“Our son-in-law. It’s a good morning.”

Duke Julius greeted warmly and happily extended his hand with a familiar and cheerful expression, as if he had received greetings from the master yesterday.

Arthur smiled and readily shook hands with the Duke.

“Are you well?”

When Arthur accepted the handshake, the Duke smiled even wider.

“Thanks to you.”

In response to the Duke’s genial greeting, Arthur raised his lips and spoke pleasantly.

“Many days must have been sleepless because of me. I feel heavy-hearted receiving such a warm welcome. I was amazed and admired the generosity you showed this time. Not in a sarcastic way.”

“Hehehe!”

The Duke, bursting into hearty laughter, shook hands once more with a benevolent smile on his face.

“No, I was the one who admired. I’m not being sarcastic either.”

A carefree laugh, not like someone who had just given away their entire fortune by force, blossomed on the Duke’s face.

As if the tension built up from financial troubles had unraveled, the atmosphere between the two became warm and friendly with laughter and frankness that hadn’t been there before.

“I apologize for making you wait so long. I wanted to welcome you sooner as I was the one who made you feel uncomfortable first, but your skill is extraordinary. Did you have a hard time adjusting?”

The Duke, as a final touch, rolled his eyes dramatically.

Arthur smoothly smiled.

“Thank you for saying that. However, if someone should be amazed at the skill, it should be me, not Duke Julius.”

“Hehehe! This person, really!”

The praise and recognition of a talented son-in-law, so admired by everyone, made the Duke feel exhilaratingly good.

Despite everyone bowing their heads, General Arthur, the commander-in-chief, who no one would meet, standing side by side without any pretense, and receiving such a deserving welcome as a worthy son-in-law pleased him.

This guy wasn’t an easy one.

So, it was more thrilling.

At one point, the fact that they had been in severe conflict with Arthur, who was now recognized by him, seemed to make the present, acknowledged by Arthur, even more shining.

The Duke affectionately patted Arthur’s arm and laughed.

“That’s right! Although our start may not have been smooth, I believe we will do well in the future. I accept the skill and negotiation you showed me as the reliability of my son-in-law from now on.”

The boast and joy made the Duke even more hearty.

The Duke was intoxicated with his own generosity.

“Please forgive generously, and I also ask you and our family for your good care. There will be more days for us to be together in the future than the days we have spent together so far. I will repay for the rest of my life.”

Arthur smiled cheerfully.

The Duke became satisfied.

All the complaints of Lady Julius, who had been jumping up and down about my decision in front of Arthur’s friendly smile, were completely forgotten.

The Duke, with lightened shoulders, looked for the butler.
“Today, let’s casually take a stroll together in the forest or explore the mountains. I have a course that I usually take, so there’s no need to worry about encountering other people. Oh, by the way, do you happen to enjoy hunting?”

Arthur smiled warmly.

“It was a part of my life. I don’t enjoy it immensely, but I manage not to be embarrassed. I’ll manage to coordinate well enough with Duke Julius.”

“Hahaha! This guy, so humble! There’s no one in this world who doesn’t know that you’re the empire’s top marksman!”

Arthur laughed without blinking an eye.

“That’s not entirely true. Let’s go.”

It was a time for socializing.

Reyna, who was nervously pacing around the reception room without even sitting down, turned abruptly in that direction as soon as Kay entered.

“Lady.”

Reyna bowed her head in greeting.

“Kay. I apologize for bothering you when you must be busy.”

“No, it’s not a problem. Grandma isn’t feeling well, so I understand your concern.”

Kay offered Reyna a brief word of comfort first.

Reyna, smiling slightly to indicate that everything was okay, conveyed a sense of gratitude even as she felt sorry for troubling him.

Before Reyna could hesitantly speak, Kay opened his mouth first, addressing her concerns.

“It’s not a situation to worry about that much. If it were serious, Taylor Lawrence would have been the first to bring you that news. But I understand that family concerns are different. Grandma is at an age where you would naturally worry.”

‘It’s not a situation to worry about that much’ to ‘family concerns are different,’ Kay accurately understood my feelings.

Reyna, appreciating Kay for understanding her anxious feelings about her grandmother, looked at him with gratitude.

Kay immediately got to the point.

“So, shall we go?”

“What?”

Kay stood up from his seat.

“Let’s go now. After all, you have permission from His Grace to visit Grandma. We’ve received permission, so why not?”

Reyna was surprised, and she questioned.

“Now?”

Ironically, it was such enthusiasm that made Reyna hesitate.

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.
