“And now, it’s just you and me here.”
Yes, just the two of us.

Even though she knew it was a joke, it was still embarrassing. To change the subject, Yul Li quickly glanced around. A cat tower in the corner caught her eye.

“Is there a cat here?”
Is it hiding because it’s wary of strangers? She couldn’t find the cat anywhere.

She wasn’t particularly fond of animals, but she thought it would be less uncomfortable if there was a cat than just the two of them. However, a disappointing answer came back soon.

“It went home. The cat and its friend. They’ll return on the weekend.”
So it means that he’s alone tonight.

In that case…

“I should get going.”
Yul Li quickly rose from the sofa, picking up the bag she had set aside. But before she could fully stand up, Je Ho grabbed her wrist. In her awkward position, neither standing nor sitting, Yul Li looked at Je Ho. He was staring back at her and lightly squeezing her fingers.

“I wish you could stay a bit longer…”
Was it because his voice was breaking? Somehow, his gaze seemed distant. His face also appeared pale. A man who had never shown weakness before… Yul Li was captured by the strange feeling.

Was it triggering her protective instinct? Her chest tightened, her throat felt ticklish, and she couldn’t take a step.

In the end, Yul Li sat back down on the sofa. As she settled in, Je Ho let go of her wrist and stepped back.

Perhaps it was just her feelings, but her caught wrist felt as if it had been burned and a heat seemed to spread throughout her body.

She didn’t know why she was reacting like this. He just grabbed her wrist once, it was not a big deal. Yul Li tried to stay calm and gently wrapped her hand around her wrist.

“Have you had dinner?”
Yul Li was the first one to break the awkward silence.

“…No, not yet.”
“Then, would you like me to prepare something simple? It must be hard for you to do it alone with your injured shoulder.”
Instead of answering, Je Ho leaned his head against the back of the sofa and closed his eyes. Taking this as consent, Yul Li immediately headed to the kitchen.

The refrigerator was empty. Neither the homeowner nor Je Ho seemed to be the type to eat at home. Other than a bottle of water, there wasn’t even a common side dish like stirfried anchovies or kimchi.

Luckily, she found a few retort products and a can of tuna in the cabinet. She chose mushroom porridge and spicy canned tuna, put them in a bowl, and heated the porridge in the microwave. She prepared a simple meal and returned to the living room. It took less than 10 minutes, but Je Ho had fallen asleep leaning against the sofa in the meantime.

Perhaps he was extremely tired since he had just come up from the countryside. Not wanting to wake him, Yul Li, who had been about to quietly slip out of the apartment, changed her mind at the entrance. He was injured, so she felt he should be sleeping somewhere warm.

Yul Li returned to the sofa and lightly touched Je Ho’s shoulder.

“Hmm.”
Instead of waking up, he frowned and mumbled.

“…I’ll sleep a little more.”
Was he dreaming? It didn’t seem like he was talking to her.

“Stop doing this here and go to your room.”
Yul Li touched Je Ho’s shoulder again.

And then, all of a sudden, he reached out his hand and pulled her towards him. Caught off guard, Yul Li ended up in his arms without resisting.

“Hah, Jasmine.”
A sweet sigh escaped from Je Ho’s mouth as he held Yul Li.

((()))((()))((()))

“…Enough.”
Disappointed at Je Ho’s refusal to wake up, a look of disappointment rose in the green eyes looking down at him.

“…Hmm, I’ll sleep a little more.”
“Meow.”
Hurt by the cruel rejection, Jasmine cried sadly. With the landlord, Woo Gyeol, sleeping in late because it was the weekend and not serving her food, Jasmine had gone to the next room to find Je Ho. But Je Ho, like Woo Gyeol, had no intention of getting up either.

“Meow.”
However, Jasmine didn’t give up and kept bothering Je Ho. She hit his face with her tail and then hit his chest with a soft baton.

“Hah, Jasmine.”
Then Je Ho, seemingly helpless, pulled Jasmine into his arms with his eyes still closed. If he held her and stroked her head, Jasmine would allow him to sleep for 10 more minutes, even while she was whining, “meow, meow.”

But today, why was it so different? Jasmine’s body felt warmer and softer than usual.

There was something strange, but because of unbearable fatigue, it was hard to open the eyes. As I drew Jasmine closer, a sweet and refreshing fragrance wafted from her soft, writhing body.

What is this scent?

It’s not Jasmine…

Suddenly, the eyes snapped open.

“…Ah.”
Yul Li’s face, flushed in the pouring bright light, filled the sight. Did I accidentally fall asleep in the meantime? Je Ho furrowed his brows and blinked slowly. He could still sense the soft touch and the sweet scent from the dream.

As he slowly got up, Yul Li hastily backed away.

“Don’t sleep on the sofa. Go to your room.”
Before Je Ho could speak, Yul Li clutched her bag to her chest and hurried towards the entrance.

“Oh, right.”

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.
