairer than anyone else’s.
“Do you prefer me looking up at you?”
“No. But I like that you try so hard to meet my eyes.”
Meriem now stood at 6.3 feet tall.

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.
