Regina, who received the Emperor’s command to look after.
She was not an easy lady to deal with.
Always hitting an invisible wall, keeping a distance as if not approaching too closely.
As if hoping to be alone, she found the care around her burdensome.
But when looking at those blue eyes gazing blankly out the window.
When hearing her breathing rapidly after waking up from sleep.
I couldn’t leave her alone.
Olivia refined her thoughts and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock.
“Miss Regina, it’s Olivia.”
No response despite the calling.
Olivia tightly grasped the cloth.
“I will go in.”
Olivia boldly turned and pushed the door with a handle coated in gold.
As the bathhouse door opened, a warm steam rushed into her lungs.
Moving towards the bathtub made of high-quality marble tiles, Olivia passed through the hazy mist.
“Miss Regina, it’s time.”
Regina was soaking in a tub where rose petals were floating.
Beautiful goddesses were engraved on the marble railing, and she was lying down with her eyes closed.
Thanks to the warm water, her cheeks rose, shining with a rosy hue like petals.
Glistening water droplets sparkled on the tip of her nose.
Her hair floated on the surface of the tub, tinting the water with a golden hue.
Combined with the surrounding mist, it felt like stepping into a mythical world.
Observing this dreamy sight, Olivia couldn’t erase her worried feelings.
The world of myths was just an illusion after all.
“Are you okay?”
Even with Olivia’s concerned words, Regina remained silent.
“If it’s hard, I’ll inform Her Majesty.”
Olivia hesitated for a moment, thinking about the Emperor and Regina.
Strangely, the Emperor was lenient with Regina.
Even if she canceled the engagement, he probably wouldn’t get angry or resentful towards Regina.
Regina’s well-being came first.
Having made up her mind, Olivia declared firmly.
“I will inform that I can’t attend the victory celebration.”
At that moment, Regina’s eyes, which were weakly closed, opened wide.
Water droplets on her eyelashes streamed down her cheeks like tears.
“No.”
At Regina’s voice echoing in the tub, Olivia was taken aback, nearly dropping the cloth she held.
“I will attend.”
Regina uttered determinedly, slowly lifting her head.
The sound of flowing water echoed in the quiet bath.
The clear and transparent water droplets, illuminated by light, flowed down Regina’s enchanting curves.
Her moist golden hair spread alluringly down her back.
Absentmindedly watching, Olivia barely swallowed the moan that almost escaped.
On Regina’s left arm, there remained an unpleasant scar.
It was striking against her white and transparent skin.
She didn’t look like a rough-grown lady.
Why does she have such a scar?
“Am I very late?”
In response to Regina’s question, Olivia hastily unfolded the cloth.
“No.”
Olivia approached Regina, who was walking out of the tub, and wrapped her wet body.
Olivia’s hand covering the cloth and Regina’s hand trying to unwrap it touched each other.
Regina looked down for a moment, then raised her head to gaze at Olivia.
A strange silence floated amid the humid air.
Is it uncomfortable?
Recalling Regina, who withdrew her hand every time Olivia touched her, Olivia cautiously removed her hand.
Only then did Regina slowly move her body.
“If you prepare now, we can make it on time.”
As Regina came out of the room, the maids waiting began to move busily.
They combed and dried her wet hair, elegantly styled it.
The hairpin prepared by the Emperor was also inserted and decorated.
After lightly applying a fine powder to her face and adding a touch of red to her lips with a red cloth, she looked lively.
She wore a blue velvet dress adorned with white lace and hung a sapphire necklace resembling her eyes around her neck.
Wearing custom-made shoes and even gloves on her slender hands, she was ready.
The maids who assisted in the preparations were convinced.
They were sure that the Regina they adorned would be the most beautiful and dazzling at this victory party.
It was certain that everyone in the imperial palace, the center of the empire, would look at Regina first.
Yet, she was just staring blankly out the window.
While the maids were busy dressing her and applying makeup, she only stood still, entrusting her body like a doll.
Like a pitiful bride married to the deceased, or like someone waiting for the last leaf to fall outside the window.
She just endlessly gazed at the garden outside the window.
“Her Majesty is waiting in the reception room.”
A maid approached and informed respectfully.
Only then did Regina’s gaze move away from the window, looking at Olivia.
“I will follow soon. Please let Her Majesty depart first.”
Following Olivia’s advice, Regina slowly stood up.
With Regina’s movements, the jewels attached to her dress made a brilliant sound.
Leaving behind the pleasant sound of waves, Regina stepped into the reception room.
In the room connected to the reception room, the Emperor was waiting for Regina.
Balter stood by the window where the golden sunset poured in.
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.
