Thud.
Sharp as Aaron’s gaze, a singleedged knife was thrown upward.
The gleaming blade reflecting light spun in midair before it landed back in Aaron’s hand.
Thud.
The caught blade was tossed into the air again.
The large, sturdy hand accurately caught the falling knife by the hilt.
Buried deep in his chair, Aaron was repeating the same action.
Thud.
From Aaron’s demeanor, one could sense an uncanny leisure that seemed out of place for a battlefield.
Yet, in the accuracy of his grip on the blade, an eerie sharpness was palpable.
“Commander, aren’t you working?”
A military officer holding a medical bag entered the tent, pushing aside the curtain.
“I’m working hard. Really.”
“To me, it looks like you’re doing nothing.”
“I’m vigilantly guarding a captive I’ve managed to catch.”
Aaron’s grey eyes, responding flatly, remained fixed on a woman.
The cover on the sleeping woman fluttered up and down in sync with her breath.
Seeing her asleep in his territory gave Aaron a peculiar sense of satisfaction.
With a lazy smile, Aaron tossed the blade back into the air.
“Isn’t that a bit too obvious? Who watches over a sleeping patient that diligently?”
“If you knew how hard it was for me to catch her, you’d never say that.”
Complaining, Aaron accurately caught the falling knife again.
He had captured her while playing the role of a fake captive himself.
When he first revealed the plan, the commanders had been shocked and tried to dissuade him.
The idea of the general commander, hands and feet tied, exposed to the enemy.
If the enemy realized, it was a plan that could risk his life.
However, Aaron’s obsession with the target he had missed was frighteningly tenacious.
No one could halt his fierce momentum.
Even the opposing commanders had no choice but to follow his strategy.
And as a result of the successful operation, Aaron now had his captured prey, sleeping soundly before his eyes.
Clasping the blade in his hand, Aaron rested his elbow on the armrest of the chair.
Leaning his body, he propped his chin on his hand.
The silvergrey eyes, distinctive of the Stiletz royal family, were still fixed on the woman.
“What is this woman’s identity?”
“An enemy.”
The military officer replied bluntly as he passed by Aaron’s side.
At the officer’s indifferent answer, Aaron furrowed his brows.
“I mean her real identity.”
“A captive.”
Tsk, Aaron clicked his tongue, as if disappointed.
Why were all his subordinates like this?
With Colin leaving his post to play the role of a fake commander, now even the medical officer was acting up.
Oblivious to his men becoming more like him, Aaron grumbled to himself.
“Why do my subordinates seem to be going mad?”
“Perhaps it’s because they’re taking after someone…”
The officer’s words trying to enlighten him were cut off by Aaron.
Aaron placed his index finger on his lips to silence him.
“Hush.”
At Aaron’s command, everything inside the tent held its breath.
Even the light rays seeping into the tent, and the dust particles floating between them, held their breath.
Hmm.
In the perfect silence, the woman’s faint whimper echoed.
Aaron, the military officer, and even Adjutant Dyke.
The three of them perfectly silenced their presence and watched the woman.
Her soft breathing permeated the air between them, who didn’t even dare to breathe.
The woman was still sleeping, her eyes closed.
However, she seemed uncomfortable, furrowing her brow and tossing in her sleep.
The golden strands of her hair, disarrayed by her light squirming, emitted a glow.
After she changed her lying position and a little time passed, the woman’s breathing returned to a regular rhythm.
The cover over her, now differently spread, was again rising and falling at a regular beat.
Sigh.
The three men exhaled simultaneously.
Their tense bodies relaxed with the sigh.
They inflated their lungs, which had shrunk from holding their breath, with air.
“But why do we have to be quiet?”
Seeing that the woman had fallen asleep again, the military officer looked at Aaron with a puzzled expression.
As far as I know, that woman is an enemy. A captive.
“Hush. Let her sleep more.”
Aaron’s voice was even lower than before.
With a face full of questions, the military officer looked at the commander.
“Are you whispering like this because you’re afraid the captive will wake up?”
“She seems to be in a lot of pain. She keeps furrowing her brow. She’s sweating a lot too.”
“Of course she’s in pain. We had to tear her flesh open without anesthesia.”
“She struggled all night and finally fell asleep. She can’t be woken up now.”
The military doctor blinked, staring at the commander.
Taking such great care of a captured enemy.
Unable to contain his curiosity, the military doctor asked a question.
“Is this woman that important? Worth your attention?”
At the abrupt question, Aaron turned his head and stared at the military doctor.
His silver eyes were emitting a peculiar light.
Swallowing hard under the penetrating gaze, the military doctor broke the silence after a moment.
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.
